Abstract: The fundumental invariant of the Hecke algebra $H_n(q)$ is the $q$-deformed class-sum of transpositions of the symmetric group $S_n$. Irreducible representations of $H_n(q)$, for generic $q$, are shown to be completely characterized by the corresponding eigenvalues of $C_n$ alone. For $S_n$ more and more invariants are necessary as $n$ inereases. It is pointed out that the $q$-deformed classical quadratic Casimir of $SU(N)$ plays an analogous role. It is indicated why and how this should be a general phenomenon associated with $q$-deformation of classical algebras. Apart from this remarkable conceptual aspect $C_n$ can provide powerful and elegant techniques for computations. This is illustrated by using the sequence $C_2$, $C_3,cdots,;C_n$ to compute the characters of $H_n(q)$.
