Hercules is a man on a mission; a mission to prove himself innocent and worthy of his spot on Mount Olympus. He is a rather upbeat individual, putting up a happy and naive façade to cope with his heavy lingering guilt of accidentally murdering his mortal wife, Pandora. Hercules has made a vow to protect humans, nonpowered and powered, at all costs; he'll do whatever it takes to save humanity from harms way.

Hercules longs to right his wrongdoings, even if all of the other gods look down on him. His driving motivation to achieve his goals is to avenge his wife, bring down Hades, and prove his father wrong.

Overall, Hercules is a fun and jolly soul, able to have a good laugh but also able to tone it down to a serious level when lives are in danger. Even so, his happy persona never fades to show the humans that he's just like them and trustworthy.
