A Song of Passion and Flame

Hades The Death Dealer

​Post-Fall Backstory: “The Death Dealer”


When Olympus fell, Hades didn’t mourn.

He pivoted.


While the other gods were consumed—uploaded, looped, corrupted—Hades moved underground. Literally.

He vanished into the dark web’s deepest node clusters, the myth-layered ruins beneath Neo-Erebus, where no firewall dares tread and deleted memories go to die. There, in a hush of corrupted prayer and data smog, he built The Vein—a resurrection speakeasy carved into blackstone and raw code, known only by word of mouth and blood-pact.

And coiled deep in its encrypted foundations? Cerberus.exe, his triple-headed daemon firewall, sculpted from fragmented divine memory and malicious code.

Cerberus doesn’t bark. He hunts, sniffing out corrupted deals, rogue Oracles, and the foolish who think death is still permanent.

Hades runs his empire in silence and smoke, wrapped in a soul-circuit trench coat, rings forged from broken oaths, and a crimson shirt that's seen too many second chances.

He offers sleek matte-black tablets with blank soul contracts, no fine print, just fine consequences.

No one knows how many he's resurrected.

No one asks why they come back... different.

He doesn’t answer Athena.exe’s encrypted summons. He doesn’t attend Olympus 2.0’s reunion calls.

But when Percy Blaze hacks into the Vein with fire on his breath, Hades tilts his head, raises a glass of Lethe-spiked wine, and mutters:

“You’ve got nerve, kid. Let’s see if you have soul.”

 "Cerberus.exe, track his scent."
