Hades/Relationships

The relationships of Hades throughout the Descendants franchise.

Relatives =

Zeus
(Brother) Zeus and Hades have a rocky relationship. Hades was granted access to the Underworld and put in charge of ruling the Underworld by Zeus. However unknown to Zeus, Hades hated ruling over the underworld and built up hatred for Zeus plotting to overthrow him.

Hercules
(Nephew) Hades is Hercules's uncle. As Hercules is the son of Zeus, Hades hates him due to him being the son of his brother who he despises. When Hercules was a baby, Hades sent Pain and Panic to turn Hercules mortal and to kill him. However Pain and Panic were unable to put all the potion inside Hercules, leaving some god blood in him. Years later, Hades discovers Hercules is not dead and was furious with Pain and Panic and used Megara as bait. After Megara started to fall for Hercules for real, she sacrificed herself to save Hercules and got crushed by a piller. Hades attempts to strike a deal with Hercules but Hercules took Megara out of the river styx and knocked Hades into the river.

Mal
(Daughter) Hades is Mal's estranged father. The first time they meet in the movies is when Hades is trying to escape the isle of the lost and attacks Mal with his ember. The second is when Mal needs Hades' ember to undo Audrey's curse. Mal at first is resentful of him because he abandoned her as a baby but Hades states that he didn't abandon her, he only left her mother. Mal and Hades debate the hardships they have suffered in life and Hades breaks into a song (Do What You Gotta Do). Throughout the song, Hades does seem to care about Mal like when he talks about her showing him the town and that his neglect made her a stronger person. Hades, in the end, does give Mal his ember, as Mal walks away he says to himself "that's my girl". On their way out Celia reveals that Hades constantly asks about her. Mal is quite aware that even though Hades left her as a baby(in the book he stays with her until 3rd grade escape the isle of the lost page 154)he still cares about her as she figured that Hades would save Audrey if she requested it. Hades did come through and saved Audrey when he was being walked out by the guards Mal called out to him saying "I'm going to have to miss you all over again" Mal walks up to him and kisses him on the cheek. Hades hands Mal back the ember and gives her a wink. Mal breaks into tears at being separated from her father yet again. When the barrier is taken down for good, Hades arrives and asks Mal and Ben if he is invited to their wedding. Mal happily hugs him and holds his arm. Hades gives them his blessing but when Mal isn't looking he gives Ben the I'm watching you gesture, showing his feeling of overprotectiveness for Mal. Hades lets himself be led by Mal into Auradon.

Although Hades has been absent for most of Mal's life, he appears to care more for her than Maleficent does, willing to help Audrey and apparently give up villainy to be part of her life again and Mal finally gets a parent that loves her more than being evil. Hades, unlike Maleficent, adapted to mediocrity and humble living; even making it clear he REALLY wanted to be there to raise Mal (covering his pain from being absent by claiming it made her stronger).
