First Appearance: KINGDOM HEARTS (2002)
Origin: Hercules (1997)
When Sora first steps into the world of Olympus Coliseum, he is immediately enthralled about joining the games and becoming a hero. Phil, however, thinks differently when he noticed that Sora cannot even push a boulder from one side of the Lobby to the other. So instead of allowing Sora to enter the games he allows him to enter training. When Sora passes the training Phil still refuses to let Sora and company enter the games, saying they aren't ready. Sora then disgruntledly leaves.
Before leaving the world Sora encounters Hades who offers him preliminary passes to the games, at which Sora graciously accepts.
Sora then flies through the games until his penultimate match, with Cloud, who had previously made a deal to kill Hercules in return for the location of his nemesis Sephiroth. Instead, Cloud ends up either defeated, or refuses to deliver the final blow to Sora, at which time Hades releases the guardian of the Underworld; Cerberus. Cerberus attacks Cloud and knocks him unconscious, fortunately, Hercules steps in and safes Cloud from a fatal attack. With Hercules distracting Cerberus; Sora, Donald, and Goofy are granted a free escape.
Eventually Sora decides to go help Hercules and ends up taking on Cerberus. Now that Cerberus' attention is directed to Sora and company, Hercules takes the still unconscious Cloud to a safe place. Once Sora and company defeat Cerberus they're declared 'Junior Heroes' by Phil - through much convincing by Hercules.
After Sora leaves the world, Hades is then confronted by the Disney villain ringleader; Maleficent. She warns Hades not to dabble too deeply into the darkness or else he may be lost to it. Hades merely shrugs off the warning with apathy. Once Maleficent meets her demise at the hands of Sora, Hades takes drastic action and sets up the Hades Cup to get rid of Sora and Hercules. When Sora defeats Hades, Hades gets tossed into a cage and locked away. But Hades being a god allows him to escape, and later, summon four titans to wreak havoc on Olympus Coliseum while he runs off into hiding.
