Hades is often an antagonist, or foil, for the main character in many stories, this can lead to him being portrayed as evil or malevolent and sometimes taking on the traits of the Christian devil. Although, some narratives will provide a more balanced and sympathetic look at the character, or stick closer to his Greek origin myths.
