^The god Hades, son of the Titans Cronus and Rhea, received the Underworld for his realm, when his brother gods, Zeus and Poseidon, received dominion of the sky and sea.
The Cyclops gave Hades the helmet of invisibility to help in the gods' battle with the Titans -- the titanomachy. Thus, the name Hades means "The Invisible." The realm he rules over is also called Hades.

Hades is correct, although Persephone, or Kore, his wife evolved among some ancient cults to an independent status of Queen of the Underworld, terrible and cruel in her own right.
Keep in mind that although Hades is now associated with modern ideas of Satan and the Devil, he was originally no more evil than his brothers (although that's not saying much - they all pillaged and plundered and killed and raped quite a bit). Hades was not even upset at his lot in the world (it was Poseidon that was jealous of Zeus).

It's Hades.
Here's what greekmythology.com says about him:
Hades is the brother of Zeus. After the overthow of their Father Cronus he drew lots with Zeus and Poseidon, another brother, for shares of the world. He had the worst draw and was made lord of the underworld, ruling over the dead. He is a greedy god who is greatly concerned with increasing his subjects. Those whose calling increase the number of dead are seen favorably. The Erinnyes are welcomed guests. He is exceedingly disinclined to allow any of his subjects leave.
He is also the god of wealth, due to the precious metals mined from the earth. He has a helmet that makes him invisable. He rarely leaves the underworld. He is unpitying and terrible, but not capricious. His wife is Persephone whom Hades abducted. He is the King of the dead but, death itself is another god, Thanatos.
