Thanatos is the greek God of PEACEFUL death. (Yes, the comic version is the complete opposite of the deity’s role) He does not govern murder and he doesn’t approve of it. His role is to stay in the underworld and process the deaths of people who died of “natural causes”.
Hypnos is the Greek God of sleep. He may sound weak but he’s really strong. His power influences ALL and you cannot resist it. He can make anyone fall asleep at any time. This includes comas. He can put you to sleep indefinitely which is practically death.(by human standards)
Both Thanatos and Hypnos are twins and are born from the strongest deity the Greeks had: Nyx! Both of these twins have similar powers and reside in the underworld and work alongside Hades and Persephone although those two govern it.
Nyx is the Goddess of night but she may as well be the goddess of the universe since she came before all other gods and goddesses. She was the one of the first deities to be formed and is the daughter of God of Chaos. Even Zeus, the king of Gods and the God of lightning, is scared stiff of Nyx!
