Notice: cars driven less than 25 miles could pay less. War in Ukraine. Percy lives in the Upper East Side of Manhattan , but found his life uprooted upon discovering his true paternity. He has black hair and sea-green eyes. He has inherited special abilities from Poseidon which include the ability to control water, boats, and ships; to create small hurricanes; to breathe and see clearly underwater, and to talk to horse-like creatures and most aquatic animals.
He is also a gifted swordsman using his shape-shifting sword pen. Throughout the series, Percy uses a ballpoint pen named Anaklusmos Ancient Greek for "Riptide" for battle. His mortal life was not the best. He, like most demigods, was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. This made him the subject of bullying from his peers. His mother was once married to Gabe Ugliano Smelly Gabe , an abusive, gambling-addicted alcoholic.
His repugnant mortal odor masked Percy's demigod scent, hiding him from monsters. Later, she married Paul Blofis, whom she genuinely loved, and they had a daughter named Estelle. Percy also found love at the end of The Last Olympian.
In the films, he is portrayed by Logan Lerman. In the musical, he is portrayed by Chris McCarrell. Walker Scobell will play the role in the TV series. Grover Underwood is a satyr and Percy's best friend. He has curly reddish-brown hair and fur, acne, and a wispy goatee.
His horns grow larger as the series progresses, and he must take increasingly careful measures to hide them and his goat legs while posing as a human. In The Lightning Thief , Chiron states that Grover is small even for his age: He is twenty-eight then, but because satyrs mature half the speed of humans, he is considered a teenager. Grover is quite sensitive and attached to nature. Like all satyrs, he can sense emotions and sense monsters and demigods.
As the series progresses, his concern for his friends and the pursuit of his goals leads him to take on leadership roles and become more confident. Unlike his demigod friends, Grover is not an orthodox fighter. Instead, he uses reed pipes or a cudgel.
In The Lightning Thief , he gets a "searcher's license" after delivering Percy safely, allowing him to search for the lost god Pan. When Polyphemus captures him in The Sea of Monsters , he activates an empathy link, a psychic bond with Percy created a year before that allows telepathic communication across great distances. He uses this to guide Percy to his rescue. In the films, he is portrayed by Brandon T.
Jackson and Bjorn Yearwood as young Grover in the second film. In the musical, he is portrayed by George Salazar. Aryan Simhadri will play Grover in the TV series. She has an extensive paternal family including Magnus Chase. In the film adaptations, she is portrayed by Alexandra Daddario and Alisha Newton as young Annabeth in the second film. In the musical, she is portrayed by Kristin Stokes.
Leah Jeffries will portray Annabeth in the TV series. She is described by her teacher Chiron as "territorial about her friends", which is manifested in some moments of jealousy and distrust. In The Lightning Thief , it is revealed that she also suffers from arachnophobia , a fear shared by her siblings due to their mother's relationship with Arachne, whom Athena turned into a spider.
Annabeth ran away from her father and stepfamily at age seven and encountered Luke Castellan and Thalia Grace.
Annabeth remained attached to Luke and convinced of his goodness even after his decision to support Kronos.
He was also her first love interest. Her attempts to bring Luke back into the fold are an important theme in the books. At the end of the series, she plans to finish high school in New York and then attend college in New Rome. In The Hidden Oracle, one of her friends states that Annabeth had gone to Boston for "some family emergency" — searching for her cousin Magnus Chase. Annabeth's appearances in crossover shorts with The Kane Chronicles , and in Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard make her the only character besides Percy Jackson to have appeared in all three of the Greco-Roman, Egyptian and Norse mythology series by author Rick Riordan.
Her main weapon is a short celestial bronze knife given to her by Luke Castellan. In The Last Olympian , it was found to be a cursed blade, which Luke used to eject Kronos from his soul, consequently killing himself.
After losing it in The House of Hades , she uses a drakon-bone sword given to her by the giant Damasen in Tartarus. In The Kane Chronicles crossover series, she also uses Sadie Kane's wand when it turns into a dagger similar to the one Luke gave her.
Annabeth also owns an invisibility Yankees cap, a gift from her mother. Annabeth also has dyslexia and ADHD. Luke Castellan was a year-old son of Hermes and May Castellan. In the musical, he is portrayed by James Hayden Rodriguez. Charlie Bushnell will portray Luke in the TV series. Introduced initially as the friendly head counselor of the Hermes cabin, Luke is revealed to serve Kronos at the end of The Lightning Thief.
He is resentful of his father, who adhered to the gods' policy of non-interference despite May Castellan's mental illness. He ran away from home at a young age and eventually arrived at camp with Annabeth Chase and Thalia Grace.
