Hades is a lonely god. Contrary to popular belief, he doesn't have a wife, and has to monitor the underworld and the entirety of the earth's riches all by himself. As you can imagine, he doesn't particularly enjoy it. So he decided that he'd take some souls from the underworld, and force them to work in his mines in Hadestown.
Hades figured this was the perfect plan. However, he forgot that he gets every soul, and some of them are very rebellious souls. When he takes a single soul to be his husband (yes, Hades loves the dudes), the soul takes the opportunity to start organizing a revolution to free all of the enslaved souls and get them to Elysium.
