Son of Hades
Nico di Angelo is a fourteen-year-old Greek demigod, the son of Hades and Maria di Angelo, a mortal. He is also the younger brother of the late Bianca di Angelo and the half brother of Hazel Levesque. He is known in the Underworld as the "Ghost King" after taking the title from King Minos.
Nico di Angelo was born sometime in the early 1930's in Venice, Italy[1] before Hades and his brothers took an oath to have no more children. Since Nico was born in Italy and his mother was Italian (the daughter of a diplomat in Washington D.C.), he can speak fluent Italian. He had an older sister named Bianca di Angelo. 
At some point near the beginning of World War II, Nico and his family left Italy for the United States, where they stayed at a fancy hotel in Washington, D.C. Their mother, Maria, died when Zeus struck the hotel they were staying in with lightning in order to kill the siblings. However, they were protected by Hades as he erected an impenetrable wall of black energy to shield them from Zeus's bolts; Hades was not able to protect their mother in time. Afterwards, a devastated Hades ordered the Fury Alecto to take Nico and Bianca to the Underworld and bathe them in the River Lethe, in order to wipe their memories. He took them to a hotel called Lotus Hotel and Casino. The hotel causes those inside never to age, while time goes on at a seemingly accelerated rate outside.
After some time had passed, Hades, hoping that one of his children might one day become the "child of the Eldest Gods" (referred to in the Great Prophecy), decided to place them in the Lotus Hotel and Casino, and tasked Alecto with the job.
After what the siblings thought was a month in the Lotus Hotel (which was actually approximately 70 years), they were taken out by Alecto, this time disguised as a different lawyer. Alecto drove Nico and Bianca back east, through D.C., and then up into Maine. They were brought to a military school called Westover Hall, paid for by Hades using what Nico and Bianca thought to be a trust fund left to them by their parents.