After the loss of Thalia, a failed quest and continued silence from Hermes, his ongoing resentment turned into a strong hatred of his father and the other gods. Described as decent and kind before Kronos, he behaved with volatility and violence after his defection. Though Luke originally served Kronos willingly, the horrors he witnessed during the Battle of Manhattan convinced him to fight against his former master, eventually committing suicide to stop the Titan.
When he died, Luke reiterates what Ethan Nakamura had told Percy before: unclaimed children and unrecognized gods deserve more respect than they have been given. Percy later fulfills his request. Luke is described as handsome, with sandy blonde hair, blue eyes, and a long scar on the side of his face, given to him by Ladon the Dragon. Besides the ability to open locks with his mind, inherited from his father, he is an excellent swordsman.
It is later reforged as Kronos's scythe and has the ability to harm both mortals and immortals because of its double edged blade, half steel, half celestial bronze.
From Halcyon Green, he receives a diary he later entrusts to Chiron, and a celestial bronze knife he later gives to Annabeth with a promise to always remain her family. From his father he receives magic flying shoes, which he later curses and gives to Percy, but Percy gives the shoes to Grover. Just before giving himself over completely to host the spirit of Kronos, Luke bathes in the River Styx and obtains the invincibility of Achilles.
Due to her mother's abusive nature, Thalia had considered leaving home since she was little, but stayed to protect Jason. When Jason was seemingly stolen during a visit to Sonora, Thalia finally ran away and stayed on the run with Luke and Annabeth until they met Grover the satyr when she was When they reached camp, Hades sent a horde of hell hounds that Thalia held off, sacrificing herself for her friends.
Zeus pitied his daughter and turned her into a pine tree; her spirit then provided a magical barrier around the camp, keeping mortals and monsters out. Seven years later, she is purged from the pine tree with the Golden Fleece , which was applied to save it from poisons that were destroying the magical barrier protecting the demigods. At the end of The Titan's Curse , she becomes the lieutenant of the Hunters of Artemis, which freezes her age the night before her 16th birthday and prevents her from being the child of the prophecy.
Thalia has bright blue eyes and spiky black hair, and wears black eyeliner and punk style clothing. Jason describes her as having a Mediterranean complexion. Annabeth and Chiron remark that her personality and character traits like her bravery and loyalty are very similar to Percy's. She also shares some traits with her father, such as his pride, confidence, and vehement reactions to betrayal or contradiction.
An incredibly skilled warrior, she is willing to attack even Luke, who was known as the best swordsman of the last years. Thalia's weapons are the shield Aegis, disguised as a silver bracelet, and a spear disguised as a Mace can. After The Titan's Curse , she also uses a bow and hunting knives, given to her by the Hunters of Artemis. Her main power is the ability to summon lightning and generate electric shocks. In The Titan's Curse , it is revealed that she has a rather ironic fear of heights , despite being a daughter of Zeus.
She got her fear of heights when she was in Apollo's sun chariot specifically when he told her to drive. In The Lost Hero , she embraces her brother Jason for the first time in years, only to learn that he had lost his memory. She is described as looking around 14 years of age, although it is later revealed that she is well over years old. She is also later then revealed to be a former Hesperid, daughter of Atlas and Pleione.
She had brown eyes, slightly upturned nose and long dark hair braided with a silver circlet on the top. It is also stated by Percy that she gave him the impression of a Persian princess. Although her ethnicity or race is never specified, she is known to have copper-colored skin. She is said to have the same cold look in her eyes as her father, the Titan Atlas. She then gifts him her hairpin, which turns into "Anaklusmos", currently in the possession of Percy. As a reaction, she came to hold a grudge against male heroes, especially those who reminded her of Hercules.
Once had they ran into her, Luke Castellan, and Annabeth Chase. She also is said to speak in an old, strange accent, more heavily when upset.
It changes too often! She also addresses Percy, telling him that she is honored he carried "Anaklusmos". When Percy is forced to take him to camp, it is revealed that he is a baby Cyclops and thus a son of Poseidon, making him Percy's half brother.
In the films, he is portrayed by Douglas Smith. Tyson is tall with unkempt teeth and fingernails, brown hair and eyes. He is mentally about 8 years old, but very intelligent and compassionate. As a son of Poseidon, he shares some of Percy's powers. As a Cyclops, he is immune to fire and has super strength, an uncanny ability to mimic voices, enhanced senses, and understands the "old tongue" the language spoken by Gaia to her first children.
Tyson is close with several characters and magical creatures in the series, including Rainbow the hippocampus, the hellhound Mrs. O'Leary and the harpy Ella, who eventually becomes his girlfriend. In The Sea of Monsters , Tyson first appears as a huge homeless kid that is taken in as a class project by Merriweather Prep, Percy's school.
