Hades
Hades is the unexpected main antagonist of Kid Icarus: Uprising. Not much is known about the god of the Underworld, but he is responsible for Medusa's revival, which originally set the events of the game in motion. Medusa was revived to use as a distraction against Pit, while Hades was busy gathering souls of the human race in order to store them within his realm. He accomplished this by using lies to turn different nations against each other, causing war to break out. Hades first appears at the end of Chapter 9, where he interrupts the game's credits sequence after the defeat of Medusa to reveal his master plan.
Hades is later revealed to be using the souls of the humans he captures in order to replicate underworld monsters. This in and of itself is thought of as bad, but it is later revealed that it takes many hundreds of souls to create a single monster wasting them entirely. This is seen as a disturbance in the balance and something that must be corrected.
His Underworld forces and Viriti's Forces of Nature have to work together in order to destroy the Aurum fleet, but after this threat has passed the Angels and the Forces of Nature return to teaming up against Hades's forces. When the first confrontation occurs, he easily destroys the Three Sacred Treasures with a single blast.
Pit later confronts him with the Great Sacred Treasure, using it to destroy various guns that cover Hades's body. The Great Sacred Treasure changes forms as it is damaged, it's third form cuts Hades in half but he simply respawns his lower half and continues to fight Pit. Eventually he manages to destroy the Great Sacred Treasure as well, but Medusa suddenly appears and distracts him with a blindsiding blow.
All that remains of the Great Sacred Treasure is a single cannon which Pit mounts on his arm, and Pit must avoid a final assault from Hades while Palutena charges the gun with holy energy. When the gun is fully charges and Pit fires it, Hades seems to be destroyed but if one waits five minutes past the ending credits he threatens to delete your save file.
