He likes to wear a white suit and comes off as powerful and a charm to get others to like him very charismatic. He can swoon almost any woman and the life he shows people are deceiving.

In Greek mythology, Hades, the god of the underworld, had three children. Their names were Macaria, Melinoe, and Zagreus. Macaria was the goddess of blessed death, Melinoe was a chthonic nymph associated with ghosts, and Zagreus was a god sometimes equated with Dionysus.
Yes, Hades has a wife named Persephone (pronounced Per-SE-foh-nee), daughter of Demeter (goddess of the harvest, one of the 12 olympians) was the goddess of Springtime. She would dance through the meadows, and was very pretty. Meanwhile, Hades was watching her from underground, watching her play and dance amongst the flowers. One day, he decided that she must come live with him. A large hole opened in the ground, and Persephone was swallowed into the ground. Hades welcomed her into his realm, but she hated not being amongst spring and flowers.
Above land, Demeter was sick with worry. The plants died, and the crops failed.
Persephone begged to go above ground, and finally Hades agreed. But first, he offered her a pomegranate. She took it, not thinking, and ate 6 seeds. But then, it was too late. If you eat food in the Underworld, you must stay there.
Zeus was angry, naturally, and wanted Persephone to come back above. But Hades showed the proof of her having eaten pomegranate seeds. Finally, there was a compromise. For six months of the year, one for each seed, Persephone would stay with Hades. Then she would go above ground.
This is the ancient greeks' explanation for the seasons. When Persephone is underground, Demeter is sad, and the crops die, and flowers wither. In Spring, when Persephone comes back, everything is well.