Tyson is sensitive, childish and bullied with Percy being his only friend. However, it's also suggested that Tyson's presence in Percy's life has shielded him from attack throughout the year as monsters are too afraid to attack Percy while he is with a Cyclops.
When Laistrygonian giants attack in the guise of a dodgeball game, Tyson's powers as a Cyclops shield him from harm and level the playing field, allowing him to defeat several of the giants before Annabeth Chase intervenes to finish the job. Due to her own bad experiences with Cyclopes, Annabeth reluctantly takes Tyson with them to Camp Half-Blood where his immunity to fire proves to be vital in defeating the attacking Colchis Bulls.
Annabeth reveals Tyson's true nature to Percy and the young Cyclops faces a great deal of prejudice from the other campers due to his monster heritage and frustration from Percy when Poseidon claims Tyson as his son, causing Percy to be bullied as well. The sole exception to the bullying is Charles Beckendorf whose father, Hephaestus, employs Cyclopes, causing Beckendorf to befriend Tyson and train him in metalworking.
When Percy and Annabeth secretly depart on a quest for the Golden Fleece , they only reluctantly take Tyson along and he befriends the hippocampus Rainbow who transports them to the Princess Andromeda. While attempting to enter the Sea of Monsters, Tyson is apparently killed when the CSS Birmingham explodes as Tyson is attempting to fix the engine at the time, the only one capable of withstanding the extreme heat.
Tyson later resurfaces on Polyphemus' island, having survived the explosion before being rescued by Rainbow. Polyphemus calls Tyson his half-brother, but Tyson helps Percy to defeat Polyphemus, rejecting the other Cyclops for his evil ways. After returning to camp, Tyson repairs and upgrades Percy and Annabeth's chariot for the second chariot race and provides them with weapons. His gift to Percy, a wristwatch that Tyson had spent the summer working on, turns out to be a shield which proves to be vital in their victory.
Afterwards, Tyson reveals to Percy that having faced a hard life of constant monster attacks, he had prayed to their father who had led Tyson to Percy. Having received an offer to work in Poseidon's underwater Cyclops forges, Tyson departs on Rainbow, saddening Percy who has come to see the Cyclops as a true brother.
In The Titan's Curse , Percy keeps in contact with Tyson through Iris-messages, although Tyson's new job and Percy's own responsibilities make this somewhat difficult to manage. At the end of the book, Tyson reveals that he has gotten permission to take the summer off and return to Camp Half-Blood. In The Battle of the Labyrinth , Tyson returns to camp and repairs Percy's wristwatch shield which had been damaged while fighting the Manticore months before.
Tyson joins the quest through the Labyrinth to find Daedalus and is at first excited to meet his idol Briares who they rescue on Alcatraz Island. However, Briares had become depressed, as all of his siblings had perished and lost the will to live, disillusioning Tyson. When Grover sets off on a side quest to find the missing wild god Pan , Tyson decides to join him despite his nervousness and allergies around satyrs.
Tyson takes part in the final battle with Kronos' forces. When Briares arrives to help, he credits Tyson with his decision to help and he calls Tyson the true hero. In The Last Olympian , Percy encounters his brother again a year later when, after the destruction of the Princess Andromeda , he ends up in Atlantis.
Although the city is under siege by the ocean gods allied with Kronos, Poseidon refuses to allow Tyson to fight, leading to an argument between him and Percy because Poseidon believes that Tyson is too young to fight and must instead be protected. Following the defeat of Kronos, Zeus commends Tyson's bravery by making him the General of the Cyclopes. Due to Tyson's preference of a club for a weapon, Zeus promises that the gods will find him a suitable club.
When Percy's memories begin to return and unable to Iris-message any of his friends, Percy manages to contact Tyson through a dream. Percy instructs his brother to find Ella the harpy and to meet him near the Caldecott Tunnel.
After his quest, Percy summons his hellhound Mrs. O'Leary at the tunnel and she arrives with Tyson and Ella, leading to an overjoyed Percy and Tyson reuniting. Ella comments on Tyson's bravery and Percy notices that his brother is blushing, causing Percy to tease him about the romance blooming between Tyson and Ella. Tyson participates in the Battle of New Rome, effortlessly killing the Cyclops Ma Gasket and her children and also battling Earthborn spirits with the help of advice on their weak spots from Ella.
After the battle, Tyson is present when Percy is made praetor of the legion and when the Roman Senate discusses the approach of the Greek demigods. After Ella issues a prophecy, Percy discreetly orders Tyson to take Ella away, not wanting Octavian to learn of the harpy's knowledge of the lost Sibylline Books.
After things go south, Percy contacts Tyson and orders him to take Ella to Camp Half-Blood where the harpy will be safe. When Reyna, Nico and Coach Hedge are cornered by Michael Kahale, Leila and Dakota on a yacht near Camp Half-Blood, Tyson unexpectedly arrives to help with Ella, who is now his girlfriend, and Rainbow, using his ability to mimic voices to mimic Octavian and trick the Romans into disarming themselves.
