hades

The Lord of the Underworld and brother of Zeus in Greek mythology. Commonly used as an alternative word for "Hell," but the Pit of Tartarus and the Erytrian Fields were the regions of Hell and Hades was the god who ruled over the Pit.

Hades was not a cruel god. He was merely doing his job. He did not kill, only governed the dead.
