Of course he's well-mannered and somewhat nice. One of his most recurring traits is that he uses his charisma to hide his true nature, usually in order to avoid suspicion or get people to do what he wants. He pretends to be nice to his bother and the other gods while plotting to overthrow them; he pretends to be nice to Hercules during their first meeting in an effort to get him out of the way; and there's quite a few instances from the animated series, Kingdom Hearts games, etc where he uses the same kind of methods to help along with his plans. Basically, if he's routinely shown pretending to be good-natured and tricking people into Faustian bargains more dominantly than he is actually being nice, he's faux affable, not the other way around (not that he's normally that affable anyways, given how abusive and wrathful he normally is towards those around him).
