Personality
Hades is somewhat more mellow than his original version with him being much more relaxed and level headed. In spite of this however he remains a cold and distant figure who cares quite little for many people and is motivated by purely blind revenge against the heroes residing in Auradon.

Appearance
Hades appears much more humanoid than his original version with his hair being simply varying shades of blue in colour as opposed to literal flames, his skin being a more ordinary fair skinned tone than grayish blue and his clothing being more modern albeit dirty and tattered, with him adopting somewhat of a punk persona in his time on the Isle.

Trivia

 * Hades outfit in Descendants 3 is a possible reference to another villain in the series, Zevon with his blueish colour scheme and black leather trench coat being somewhat reminiscent of Zevon's outfit and signature colour of teal.