Taking advantage of the surprise, Tyson effortlessly knocks Kahale unconscious with a single blow to the head, which is notable because Kahale is stated to be so strong that it takes someone with an immense strength to overpower him. During the final battle with Gaea, Tyson leads the friendly Cyclopes against the Earth goddess and her monster army. Afterwards, with the powers of prophecy no longer working, Tyson joins Ella and Rachel Elizabeth Dare in traveling to New Rome in the hopes of reconstructing the Sibylline Books, the only source of prophecies left at the moment.
In The Tyrant's Tomb , Tyson and Ella have settled in New Rome where the harpy has been using her photographic memory to reconstruct the lost Sibylline Books while the harpy and the Cyclops run a bookstore at the same time.
Ella's transcriptions take the form of tattoos on Tyson's skin rather than being put on paper, something that Apollo finds to be awkward to deal with.
Tyson also has his girlfriend give him a tattoo of his friend Rainbow. Tyson and Ella help Apollo Lester to decipher the prophecies surrounding the current threat from Caligula , Commodus and Tarquin and later to perform a ceremony to summon Diana for help against the emperors and Tarquin's undead legion.
The two are still in Diana's temple when Tarquin attacks their bookstore, looking for the Sibylline Books. After the battle, Tyson and Ella rename the bookstore Cyclops Books and provide Apollo and Meg with the first part of a new prophecy that directs them to return to New York City to face Nero.
It is said that Nico had a crush on Percy ever since he saved him. At the end of the novel, it is revealed that Nico is a son of Hades. Though he appears to be ten years old, he and his elder sister Bianca were born in the s. After Zeus killed their mother Maria di Angelo, daughter of an Italian diplomat, whilst trying to kill the children, Hades wiped their memories and placed them in the Lotus Hotel, a place in Las Vegas where time stands still.
He is native to Venice, Italy and can speak Italian. Nico is initially depicted as cheerful and childlike, with olive skin and dark hair.
He enjoys playing Mythomagic, a mythology-themed card game similar to Magic: The Gathering. He takes the death of Bianca very hard, becoming moody, secretive, and irritable. He becomes angry at Percy, who swore to protect Bianca, but later forgives him. Afterward, he lived in the Underworld with Hades, where he becomes pale and shaggy-haired and begins wearing dark clothing. Nico, despite being very powerful, is extremely lonely, much like his father.
He makes nearby people uncomfortable, partially due to his unnerving weapon of choice: a sword made of iron cooled in the Styx "Stygian iron" , capable of absorbing monsters' essences rather than banishing them to Tartarus.
Stygian iron, unlike celestial bronze and Imperial gold, can harm both mortals and immortals. Nico's suggestion that Percy takes on the curse of Achilles and his work to convince Hades to fight in The Last Olympian is crucial to the Olympians' success and earns him a short bout of fame. He is privy to the fact that there are two camps, one Greek and one Roman, before The Lost Hero , making him an important liaison between the two groups in the latter series.
He brings his half-sister Hazel back from the dead and establishes her at Camp Jupiter. At the end of The Son of Neptune , Nico travels through Tartarus to find the monstrous side of the Doors of Death, an experience that leaves him haunted and weak. In The Blood of Olympus , he nearly dies several times while "shadow-traveling", which involves melting into shadows and teleporting himself to different places.
His sister, Hazel Levesque, whom he brought back from the dead, is the daughter of Hades' Roman identity Pluto. Although their attraction for each other is hinted at in The Blood of Olympus , they are not seen getting together. After the three-legged death race, he is seen assisting Will to treat the injured patients. At the end of the book, he helps Apollo and the others fight after his and Will's canoe capsized.
At the end of the book, Nico is convinced that his friend the Titan Iapetus or 'Bob' is calling for help from Tartarus despite his apparent death in The House of Hades.
Nico decides to try to find out what happened to the friendly Titan with Will's help and rescue him if need be. Rachel is a mortal girl who can see through the Mist, the force that obscures gods and monsters from most mortals. Her father, Will Dare, is a rich businessman, a fact which she is rather adverse to.
It is hinted that she has some romantic feelings for Percy which are noticed by Annabeth who becomes extremely jealous. In The Last Olympian , she has strange visions about the war. Later, after she talked to Chiron, she decided to become the new Oracle of Delphi, according to her fate. She gave up her feelings for Percy to her duty. Her appearance makes things easier for both Olympians and Greek demigods.
