- Hades to Nikandreos

Hades is a Greek god in Apotheon.

Brief History
Hades is the son of Titans Kronos and Rhea and brother to Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Demeter and Hestia. After the Titan Wars, he and his brothers drew lots to decide who would rule over the sky, sea, and Underworld. Hades became ruler of the Underworld after Zeus won the sky and Poseidon the sea. He is an Olympian, but prefers to spend time in his own domain. He is married to the goddess of spring, Persephone, who is Demeter's only daughter.

Apotheon
Hades is a benevolent god unlike some of his fellow Olympians and, along with Persephone, is willing to aid Nikandreos after he arrives in the House of Hades on his journey to find the Sheaf of Demeter. He initially assumes Nikandreos is there to ask for a loved one to be returned to life and informs him that he cannot do so. However, Persephone soon realises why their visitor is really there and gives Nikandreos the Seeds of Persephone before returning him to the Fields of Demeter on Mount Olympus. Hades does not feature heavily in the actual gameplay but nevertheless meeting him is an essential plot point.
