“	Kratos, so glad you could carve out some time for us. You know we need it. I sense some bad blood between us, Kratos. Oh, all the memories. They're overwhelming, really. Let's see... How many sins have you committed against me? Oh, that's right, you murdered my niece Athena. And what else, what else? Ah, and you killed my brother, Poseidon. And, I have not forgotten that it was you who butchered my beautiful Queen! I will see you suffer as I have suffered. Your soul is Mine.	„

“	Now, it falls to me to collect payment for the pain you have wrought.	„

Trivia[]

Both in real mythology and the God of War franchise, Hades was the god of the underworld and ruler of the dead, but not the god of death itself. This title belonged to the being Thanatos.

By technicality, Hades is the oldest of the three brothers and second-oldest of the first six Olympians; their ages are reversed when Cronos regurgitates them.

Hades appears as a stage hazard in the Hades stage in Playstation All-Stars: Battle Royale.
