The Myths
Eldest brother, keeper of the dead. Hades drew the Underworld when the realms were divided and rules it justly — stern, unbribeable, and nothing like the villain the stories want him to be.
Symbols & Domains
The Helm of Darkness, the bident, and black poplar. Hades rules the dead, the deep earth, and the wealth of every mine — 'the Rich One,' they call him, carefully.
Famous Children
Children of Hades walk between worlds: rare, quiet, and carrying shadows that answer when they call.

Questions about Cabin 13
What number is the Hades cabin at Camp Half-Blood?
Hades keeps Cabin 13. Cabins one to twelve belong to the Olympians in council order, and thirteen to twenty to the minor gods, so Hades sits among the minor gods.
What is Hades the god of?
God of the Underworld and riches. Hades is also one of the Big Three — the brothers who divided the sky, the sea and the Underworld between them, and whose children are rare and unusually powerful.
How rare is it to be claimed by Hades?
Uncommon. Across the claiming trial, Hades comes up for roughly one camper in 21 when the questions are answered at random. Real answers are not random, so treat that as the shape of the trial rather than a prediction.
