Hades

Hades was the third brother of Zeus and Poseidon. While Zeus got the sky, Poseidon got the ocean and the water, Hades had to take the last and worst one. Hades became the ruler of the Underworld, god of the dead and death. Also he was the god of the hidden wealth that resides under the earth. Hades was known as a very greedy and cruel god. He was always trying to increase his the dead and his followers. But he was the god of wealth due to all the precious metals under the earth. Such as gold, diamonds, and other gems and jewels. Hades would reside in the underworld and would hardly ever leave. Hades married Persephone (she was the daughter of Demeter), which whom Hades had abducted. After Demeter learned that her daughter was abducted she went into a tantrum which she would change the weather and that created the season. But Hades had to let Persephone return but she had to return to him every year.
