About[]

Thanatos, the God of Death, serves whoever wears Hades's Helmet of Darkness, thus he obeys the ruler of the The Underworld. He appears as a mild-mannered and soft-spoken middle aged man, but his true form is a skeletal winged creature who is able to appear from shadows and disappate into the air. When Cronus seizes control The Underworld, he summons Thanatos to kill The Chosen Ones. The God of Death successfully kidnaps Archie, forcing the heroes to enter the Underworld to rescue their friend as well as Hades and Persephone.

He is later confronted by the heroes when Sisyphus escapes from the Underworld and agrees to be chained temporarily until Theresa is rescued so that she cannot die until Sisyphus is recaptured.

Mythology[]

Thanatos is the son of Nyx (Night) and Erebos (Darkness), and twin brother of Hypnos (Sleep). He is also related to Charon, among others.

At one point, he was tricked by Sisyphus. The gods ordered Thanatos to kill the king of Korinth, but Sisyphus tricked the god and bound him with the chains Thanatos had brought, thus preventing everyone on Earth from dying. This brought the attention of Ares, as no one on his battlefields was dying. The god of war broke into Sisyphus's home and freed Thanatos. Sisyphus tricked his way out of the Underworld, but Thanatos refused to recapture him, allowing Sisyphus to live out his life until dying of old age, where he was brought before Hades and Persephone and consigned to roll a boulder uphill for eternity.