Her first act as the Oracle is to deliver the next Great Prophecy, setting the plot of the Heroes of Olympus series. Following the loss of Delphi to Python, as revealed in The Hidden Oracle , Rachel stops visiting camp and begins a frenzied attempt to regain her foresight, not helped by Apollo's disappearance. Once informed of Apollo's arrival, Rachel returns and learns that not only Delphi is lost, but also three other Oracles, and that only Rhea's Dodonian Oracle is still valid.
She becomes upset upon learning of the existence of other Oracles, as Apollo hasn't told her before. She plans to take the summer off before returning to work as the Oracle full time. She also provides Nico and Will with a prophecy.
She has red hair and freckles, is skilled at painting and drawing, and occasionally shown as a non-ADHD foil for her demigod teammates. Percy remarks on her ability to stand still for a long time at a charity event. Due to her power of foresight, Rachel knows a great deal of knowledge before she learns it herself.
Clarisse is a daughter of Ares and the former lead counselor of the Ares cabin at Camp Half-Blood, Clarisse is hot-tempered, courageous, strong, an incredible fighter, usually using an electric spear given to her by Ares, and a good military strategist.
She can be stubborn and overconfident, much like her father. Despite their similarities, Clarisse has a fear of her father and his anger at her if she should ever disappoint him.
This, along with a strong sense of honor and pride, often motivates her actions. She also fears the Labyrinth because of what happened to her boyfriend Chris Rodriguez before she saved him. She is aggressive towards most demigods, including Percy, though she does respect and make friends with a few, including Percy, Annabeth, and Silena Beauregard. Clarisse makes frequent appearances throughout the novels. Enraged after the loss of her friend Silena, she later joins the battle with a fury reminiscent of her father's, slaying a drakon singlehandedly and receiving the blessing of Ares.
In The Hidden Oracle , it is stated that Clarisse has gone to attend the University of Arizona and her role as counselor is taken by her half-brother Sherman Yang. In the film adaptations, she is portrayed by Leven Rambin.
In the musical, she is portrayed by Sarah Beth Pfeifer. Dior Goodjohn will portray Clarisse in the TV series. Will Solace is a son of Apollo who is a native of Austin, Texas and the son of an alt-country singer named Naomi Solace.
He is stated to be the camp's best combat medic and runs the infirmary. According to Will himself, he lacks the archery skills of the other children of Apollo due to his inherited gifts being for healing rather than combat. Nevertheless, he is extremely brave and, along with his healing abilities, can emit a painful ultrasonic whistle and can glow. Will is LGBT , although his exact sexuality is never specified. Following the death of his half-brother Michael Yew in the Battle of Manhattan, he becomes the head of the Apollo cabin.
In The Blood of Olympus , Will attends a head counselor meeting discussing the situation with Romans where he laments that he lacks the combat skills of many of his siblings due to his gifts being for healing. However, Chiron reassures Will that he will nevertheless play an important role due to the inevitable need for healers. At one point, Will calms down Clarisse by touching her arm, which Nico di Angelo, witnessing the meeting through a dream, notes is an incredibly rare thing, as Clarisse would normally attack anyone who ever dared tried to do such a thing.
Will delivers Coach Hedge's baby boy Chuck and, despite not being a fighter, volunteers to join the team sent to scout out the Roman positions to get a break along with Lou Ellen and Cecil. Will is reunited with Nico di Angelo and the two begin bickering over Nico's use of his powers, which Will can sense are having a negative effect on his health.
Will also berates Nico for his plan to leave both camps after the war, stating that there are people who are or would like to be Nico's friends if he would only give them a chance. The team sabotages the Roman onagers and Will uses his ultrasonic whistle twice to help defeat attacking enemies.
During the final battle with Gaea's forces, Will and Nico confront Octavian who, being a Roman descendant of Apollo, is a distant relative of Will's, although Nico notes that compared to Will, Octavian is watered-down and unhealthy looking, lacking anything that makes a child of Apollo special.
Although Nico and Will both see that Octavian's robes are caught up in the firing rope of the onager, Nico convinces Will not to intervene, leading to Octavian inadvertently launching himself to his death when he fires the weapon at Gaea.
In the battle's aftermath, Nico avoids Will, convinced that the son of Apollo will now see him as a monster and want nothing to do with him, Nico having shown signs of a possible attraction to Will while working together on the battlefield.
To Nico's surprise, Will forcefully tracks him down and orders Nico to spend three days in the infirmary recovering, berating Nico for avoiding him in the process. Nico comes out to Percy and admits his former crush on him before joining Will. In The Hidden Oracle , Nico and Will are shown to have started dating each other in the six months since the battle.
When Will's now-mortal father Apollo arrives at camp, Will and Nico aid Apollo in his quest and in adjusting to being mortal. After the battle with Nero's forces, Will treats the worst of the camp's cases of hay fever caused by Apollo's plague arrow. In The Tower of Nero , Nico has become depressed following the death of Jason Grace on top of all of his other losses while Will is supportive and concerned for his boyfriend.
