* AffablyEvil: If you still consider Hades a villain at this point (since his transition to becoming the classical myth Hades isn't really complete yet), he's now this at his worst compared to his FauxAffablyEvil nature in the film.

* AffablyEvil: If you still consider Hades a villain at this point (since his transition to becoming the classical myth Hades isn't really complete yet), he's now this at his worst compared to his FauxAffablyEvil nature in the film. He only really slips into being FauxAffablyEvil when Theseus and Perithious try to steal his wife away from him, and his reasons for being angry at them are pretty justified.


Added DiffLines:

* AntiHero: Thanks to Persephone, Hades is starting to become this. In this particular story, he's probably lands somewhere along the lines of UnscrupulousHero.

** Exemplified best in [[spoiler: the epilogue, when Hercules comes down to the Underworld to retrieve Theseus. Considering how antagonistic their relationship was by the end of the film, Hades' interaction with Hercules ends up being relatively tame and polite, with the god even giving Herc a send-off that's downright cordial, all things considered. Of course, his wife (a) being there and (b) bringing out the better parts of his character probably helped.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Averted with Zeus. The Zeus of the Hercules film was [[EverybodyLovesZeus a pretty swell guy]], while the original Zeus of Greek Mythology...wasn't. However, while it's pretty clear that Hades loathes his brother and Zeus' flaws and/or mistakes are much more prominent than before, the fic overall portrays him as someone who is [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure genuinely trying to resolve the issues regarding Hades, Persephone, and Demeter as best as he can]].

* HeelFaceTurn: Downplayed, at least for now. Hades still has some villainous tendencies and never really repented for unleashing the Titans on Mount Olympus, but Persephone's introduction into his life is clearly meant to signal his transformation into a better person.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even when he was still fully evil, the one crime Hades never committed was abduction (and quite possibly rape) of a goddess. A stark contrast to Zeus and Poseidon, if you know your mythology background...

* RevengeBeforeReason: Subverted regarding [[spoiler:Hades' treatment of Theseus and Pierithious. Similarly to the original myth, Hades allows Hercules to take back Theseus, who was really only there out of loyalty to his friend and was never really interested in ''liberating'' Persephone, but refuses to let him save Pierithious, who came up with the idea in the first place. The story actually notes that Hades isn't all that unreasonable in this regard, and Hercules grudgingly has to agree with his uncle.]]
