Hecate

She’s known as the Witch of the Crossroads and is a Titan goddess tied to witchcraft, necromancy, magic, doorways, and crossroads. In the game’s story, she’s the mentor of Melinoë (the main character), and she runs the resistance against Chronos, the Titan of Time.

Personality-wise, she comes off as strict, serious, and extremely disciplined. She trains Melinoë like a hard teacher would—no sugarcoating, no easy praise. A lot of players read her as harsh, but it’s more like she’s intensely focused on preparing Melinoë for something way bigger than herself. At the same time, she clearly cares about her and acts like a guardian/mentor figure, even if she refuses to call herself a parent.

In the actual game structure, she’s also your first major boss fight (Erebus). That’s not because she’s an enemy in the story, but because she’s literally testing you—she wants to make sure Melinoë is strong enough before letting her go deeper into the Underworld.

Lore-wise, she’s deeply tied into the main plot: she helps raise Melinoë after Chronos attacks, gathers survivors, and ends up leading parts of the resistance. She’s also very secretive, doesn’t fully explain her past, and has a lot of mysterious “witch history” energy going on.
