Orpheus
Title	Court Musician
Faction	N/A
Voice Actor	Michael Ailshie, Darren Korb

Orpheus is an NPC in Hades. Orpheus is a legendary musician but during his life, he endured the tragic loss of his wife and inspiration, Eurydice. In his grief, he journeyed to the Underworld, seeking to plead for her resurrection. Although his efforts proved futile, his melodies captivated even Hades himself, leading him to become his personal court musician. However, the absence of his beloved muse has left him bereft of the will to sing, though there remains a possibility of him being persuaded to get back to his craft.

I understand you've journeyed well beyond the pits of Tartarus, my friend? Another most heroic feat of yours, and truth be told I find it quite inspiring.

Where to Find Orpheus in Hades

About Orpheus in Hades

Orpheus is known for his melancholic melodies, but he still possesses kindness, empathy, and a friendly demeanor, often lending a sympathetic ear to Zagreus. Once brimming with life and a profound love for music, Orpheus underwent a profound transformation following his tragic loss, descending into a state of profound devastation and losing all motivation to sing. Consequently, his once vibrant personality became tinged with bitterness and darkness. Despite occasionally playing and singing, his music now carries the weight of personal lamentation, reflecting his ongoing sadness and depression.