During the final battle with Nero, Nico and Will help Apollo alongside the troglodytes, with Will at one point suddenly arriving with Camp Half-Blood reinforcements, as Nero apparently has the upper hand. Following Nero's death, Will coordinates treating everyone's injuries and helps Apollo prepare for his final battle with Python.
Two weeks later, Apollo, now a god once again, visits his son and his boyfriend where Will talks about a possible date in Paris using Nico's shadow traveling. The two reveal that Nico believes that a voice that he's been hearing calling for help from Tartarus is Bob , causing Will to playfully wonder if he should be jealous before Nico clarifies that he's talking about a Titan.
Will plans to join Nico on his mission into Tartarus to try to find out what happened to Bob and to rescue him if he can, enlisting the help of the troglodytes to get in and out.
Rachel provides them with a prophecy. Calypso is the daughter of the titan Atlas, who is imprisoned on the island of Ogygia for supporting her father during the first titan war. She falls in love with Percy and is heartbroken when he has to leave. Percy asks the gods to release her at the end of The Last Olympian , [3] but she is still residing there when Leo becomes trapped on Ogygia in The House of Hades , having been released from the curse of being forced to fall in love with all those to fall upon the island rather than the island itself.
Leo and Calypso subsequently fall in love legitimately. After Leo escapes, he swears on the River Styx that he will return for Calypso. At the end of The Blood of Olympus , Leo gets back to Ogygia and frees Calypso using an astrolabe that Odysseus had built for that purpose, although he was unable to complete it without a crystal from the island that Calypso had given to Leo on his first visit. Despite this, the two secretly attempt to find a normalcy for their lives and later announce to Apollo that they are going to settle in Indianapolis , although they will continue to help him anyway they can.
During The Dark Prophecy , Calypso regains her ability to use magic, although the goddess Britomartis suggests that she had simply lost control of her powers rather than losing them altogether. With training from Josephine, Calypso begins regaining control over her magic. As a sorceress, Calypso can command wind spirits to do her bidding. She loses most of her control of them when she gives up her immortality; however, she is still capable of summoning them to a degree, though by consuming more power than usual.
Also, due to spending a long time at Ogygia, she has mastered sewing and lock-picking, which she uses while finding the gryphons at Indianapolis Zoo.
In The Tower of Nero , Leo reveals that Calypso is enjoying attending high school and is currently working as a counselor at a mortal band camp for kids. The two are currently in a fight due to Leo's disrespectful behavior towards women, but both Leo and Reyna are sure that they will work it out when she returns at the end of the summer. Bob first appears as one of the main antagonists of the short story Percy Jackson and the Sword of Hades which appears in The Demigod Diaries as well as the back of the paperback edition of The House of Hades.
He subsequently appears as a main character and a supporting protagonist in The House of Hades. In desperation, Percy throws Iapetus into the River Lethe which erases the Titan's memories, leaving him with a childlike personality.
Percy convinces the amnesic Iapetus that he's actually their friend Bob and Bob heals Percy's injuries from the fight and aids him in confronting Persephone over her secret creation of the sword in the first place.
Bob is subsequently employed as a janitor in the Underworld by Hades. In The House of Hades , while trapped in Tartarus, Percy and Annabeth briefly reminisce about Bob, inadvertently summoning him to their aid when the Titan overhears them. Percy is left feeling guilty after learning how Hades and Persephone used Bob as a servant while Nico would visit and tell the Titan about how good of a friend Percy is.
Bob acts as a guide and protector to Percy and Annabeth, his knowledge of Tartarus from his time trapped there proving vital in their quest to reach the Doors of Death and escape. However, the regenerative effects of Tartarus on monsters starts to heal Bob's mind and slowly restore his memories, including the fact that Percy was the one who erased them in the first place.
On one occasion, the group faces monsters who cast curses upon them that their previous enemies have left. Bob hesitates to help until Percy apologizes for his actions and for being a bad friend. Bob also befriends Small Bob, a sabertooth cat inadvertently created and then destroyed by Atlas in The Titan's Curse. Bob leads Percy and Annabeth to the friendly giant Damasen who heals the two demigods injuries, but is convinced that he can't change his fate of forever battling the maeonian drakon despite Percy and Annabeth's belief that the line of the Prophecy of Seven about "foes bare arms to the Doors of Death " refers to the four of them: two demigods, a Titan and a Giant who should be mortal enemies under normal circumstances.
Ultimately, despite the return of his memories, Bob takes Percy's advice to heart that he should take the parts of Iapetus' past that he wants while leaving everything else behind and continues to side with them, showing disgust for his evil past.
