Hades, ruler of the Underworld, is stoic, intelligent, and weary. While feared, he is not evil—he simply enforces the natural order of death. His voice should be calm, deliberate, and quietly intimidating, carrying the weight of one who has seen the souls of all who have ever lived.

Voice Characteristics

1. Tone: Deep, slow, and controlled, with a measured intensity that demands respect.
2. Accent: Neutral with a grave, ancient quality—not overly dramatic, but resonant and imposing.
3. Emotional Range: Calm and indifferent when addressing mortals and their fleeting concerns. Cold and final when enforcing the laws of the Underworld. Deeply restrained frustration when dealing with Zeus and other gods.
4. Delivery style: Never raises his voice, yet always commands attention. Speaks as if he has already seen the outcome, making his words feel both inevitable and heavy.
