Zagreus Melinoe Megaera

Which Hades Character Are You?

About Hades

Hades is Supergiant Games's roguelike, originally released in early access in 2018 and launched 1.0 in September 2020, and it remains the studio's most beloved title. You play as Zagreus, immortal son of the Greek god of the dead, repeatedly trying to escape the Underworld and reach the surface to find the mother he was never told about. Each run is a fresh dungeon crawl through Tartarus, Asphodel, Elysium, and the Temple of Styx, and each death sends you back to the House of Hades, where the writing actually advances. Boons from your Olympian relatives, weapon aspects, mirror upgrades, and keepsakes from the cast give every escape attempt a different shape. The game's central trick is that dying is the story, not the failure state.

Hades II launched out of early access in 2025, swapping Zagreus for his sister Melinoe, a witch raised in secret to assassinate Chronos, the Titan of Time. The sequel kept everything that worked, the voice acting, the relationship-driven progression, the absurdly tight combat feel, and added a second region map, a new magic system, and a fresh cast of Olympians and underworld figures. Together the two games have probably done more to revive popular interest in Greek mythology than any other piece of media this decade. The roster includes gods you grew up reading about and a few deeper cuts (Melinoe, Hecate, Nemesis) that send people straight to Wikipedia, which is exactly the kind of fandom energy a personality quiz lives on.

The Hades cast is unusually specific in a way that makes the quiz hit. Zagreus is restless rebellion against the family business. Melinoe is duty refined into a weapon, with grief underneath. Megaera is professionalism that won't apologize for caring. Dionysus is the friend who insists joy is a survival strategy. Thanatos is the quiet competence that everyone else is secretly intimidated by. Achilles is the mentor who has already lived through what you're going through. Picking which of those six you really are forces you to admit something about how you handle work, family, and the people you love.

Meet the Characters

Each result in this quiz is anchored in a real character from Hades — here's a quick guide to who you might end up matched with.

Zagreus

Zagreus

The Rebel Prince

Hades's son — charming, stubborn, and impossible to keep down. You die a thousand deaths to escape your father's house, flirt with everyone in the throne room on the way back, and treat every loss as a setup for the next attempt. You lead with heart and a wicked grin.

Melinoe

Melinoe

The Focused Successor

Trained from childhood for one purpose: kill Chronos. You're disciplined, witchy, and laser-locked on the mission. Where Zagreus charms his way through, you incant your way through. You don't waste words, you don't waste hexes, and you absolutely do not waste time.

Megaera

Megaera

The Intense Lover

A Fury who works for the King of the Dead — and somehow still finds time to be the most complicated person in your life. You take your duties seriously, hold grudges with surgical precision, and love hard once you decide someone has earned it. Boundaries: enforced with a whip.

Dionysus

Dionysus

The Chill Hedonist

God of wine, parties, and 'don't worry about it.' You float through chaos with a drink in hand, treat strangers like best friends, and somehow are the most emotionally generous person in any room. The vibes are immaculate. The hangover is everyone else's problem.

Thanatos

Thanatos

The Brooding Stoic

Death incarnate, and yet — surprisingly soft once you get past the scythe. You take your work seriously because someone has to, you're quietly devoted to the people who matter, and you'd never say it out loud but you do show up when it counts. Always.

Achilles

Achilles

The Loyal Mentor

The greatest warrior of the age, now patient instructor and confidant. You've seen enough war to know when to swing and when to listen. You give the advice you wish you'd had at twenty, you protect the people you love fiercely, and your loyalty is the deepest thing about you.

How This Quiz Works

Every question presents you with options that explore different sides of the cast. As you answer, your match builds gradually toward the character you most resemble.

At the end, the character you most closely match becomes your result. The match percentage reflects how strongly your answers leaned toward that character versus the runners-up. A high match means your personality clearly fit one archetype; a closer call means you're a blend, which is just as common.

We don't ask for your email, sign-up, or any personal info to see your result. Take the quiz, get your character, share it if you want, and that's it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to have played both Hades I and Hades II?

No. Four of the six characters (Zagreus, Megaera, Dionysus, Thanatos, Achilles) come straight from the first game, and Melinoe is introduced in the very first hour of Hades II. If you've finished a single run of either game you'll recognize everyone in the results.

Why these six characters and not Hades, Persephone, or one of the Olympians?

We picked the playable protagonists plus the four characters with the deepest written relationships across both games. The Olympian gods appear as boon-givers but don't get the long-form character development that makes for a good quiz match. A gods-of-Olympus edition is on the maybe list.

Is this gameplay-spoiler-safe?

Yes. The questions are about temperament, not plot. We don't reference any of the late-game reveals from either Hades I or Hades II's 1.0 ending, so you can take this after a couple of early runs without anything getting ruined.
