Hades

**Hades** is the God and the former leader of the Realm of the Dead.

## Appearance

Hades is a large man with long silvery-white hair and black eyes. He also has abnormally greyish-blue skin.

He wears black Greek-styled armor, and a cape that reaches down to his feet.

## Personality

Contrary to most myths and legends, Hades is shown to be very kind and caring towards others, preferring to have things sorted out through talking instead of fighting. He also has a very laid-back personality, preferring to do things at his own pace and causing his wife to punish him for it. Humorously, when he's up to his usual antics, the mere mention of his wife's name is enough to make him apologize immediately. However, Hades does have a serious side, which he has only revealed twice: during his fight against Olba Beelzebub and his confrontation with Morpheus.

## History

Hades was born as the fourth child and eldest son of the Titans, Cronus and Rhea. One of the Trinity Gods of Olympus, Hades is one of the Gods that have been active since the ancient times, ruling the Realm of the Dead.

## Powers & Abilities

### Godly (Grim Reaper) Abilities

**Immense Strength**: Given his status as one of the Top 10 "Strongest Beings in the World", Hades is immensely powerful and superior to even Zeus, the leader of the Greek Gods and Poseidon, the God of the Sea. Morpheus even told his servants once to avoid a direct confrontation with Hades.

**Expert Scythe Wielder**: Hades is incredibly skillful while he is wielding a scythe, as he is shown to be more proficient than even his most loyal servant Thanatos, the strongest Grim Reaper.

**Master Magician**: According to Thanatos, Hades is an ultimate Wizard-Technique type fighter. In addition to his Necromancy, Hades has exceptional skills in using magic, using defensive circles powerful enough to defend against attacks from Olba Beelzebub, who was empowered by Wagyl's snake enough to increase his powers to Satan-Class. In Volume 22, he learned from Azazel an hypnotism spell powerful enough to subdue Persephone, a Goddess with powers comparable to Satan-class Devils.

* **Hadal Heavenly Armor** (闇神の聖龍鎧ハダル・ヘブンリー・アーマー, *Holy Dragon Armor of the Darkness God*): A artificial version of Overdrive armor similar to that of Azazel's Vermilion Another Downfall Armor. By forming a contract with the dragon Kokytos, and using his powers with the Helm of Darkness, Hades can encase himself in an golden dragon-themed armor (similar to the Scale Mail armor) with black jewels, and allows him to control and manipulate darkness.
