This is Hades. He was the third brother among the Olympians, who drew for his share the underworld and the rule over the dead. he was called Pluto, the God of Wealth, of the precious metals hidden in the earth.
He had a far-framed cap or helmet which made whoever wore it invisible. it was rare that he left his dark realm to visit Olympus or the earth, nor was he urged to do so. he was unpitying, inexorable, but just; a terrible , not an evil god.
His wife was Persephone whom he carried away from earth and made Queen of the Lower World. He was the King of the Dead---not Death himself.
