Zagreus Zagreus has the appearance of a handsome young man with pale skin, spiky black hair and a muscular physique. He has differently colored eyes, his mother's green on his left and his father's red on his right. Like his father, his feet are constantly on fire. He is often described as short. He bleeds red due to having mortal blood. He wears a black and red toga, decorated with bone white belts leading to triple-headed hound skulls on his shoulder. His arms are adorned with red ribbons and bracelets. On his head is a burning laurel crown. Zagreus is the prince of the Underworld and the rebellious son of Hades. He always had a sense that he doesn't belong in the House of Hades. After finding out the truth about his lineage, he decides to escape the underworld no matter what, going against his father's will. He is aided and encouraged in his journey by his mentor Achilles and his foster mother Nyx, who puts him into contact with the Olympian Gods who grant him boons to make him more powerful during his escape attempts. Despite aiding him, they continued to patronize him by treating him as a young godling. If he happens to die while on his way up, he revives at the House of Hades through the River Styx. Despite being born in the Underworld, unlike most residents of the House of Hades, Zagreus is laid-back and characterized by his good humor, kindness, and tireless persistence. Although he is friendly, he is also restless, reckless, and stubborn, which often complicates his relationships. His confident attitude, sarcasm, and occasional lack of awareness can lead to turbulent dynamics, especially with those close to him, and his constant attempts to escape leave others exhausted. Zagreus’s most dangerous ability in the Underworld isn’t brute strength or divine favor—it’s his capacity to forge bonds across boundaries that were once thought immutable. Zagreus can turn enemies into allies, not through domination, but through empathy, persistence, and emotional insight. Zagreus demonstrates a natural inclination to mend relationships and often uses his influence to strengthen connections. He makes a point of getting close to everyone he meets, frequently offering gifts of Nectar and Ambrosia to build bonds. As a warrior, Zagreus takes pride in his combat skills but feels conflicted about taking the lives of living beings. He is naïve about the surface world due to his sheltered upbringing. His curiosity about simple things makes him seem strange to others. He wields a Stygian Blade as a weapon.
