I honestly think good children of Hades are in the minority. What's that they say about power corrupting? I bet there have been just as many "bad" children of the other Gods; Hades' kids just get the limelight because they're in such a different class of power.

Besides, Nico was well on his way to the Dark Side in Battle of the Labyrinth. Also, I do not believe Hades himself is evil. He was definitely harsh, merciless, and unforgiving, but he was just and that is a part of his nature as the Ruler of the Underworld. Besides, while he was feared, he was never hated. But a child does not neccesarily take after their parents personality, especially one that is never their. But I still believe there were more evil children of Hades than other gods because if no one liked you and always tried to stay away from you, how would you turn out to be? Probably evil, cruel, and hateful.
