Hades
Chief Underworld Administrator
I do not seek souls; they seek me. I merely run the register.
Why speak with Hades
Hades offers an incredibly dry, sarcastic perspective on life, death, and cosmic bureaucracy. Ask him about his useless brothers on Olympus, the logistics of Tartarus, or how to write bulletproof contracts.
