Like my sister is studying to be a doctor and gets a lot of questions from family and friends about any slight pain or twinge they feel hoping she can give them an answer as they always think it's something major and know she has medical knowledge. His humour isn't much different from my owm family saying rather intentionally unhelpful things just to be a little annoying. "You're someone tough enough to defeat something as powerful as the Hydra and yet you got sent back here by a tiny rat? That's funny bro" It's not a mean humour where he makes fun of you for things out of your control like your appearance or puts you down thinking he is better than you, he acknowledges your achievements and respects them but will usually make fun of the situation for the player/Zag making mistakes like Some say it is because the Master is oblivious to Hypnos, but it is my choice to think the Master secretly and silently enjoys the bit of levity the fellow purposely or inadvertently provides.I come from a very sarcastic family unit so Hypnos' humour gelled well with me. It is a wonder that the Master is so tolerant of this. Though Hypnos may be lacking in propriety, he brings a certain cheer, however unconventional, into the grim proceedings of the House. The former of the two, we call him Hypnos he whiles away, half-sleeping, watching over the Pool of Styx in the foyer of the House, taking stock of those arriving in the Master's domain, or returning to it. That turns out to be not quite correct, insofar as the two, in fact, are brothers, born to Nyx herself. It is said that Sleep is the cousin of Death. He greets Zagreus whenever the prince is killed and returns to the House via the Pool of Styx, and often gives unhelpful advice and a quip about whichever enemy or natural force did Zagreus in. Hypnos watches over the procession of newly-arrived shades coming before Hades.

He is one of Nyx's many children, and is a brother to "Death". Greg Kasavin Hypnos is the embodiment of sleep.
