What was Hades' special talent?
I am tempted to say that Hades special talent was stealth. Prior to the Titanomancy he was given the Helm of Darkness, a helmet that rendered him invisible. Using this he snuck over to the Titan side the night before the day of battle and destroyed all of their battle weapons.
Also I am inclined to say that Hades, although stern, was also just. He did kidnap Persephone to be his wife but only after securing Zeus's permission -- something that neither Zeus nor Poseidon did in their romantic endeavors. And after the 'traumatic event' Hades did negotiate a more amenable marriage settlement between Ceres (Persephone's mother) and (as far as we know) was faithful to her there afterwards (unlike Zeus and Poseidon were to their mates). Also Hades negotiated with Hercules the use of Cerberus (Hades's dog) Hercules could defeat and capture Cerberus but had to not to harm the dog and later release him.
And Hades was smart. Sisyphus decieved both Thanos and Persepone but failed to do so to Hades.

well, the story is that Persephone, goddess of spring, was the daught of Demeter, goddess of the harvest, and Zeus, god of lightening.

However, when Demeter couldn't find her daughter, she came to ask Zeus if he knew where Persephone was. When she learned what had happened, she threatened that if her daughter wasn't returned, she would prevent anything from growing. Under the threat of death for man kind, Zeus said that Persephone could return IF she hadn't eaten anything in the underworld.
