About Thanatos in Hades

Thanatos is driven by a commitment to excellence and values maintaining an impeccable track record. Despite his dedication to duty, he occasionally operates in the shadows, violating his allegiance to the House of Hades by extending assistance to Zagreus in his quest for escape. As the embodiment of death, Thanatos embodies the natural and gentle end to mortal life, facilitating the peaceful transition of souls to their final destination. He perceives death as a compassionate companion entrusted with guiding souls to the culmination of their journey and treats it solely as a facet of his professional responsibilities. Thanatos is widely regarded as a relentless workaholic and a stickler for perfection in the Underworld. He is often in a sour mood, even his apologies tend to be blunt and unsparing. However, Zagreus contends that beneath his brusque demeanor, Thanatos can reveal a responsive, respectful, and occasionally friendly when he chooses.
