Her
The human embodiment of suffering is released to the world. For Hades has no sickness. He is the sickness.
He suffers, though, not because he seeks pain, but because it finds him and he inflicts it. He is not careless; he longs to give affection and find a connection. But all he finds is the deprivation of his deepest desires. Fulfillment evades him, arrests him, and carries him away back to the thick-walled prison in which he came.
Yes, he kills, but there is no nihilism. Yes, he climbs, but there is no careerism. Join him on the quest through relationships, the corporate ladder, and the indignities of wandering and losing opportunities for fleeting beauty.
And indeed, he proves that it is braver to suffer than to die. Hades is the bravest of them all.
