1. hephaestus was known to be very ugly, but probably not as ugly as you thought. in greek mythology, every god is 'perfect' on their looks. that's a part of a reason why mortals would disintegrate after looking directly at them. hephaestus, though, is an exception. due to this, he is banished off olympus by hera. still, according to statues and temples and books that were written and created by the ancient greeks, hephaestus was said to be 'extremely handsome' compared to mortals.

2. hades, in fact, is actually the most warm-hearted and good-boyfriend-type god in olympus. compared to other gods, hades only had 2 officially-admitted affairs, including persephone. also, most books refer hades as a 'good-tempered' man, and that's why persephone would later fall in love with such a scary man living in such a sinister place. it's also true that  persephone and hades are the most happy living couple in the immortal world.
