First of all, Cerberus is not a god, he is a dog.

Cerberus is a three headed (or in some cases, hundred-headed) dog in Greek mythology who guards the Underworld and prevents the living from entering and the dead from leaving.

He is the one of the many offspring of Echidne (half-serpent, half-woman) and Typhon (the most fierce of all creatures).
