Hint: Don't go into the comic, superhero, sci-fi, fantasy, etc., territory. Think Neo-Western.

Congratulations @Nerea
For those who might be interested (spoilers ahead):
Walter White from Breaking Bad was diagnosed with cancer. To fund his treatment, he began making Meth using his chemistry knowledge. He obviously got involved with the drug Mafia. Later, it became an obsession for him to make more money and he turned into an anti-hero.
The fly clue refers to the divisive episode featuring a fly. Some viewers loved it but others hated it.
And as Nerea has already mentioned, he used the alias Heisenberg (German Physicist Werner Karl Heisenberg) to hide his identity.

My name is derived from an Ancient Greek term.
I am an attribute of one of the stars.
I am only visible during an eclipse.
I am much hotter than my host.
What am I?

I'm still thinking this one over. Trying to remember my ancient Greek mythologies.

Your guess is good, but that's not the name I'm looking for.
Hint: I am an outer space of a star in the solar system.

What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

Hint 1: I am an outer space of a star in the solar system.
Hint 2: I share a name with a dangerous disease that has claimed many lives.

Congratulations already.
For those who might be interested:
Source Wikipedia:
Corona - Latin for 'Crown' which is derived from Greek for 'Garland' or 'Wreath'.
The Sun's corona extends millions of kilometres into outer space and is most easily seen during a total solar eclipse. Spectroscopy measurements indicate strong ionization in the corona and a plasma temperature in excess of 1000000 kelvin, much hotter than the surface of the Sun.
It's still a scientific mystery why the temperature of the Sun's corona is millions of kelvins greater than that of the surface.
Great Riddle @Nerea
