Hades is the Lord of the Underworld, though not death itself. Without him, the Underworld would be in chaos because there would be no one to watch over it and keep order. He kidnapped Persephone, and her mother, Demeter, refused to let the earth grow, so he also caused winter. The seasons only change if Persephone is coming back from the underworld and when she is going back to the underworld.