At the Doors of Death, firmly identifying himself as Bob rather than Iapetus, he faces off against the embodiment of Tartarus alongside Small Bob, Damasen and the drakon, to ensure Percy and Annabeth's escape from the realm and the closing of the Doors of Death.
The four are presumably destroyed in the process, devastating Nico, Percy and Annabeth who recognize Bob as a true friend. Percy sadly fulfils Bob's last request to say hello to the stars for him, Bob having wanted to see the stars again. Nico later reveals to Apollo that he believes that the voice is Bob, suggesting that the Titan had in fact survived his battle with Tartarus at the Doors of Death.
Feeling guilty for leaving Bob behind, Nico is determined to travel into Tartarus and try to find out what happened to Bob and if possible, to rescue his friend. Nico and his boyfriend Will Solace explain that they intend to enlist the help of the troglodytes who are capable of safely tunneling into and out of anywhere, even Tartarus. However, Rachel Elizabeth Dare issues them a prophecy that Will admits doesn't sound good. She is a daughter of Bellona, a Roman goddess of war, and the younger sister of Queen Hylla of the Amazons.
She and her sister worked for Circe during the events of The Sea of Monsters where Reyna was one of the attendants who looked after Annabeth. After Percy and Annabeth escape and free Blackbeard and his crew, Reyna and Hylla were captured by the pirates before eventually escaping and going their separate ways. Reyna found the way to Camp Jupiter, where she belonged.
She became the praetor of the Twelfth Legion just four years after she joined. She would not trust anyone so easily, which was a good quality because she had a whole legion to lead. She did everything she could for her friends and family, which was everyone in New Rome. When she found out about the Greek demigods, Reyna chose not to pursue revenge against the Greeks, despite her difficult history with them.
She understands the importance of both camps united. She does not have a fatal flaw, unlike Annabeth. However, she could still not get everything she wanted. She could not find love, just like Venus had said. In the Tyrant's Tomb , she joined the Hunters. It is a sign of her overcoming fate, and living beyond other's expectations. She is described as intimidating and a natural leader; she has glossy black hair and very dark brown eyes. Reyna is generally more used to responsibility than other demigods, as she is a praetor at Camp Jupiter.
Reyna is often accompanied by two magical dogs, Aurum and Argentum, or by her pegasus Scipio "Skippy" dies after their trip from New York to Greece in The House of Hades after being slashed by a griffin's poisonous claw. While shadow-travelling to New York, the trio stops in San Juan and visits Reyna's former house, haunted by the ghosts of her relatives.
Reyna's father an Iraq war veteran deeply loved the goddess, but his PTSD turned this love into an unhealthy paranoia. When Reyna was ten years old, he became a mania , or an evil insane ghost. When the mania attacked Hylla, young Reyna picked up the closest weapon and killed what remained of her father.
Reyna is reluctant to discuss the incident because patricide is "unforgivable" in New Rome. Eventually, Annabeth sensed that Reyna wanted Jason to love her back. In The House of Hades , Jason felt guilty for letting her believe they had a future together. In The Blood of Olympus , she daydreams about romantic activities with Jason like "romantic walks" and "sunset picnics.
In The Tyrant's Tomb , Reyna is revealed to be asexual and has always felt pressured to take a romantic partner, but didn't understand why she never truly felt an attachment to anyone until Apollo hits on her. In The Tower of Nero , after becoming a god once again, Apollo encounters Reyna who is settling in well with the Hunters and has been mentoring Leo Valdez in his behavior towards Calypso.
Leo Valdez is a son of Hephaestus. He likes to joke around and relies on his sense of humor to bury the pain he feels as a result of his troubled past. He is described as having curly brown hair, brown eyes, a cheerful face, a slim and scrawny build, dark skin, and a mischievous smile. He is Hispanic-American and speaks Spanish. Leo has the ability to create and manipulate fire, a skill that no child of Hephaestus has had for years. He also has severe ADHD even by demigod standards.
He is an excellent mechanic and at one point repairs a bronze dragon running wild in the camp's woods, which he names Festus meaning "happy" in Latin. Inspired by a blueprint in Bunker 9, an abandoned bunker in the camp's woods, and a picture he drew in his kindergarten time, he also creates the Argo II , the flying ship the seven demigods of the Great Prophecy sail on to reach Greece.
When Leo was eight, Gaia tricked him into burning down his mother Esperanza's machine shop in Houston , resulting in her death. Leo's remaining family blamed him for killing her and left him a foster child and runaway. However, Leo and Piper have Mist-induced memories of meeting and becoming friends with Jason. He sometimes thinks of himself as a seventh wheel, as for the first three books of the Heroes of Olympus series he is the only person aboard the Argo II without a significant other, though he proves no less important or skilled than the others.
