Thanatos is the god of death, depicted as a young grey man with light blue eyes; he is also the son of the titan Nyx, brother of Hypnos, and uncle to Morpheus. Thanatos is insecure in his position as one of Hades' soul collectors due to his low productivity. He frequently hung out with Minthe and Thetis before realizing how toxic they were and becoming more and more miserable with their antics. After starting to get close to Daphne, he admits to the both of them he has no desire to associate with them anymore, and eventually begins to date Daphne. It's revealed he views Hades as a father-figure, having been abandoned by his mother and sent to work for and be taken care of by Hades as a child.
