Hades had some Berserk Buttons, mainly being crossed, someone cheating death, trying to escape his realm, or someone stealing a soul from his realm. His wrath was fierce for those who tried.

Hades, though often presented as evil by idiots these days, was actually more like Lawful Neutral, and a quite passive person. When it comes to his job, it's more like a Jailor and Warden. Exactly, but you'd never consider Hades to be of comprable standing to Posiedon and Aues based on lot of modern depictions. Quite a few leave out the fact that he helped defeat the Titans. Warden is a pretty good analogy.

For the most part he just stayed in the underworld doing his job.
