There were problems with this main character: as Theseus, he looked too “typical” and impersonal. And when they began to add special features to him, he ceased to be perceived as the hero of a famous myth. And then the creative director Greg Kasavin proposed another protagonist: the son of Hades, who is trying to escape from his father’s kingdom.
As Kasavin noted, we do not know much about the world of Hades, the ancient Greeks seemed to be afraid to talk about it in detail. He suggested: what if we just don’t know something, for example, that Hades has a son? And the story, presented from a different angle, turned out to be much more interesting and promising.
As for Theseus, they made him a purposeful but self-righteous boss who does not listen to anyone. Not the most pleasant personality traits fully correspond to the ancient myth: he abandons Ariadne, who saved him, and because of his negligence, his father dies. However, the developers managed to bring something genuine and sincere into the image: friendship with the Minotaur-Asterius.
