Players have been inquiring about the main character, antagonist, and notable names in Hades 2 since it entered Early Access on May 6. Here’s what we know about the Hades 2 characters so far.

Hades entered early access on May 6 after being in a highly exclusive technical test for almost three weeks. Unlike technical tests, the PC’s early access will have more content, and according to critics, it almost feels like a complete game. From the cut-throat combat mechanics to the storyline, everything in Hades 2 has been receiving positive reviews.

If you’re fascinated by Hades 2’s storyline and characters, read on for an introduction to the main characters and their roles.

Who is Chronos in Hades 2?

Hades 2

Chronos is the father of the original game’s antagonist, Hades. He’s the Titan of Time and Hades 2’s primary antagonist. 

In Hades 2, Chronos is portrayed as a power-hungry Titan who’s still furious over his children for taking over his throne. To reverse the damage, Chronos wants to turn back the time to when he was in power. Since he has escaped imprisonment in the depths of the Underworld, it’s now up to the player to defeat him. 

Who is the main character in Hades 2?

Melinoe is Zagreus’ sister, and she’s more determined to put an end to the Titan of Time than her brother. She’s the main protagonist of Hades 2, which means players will step into her shoes in the Underworld. 

The main protagonist of Hades 2 is the daughter of Persephone and Zeus. Melinoe has been trained by Hecate, the goddess of witchcraft and crossroads in Greek Mythology, to be a titan slayer in order to beat Chronos, who’s taken control of the Underworld. 

Here are some other notable characters in Hades 2: 

  • Scylla: Scylla is a sea monster who appears in Hades II as the boss encounter of Oceanus
  • Hecate: Hecate is Melinoe’s mentor
  • Hestia: Goddess of flame and ear, Hestia is one of Melinoe’s allies who offers her boons in her fight against Chronos
  • Eris: Eris is a child of Nyx who wants to stop Melinoë from war with Chronos
