Hades may not be the most beloved god in ancient Greek mythology, but he’s surely an important one. Gods like Zeus, Athena, and Poseidon know that the God of the Underworld leads a deadly life, but Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell) is about to enter Hades’ frightening realm—he has to, in order to complete his quest to find a missing lightning bolt.
(Warning: Spoilers ahead for Percy Jackson and the Olympians Episode 7.)
In Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Hades is played by actor Jay Duplass, known for roles on Industry and Transparent. Hades might not be the devil, but he does sport a devilishly handsome silk suit with emerald green swirls embedded in the fabric. As Hades, Duplass is sarcastic, lonely, and evil—well, somewhat. Surprisingly, the God of the Underworld is not the main villain of this story.
