== Characteristics and Personality == In a constant battle against sleep, Hypnos is found sleeping more often than performing his task of accounting for the newly arrived dead to the [[House of Hades|House]] while awaiting judgment. He is the physical embodiment of sleep and is much more powerful than he appears, as he can put the entire House to sleep. Hypnos is a serious case of immortal immaturity, constantly lounging around, and finding many ways to avoid his responsibility of accounting for the dead, from doodling to sleeping. Despite being lazy he is usually quite chatty. [[Achilles]] speculates that the reason he hasn't been fired yet is that [[Hades]] finds him very funny and considers him an "unofficial court jester." Despite the dark nature of his work, Hypnos is very cheerful, and although he does not have the best professional conduct, he is always very receptive. Some dialogues suggest that Hypnos may be bored at work, "being one sad clown" feeling lonely, and wanting someone to talk to. He will greet Zagreus and happily comment and jot down notes in his report about his latest death. In sharp contrast to [[Thanatos]], who does his job masterfully, Hypnos does not take his work too seriously. Hypnos cannot be found outside the House at any point in the game and will remain in the House, unlike Thanatos, who often moves to help Zagreus behind Hades' back. Hypnos clearly admires his brother and wishes to spend more time with him, despite Thanatos' cold rejection. At one point, he suggests that Thanatos "kill all the mortals at once" to make his job easier and thus free up more time together, and this may save his brother from his hard work, but Thanatos reprimands him for the "stupidity" of his idea. He's apparently powerful enough that he can put the entire House except Nyx to sleep, which Zagreus asks him to do when he goes to snoop around. But overall, he's not very good at his job and prefers lazing about and chatting to Zagreus when he appears from the pool from time to time.
