User:Tarquin Hades

Tarquin Antonio Torrez Hades (b. October 8th, under Eros), is a musician, artist, actor, and dancer. He is a cultural icon better known by his stage and nickname Hades (pronounced as Haids).

Hades began his career as one of the first artists to move away from orchestral instruments. Although at the time the genre that he performed was simply called 'Experimental', it is now variously described as 'Alternative rock', 'Heavy Metal' or 'Emo'. However, his style of music is often disputed among fans due to constant change. Creating new styles and trends of music have made him popular--and controversial--as did his audacious stage performances. Hades has a versatile voice, with an almost inhuman vocal range. He has had unusually wide success encompassing most genres. To date, he is the only performer to have been included into seven music halls of fame worldwide.

After the ending of his first tour, Hades' fame was elevated further when he was signed as the lead role in large theatrical productions and dance recitals despite being illiterate. The productions were acclaimed by critics, describing Hades as an A Grade Performer. Albeit the reviews exalted Hades, he decided to return to live performances, claiming: "Music is my life, and well, with my absence it's just gone back to that old stuff. I'm sure an old guy like you would probably rather me stay back behind scripted lines, but I don't feel that's where I belong. Besides, you're daughter would prefer me singing." Throughout his career, he has set records for concert attendance, musical ratings, and charity donations. His concerts are the best-selling, and he is one of the most influential artists in the history of modern popular music.

In recent months numerous affairs have caused Hades' music career to go on hiatus.

Family
Hades was born in Tresk'ri, Northern Etheria. His father was Antonio Dimitri-Hades, a Nobleman that was executed for treachery against the throne when Hades was a child, he was later discovered to be a demon. Likewise, Hades' mother, Marietta Torrez Hades, was also a demon. While Antonio was executed in Tresk'ri, the remaining family was exiled to the Black Islands, where they now rule over Veldruk. Hades is the youngest of four brothers, one of which being a half-brother. It is believed that his brothers are all in excess of a century older than Hades. Little is known about them. Although reports haven't been confirmed, it seems that all of the Hades Family had been murdered, excluding Tarquin Hades himself.
