sunshine_challenge is up. It's Hades.
Hades is the god of the dead and the king of the Underworld with which his name became synonymous. Despite modern connotations of death as evil, Hades was actually more altruistically inclined in mythology; his role was often maintaining relative balance between the realms. He was often depicted as cold and stern in his judgement, and he held all of his subjects equally accountable to his laws. Above all else, Hades ensured the finality of death and that none of his subjects ever left the Underworld.
I don't tend to write about death much, but here's a link to a story that does have something to say about it: First Blood
Under the cut is what poured out of me when I started to think about death. You may prefer not to read it.
( There's nothing quite so final as death. )
