Information on Hades?

He is from the underworld, and rarely goes to Mt. Olympus.
Addition: He is the son of Cronus and Rhea, the brother of Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Hestia and Demeter.
Hades was the ruler of Tartarus, the underworld. Though Hades is the God of the Dead, he is not the god of death. Hades eventually became known (incorrectly) as a name for the underworld itself.

Hades is fierce and jealous of his property. He rarely visits the upper land, and thus, has little knowledge of the affairs of the other Gods.

It was Zeus, Poseiden and Hades, three brothers, who divided the planet into thirds. Zeus took control of the air, Poseiden the sea, and Tartarus was left to Hades. They could not claim the earth itself, as that was the Goddess Mother Earth (the first to emerge from Chaos and the mother of Uranus).
Hades likes donuts Hades kidnapped Persephone (previously named Core), daughter of Zeus and Demeter, to be his wife. Demeter was distraught and refused to fulfill her duties as Goddess of Argiculture and Plantlife until her daughter was returned to her. Demeter refused to let any trees bear fruit or any other form of plant life to grow, so Zeus allowed Demeter to take Core back before the human race became extinct. His condition: Core could return so long as she hadn't taken part of any of the food of the dead. She had, however, eaten seven pomagranate seeds from Tartarus. Thus, Persephone must stay in Tartarus for three months out of every year.

a two pronged staff and a helm of invisibility given to him by the cyclops to help end the war between the Olympians and the Titans.

Answer

Hades did not have any Children
His domain was the world of the dead. His power logically was to judge the spirits into which spirit was good or evil to destine them to glory (Elysium Meadows which is where the good and heroic rest, like a paradise) or torment (Tartarus which is where the evil and malevolent where tormented for eternity, like hell).
Hades was the god of the dead. He ruled the underworld
Theres also his helm of darkness. and the fact that he controled all monsters of the underworld
Hades, in Greek mythology, was the ruler of the dead and god of the underworld. The underworld was where all the dead people go. THE UNDERWORLD WAS NOT HELL (people get hell confused with the underworld). It was were they were judged to move on to the place of good people, the place of so-so people, or the place of bad people. Hades' roman name was Pluto.
-------He is also the god of riches and the brother of Zeus and Poseidon.
His wife is his niece (daughter of Zeus) and he kidnapped her to marry him. (see the Persephone myth).
