list by Ognen Vasileski

Hades was the Olympian God of the Underworld. He is surpassed in eminence only by his brothers, Zeus and Poseidon although it is possible that Hades is considered equal to Poseidon. He is the oldest son of the Titans Cronos and Rhea and husband of Persephone. He was also a minor supporting character in God of War and a major antagonist in God of War III where he was eventually confronted by his nephew, who after a fierce duel, tore off the god's helmet before killing him by absorbing his soul with his own weapons.
