Aside from height, Zagreus has heterochromia, with one red eye inherited from Hades and one green eye inherited from Persephone.Īnother striking characteristic is his perpetually burning feet, leaving smoldering trails and embers behind him, scorch marks scarring the ground whenever you dash. The only character definitively small in stature than Zagreus is Dusa. He’s smaller than most of the other characters in the game, including Persephone. While it can be challenging to determine height in the game considering the perspective you play at, Zagreus is undoubtedly a short king. Standing next to Hades, it’s easy to say that Zagreus is very short, but it is true. When possible, those throughout the Underworld attempt to offer Zagreus aid, namely Charon, Sisyphus, Eurydice, and Patroclus. The Olympians offer their boons to him when they can, their efforts aided and abetted by Hermes. Even when Persephone herself tells him to not come back, Zagreus persists.Īlong the way, Zagreus is aided by his caretaker Nyx and his mentor Achilles. No matter how many deaths it takes, Zagreus is determined to convince his mother to return home, at least for a little bit. He is, in fact, the son of Persephone, a Goddess who fled the Underworld shortly after his birth.ĭetermined to find his birth mother, Zagreus escapes the Underworld to the outside, a world he had never encountered beyond stories. We learn through a flashback that Zagreus is not Nyx’s son, as he so believed. Zagreus was born the son of Hades and raised by Nyx.
He is generally respectful unless faced with his father. He is often self-deprecating and humble but keeps a jovial nature when interacting with other Hades characters. Personality: Zagreus is locked and loaded with sarcasm and a sharp wit.First Meeting: You first meet Zagreus when he is plummeting out of his balcony window for the first escape attempt.Starting Weapon: Stygius, the Blade of the Underworld.Difficulty: Varies depending on skill level easier when playing on God Mode.
Character Type: Protagonist and the only playable character.Zagreus is the perfect character for his environment, especially when the game hinges on you being motivated to see his goals through until the very end. He is a highly loveable character with motivations most people can easily connect with. As I continued to play through the game, I gradually fell in love with the character and his motivations, determined to see the game through to the end. My first impression of Zagreus was that he was snarky and quick-witted, who had a minor fear of his father’s wrath but not enough self-preservation instincts to listen to that fear.
