📖 Biography
Hades is the scheming Lord of the Underworld and the main villain of Disney's Hercules. Determined to overthrow his brother Zeus and rule Mount Olympus, he relies on manipulation, bargains, and elaborate plans rather than brute force alone. His discovery that Hercules could prevent his rise to power leads him to orchestrate a long campaign against the young hero, eventually unleashing the Titans in an attempt to seize Olympus. Hades' sarcastic humor, explosive temper, and fast-talking personality have made him one of Disney's most distinctive villains.
