Note: "Death" is also personified in Revelation, riding on a pale horse.

How did you arrive at that conclusion? There is only one Hell (called Gehenna). "Where their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched" speaks of the Lake of Fire. Christ said that Hell was created for the devil and his angels, and where do you eventually find the devil? In the Lake of Fire. I gave you all the connected verses so now you need to retract that statement.

It is HADES which is temporary (and mistakenly called "hell"). The KJV translators did a great disservice by using the term "hell" indiscriminately for three different regions.
Totally unimportant. Whatever your "accurate name" for it is, you don't wanna go there.

As a matter of fact, it is quite important to distinguish between Hades and Hell. Kenneth Copeland (and probably some others) promoted the false doctrine that Christ was dragged into Hell by Satan and tormented there for three days and three nights! Had Copeland know the huge difference between Hades and Hell he would never have presented such rubbish.

"Still, Copeland insists "Satan conquered Jesus on the Cross and took His spirit to the dark regions of hell" (emphasis in original).71 Copeland's description of Christ's ordeal in hell is nothing short of chilling: "He [Jesus] allowed the devil to drag Him into the depths of hell....He allowed Himself to come under Satan's control...every demon in hell came down on Him to annihilate Him....They tortured Him beyond anything anybody had ever conceived. For three days He suffered everything there is to suffer."72"

You need to go back to the Greek Received Text (the Textus Receptus) to determine what is true and what is not.
That would make me the final authority on what God has said. No thanks.

Christ did go to hell, but not to suffer. He got the keys, preached to the spirits and walked across the great gulf to Abraham's bosom. All this was done before the end of the day, three hours, so he could fulfill his word to the thief on the cross. Please don't let false teachers turn you from being a bible believer.
