History Characters / HadesOtherCharacters

* CoolHorse: she rides a white/light blue pegasus.

* FaceOfAThug: Her more monstrous form looks like an eerie shadow, but she's just as friendly in that form, just showing her more hammy side.

* ArchnemesisDad: To call his relationship with his children "adverserial" is probably quite the understatement. His tyrannical nature turned his children -- Hades, Zeus, and Poseidon -- against him, and when the Titan War broke out, they fought each other fiercly. With the defeat of him and the other Titans, his body was sundered by his children, who scattered his pieces to negate his HealingFactor and evidently went through a lot of trouble to make sure he stayed down and locked up. On the few occasions his sons mention or allude to him, they have absolutely ''nothing'' good to say about him.

* ButNowIMustGo: After making peace with the Olympians, she explains to Zagreus that she will need to spend at least some time with their side of the family in order to keep that peace. With this in mind she departs for the surface again, but she promises to return in due time. Subverted in that she will still show up from time to time between runs and dialogue will indicate that she has already come back from olympus or is about to leave to visit there again.

* AssistCharacter: [[spoiler:She gifts the Chthonic Companion Fidi upon the House of Hades getting enough renovations and being given an Ambrosia, which allows her to be summoned for a homing petrifying projectile barrage attack.]]
* BetterAsFriends: [[spoiler:The conclusion she comes to at the end of her romance arc. She does love Zagreus and admits he's one of the nicest people in the House of Hades, but she's just not attracted to him in the romantic way. They choose to remain friends, but their level of mutual respect and platonic love is still plenty strong.]]

* CelibateHero: As it turns out, she may or may not be aromantic, as she admits to Zagreus that [[spoiler:she doesn't like him that way, though she certainly does enjoy his company. Even if platonic, her love is just as important to Zagreus as Meg's and Than's, should they develop a relationship]].

* EndearinglyDorky: Zagreus certainly thinks so, as he progresses in his relationship with her. [[spoiler:But it turns out she's just not attracted to him (or anyone, for that matter) in that way, so they decide they're BetterAsFriends.]]

* ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe: She balks at the idea of Zagreus even talking to her, much less reciprocating her crush. [[spoiler:If you do attempt to romance her, she ends up deciding they're BetterAsFriends]].

* LovingAShadow: Defied. [[spoiler:If Zagreus romances her and maxes out her bond level, she realizes that she had a crush on her idea of Zagreus, rather than him as a person. After getting to know the real him, this is heavily downplayed until she realizes she does (platonically) love him]].
* MarriedToTheJob: [[spoiler:What's her first reason for turning down Zagreus? A relationship would cut into time she could spend on work.]]

* FluffyTheTerrible: By modern standards; the original Greek version of his name, Kerberos, can translate to "Spotted".

* FriendlyGhost: She tries to act menacing when you first meet her, but it doesn't stick.

* FishOutOfWater: While she didn't ''hate'' it in the Underworld and notes she was treated well, she also never felt she belonged there. Zagreus's stillbirth served as the ultimate proof of this for her, so she left.

* ButNowIMustGo: After making peace with the Olympians, she explains to Zagreus that she will need to spend at least some time with their side of the family in order to keep that peace. With this in mind she departs for the surface again, but she promises to return in due time.

The hydra slain by Heracles, still existing in the Underworld as a bone version of itself. It is the boss of Asphodel.

%% No citation * TimeMaster: As the Titan of Time. Hades himself points this out.

[[folder: Selene]]

[[folder: Dora]]

A Titaness and the Goddess of the Moon.

* VerbalBackpedaling: After accidentally revealing to both the audience and Zagreus himself through his narration that [[spoiler:Nyx is not Zagreus's birth mother, Persephone is,]] the narrator quickly offers up a poor replacement paragraph that mentions Zagreus ''totally'' discovered that on his own by pure chance.

Achilles is a demi-god hero known for his role in the Trojan War. He is famed for his strength in battle and his near-invulnerability. After his death on the battlefield, his shade descended to the Underworld, where he was eventually hired by Hades to train a young Zagreus in battle and military discipline. Since he was hired, Achilles has made an effort to be a source of support and encouragement for Zagreus in the face of Hades's often harsh treatment.

A severed Gorgon's head, now working as the House of Hades's long-suffering maid. She has a painfully obvious crush on Zagreus, but can never express her feelings as a result of her severe social anxiety, and more importantly, her never-ending list of things that must be cleaned.

The former king of Corinth, Sisyphus twice cheated death before his misdeeds caught up with him. Sent to Tartarus, Sisyphus was sentenced to forever roll a boulder up a mountain, only for the boulder to inevitably slip from his grasp and roll down to the bottom again. Normally forced into his routine by the whips of the Furies, Zagreus's recent escape attempts have left them with little time to keep watch and allowed Sisyphus the occasional rest, during which he can occasionally be met by Zagreus during runs through Tartarus. He's also become attached to his boulder, which he's nicknamed Bouldy.

Hero-King and mythical founder of Athens, who performed many mighty deeds in life including slaying the feared Minotaur of Crete. As Champion of Elysium, Hades commands Theseus to stop Zagreus's ascent from the Underworld.

The Minotaur of Crete himself. An intelligent and powerful warrior in his own right, Asterius lingered in the shadows of the Underworld after death until his slayer, Theseus, took pity on him and gave him a place in the WarriorHeaven of Elysium. He's now become [[DefeatMeansFriendship close friends]] with the former king.

The three-headed guardian of the Underworld, who patrols the banks of the Styx to prevent anyone outside from entering or anyone inside from leaving. Despite his fearsome reputation he's mellowed somewhat with age and has been recalled to the House of Hades, where he now serves more as a house pet than anything.

Daughter of Demeter, former wife of Hades and Zagreus's birth mother, though he has never met her. Persephone left her queendom in the Underworld for good shortly after Zagreus's birth and vanished entirely. When Zagreus learns of her existence, and Hades refuses to tell him anything about her, this proves his final impetus for him to run away to try and meet her.

A disembodied voice that narrates the Prince's and later the Princess's (mis)adventures and some of the sights they see. Zagreus and Melinoë are able to hear his voice.

The legendary weaver cursed by Athena into the form of a spider. Melinoë can randomly encounter her in the first area and equip special garments with passive boosts. Their interactions indicate they've met before and are on good terms.

[[folder: Odysseus]]

A Greek hero most famous for his contribution to the Trojan War and his subsequent quest to return home.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Skelly" isn't their real name and, [[{{Troll}} as expected of his character]], he makes a big joke out of hinting what it is. [[spoiler:Dialogue with Asterius hints that the story about being a Cretean naval commander named Schelemeus may not have been ''entirely'' false.]] [[spoiler:Hades II has since then confirmed that this is in fact his true backstory, as he has shed his nickname and reclaimed his true identity in order to help Melinoe.]]

* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: In ''Hades II'', he returns but now under his true name of Schelemeus and doning medals, a cape and a beard. While still the training dummy, he is now revered by those in Erebus and even Melinoe has a great deal of respect for him and his wisdom. He also has downplayed his former goofiness, still retaining some of his humor but taking his role as a trainer far more seriously, for obvious reasons.]]