Until he falls in love with Calypso, a nymph third-generation titanness, in The House of Hades , Leo flirts with almost every girl he meets to cover up his insecurities about never finding love. In The Blood of Olympus , Leo sacrifices himself to annihilate Gaia and dies in the process, but is brought back to life using the Physician's Cure and returns for Calypso on her island, Ogygia. This is an impressive feat, as nobody has ever been to Ogygia twice.
However, Leo had the advantage of an astrolabe that had been created for just such a purpose by Odysseus as an old man. Leo had gotten the device from two dwarfs shortly before landing on Ogygia and had learned from them that Odysseus had lacked a vital crystal to complete the device which Leo had convinced Calypso to give him before leaving the island.
He and Calypso then journey back to Camp Half-Blood, sending a magic scroll ahead to let his friends know he's alive. When he does arrive at camp at the end of The Hidden Oracle , everyone lines up to punch him for keeping them worried for so long. Afterward, he announces that he and Calypso will be living at the Waystation and leading an ordinary life. When the prophecy of Trophonius requires that someone must warn Camp Jupiter of an invasion, Leo does the task alone. He returns, but later learns of Jason's death.
Festus is a mechanical dragon made decades ago by the Hephaestus cabin at Camp Half-Blood, and given wings by Leo Valdez years later. Festus subsequently resurrects Leo with the Physician's Cure and helps him to rescue Calypso. He is destroyed again in The Dark Prophecy , but is easily rebuilt by Leo who had redesigned Festus in case of such an eventuality. She is fifteen in The Lost Hero.
Unlike most children of Aphrodite, Piper is not particularly concerned with beauty or fashion. Piper is Cherokee on her father's side. She has tan skin, eyes that change color constantly, and choppy chocolate-colored hair which she cuts herself. She is of slim build and average height. Her demigod "powers" include "charmspeak" essentially, magical persuasion and the ability to speak French, as it is "the language of love". She is also occasionally able to see visions in her magic dagger Katoptris Ancient Greek for "mirror" , which once belonged to Helen of Troy.
The dagger lost that power after the battle against the giants in Athens. Piper's relationship with her father is mutually affectionate but strained, in part because of the small amount of attention he spares for her.
When she was young, Piper used her persuasive skills to "borrow" ask for in charmspeak things to earn a little of his time. McLean's relationship with his daughter begins to improve. Piper is also very close to Jason.
Though she later learns it was all a trick of the Mist, she believed she was once his girlfriend while they attended the same school. She works hard to recreate this relationship in real life when she comes to Camp Half-Blood.
She is also friends with all of the seven quest members in The Heroes of Olympus , especially Annabeth, Leo and Percy. Piper's main weapon is her dagger Katoptris, though she later acquires a magic cornucopia and uses it as a weapon. After being captured by pirates in The House of Hades , Piper asks Hazel to teach her sword fighting, using a jagged celestial bronze sword taken from the Boread Zethes. In The Burning Maze , it is revealed that her relationship with Jason ended a few months earlier.
Apollo, as Lester Papadopoulos, is confused because the cloud nymph, Mellie, had seemed angry at Jason, leading Apollo to mistakenly believe that Jason had broken up with Piper, while in fact, Piper had ended the relationship because she felt it was forced.
It is later unveiled that she wanted to discover herself and who she really was without the pressure of being the daughter of Aphrodite. The trick of the Mist that Hera used at the beginning of their relationship also contributed to the breakup as that meant that their relationship was technically "fake".
Still, she is heartbroken when he sacrifices himself in The Burning Maze. In The Tower of Nero , she is revealed to be in a relationship with another woman.
He was raised by the wolf goddess Lupa and her pack after his mother was compelled to give him up when he was two, then later lived at Camp Jupiter, the Roman equivalent of Camp Half-Blood. Jason inherited many special powers from his father Jupiter like summoning lightning bolts, controlling winds, flying, summoning storm spirits, and creating different types of storms like thunderstorms, rainstorms, and hurricanes.
Jason is also a master swordsman and spear user. He and Thalia are reunited in The Lost Hero , and Thalia later reveals that their mother told her that Jason was dead, and that this was what finally drove her to leave home. Jason is often described to be very handsome and attractive.
He has blond hair, electric blue eyes, and a scar above his upper lip, which is said to be from his attempt to eat a stapler at age two. Jason is also very muscular and athletic.
By the age of fifteen, he has earned the rank of praetor and leads the legion with his longtime partner, Reyna who eventually falls in love with him. Of all the characters in the series, Jason is the one who struggles the most with the differences between the Greek and Roman perspectives. When the Argo II is stuck in North Africa he must choose one identity or the other; he decides to consider himself a Greek, despite his parentage, and is subsequently unable to command a legion of Roman ghosts.
During The House of Hades it is revealed that Jason has plans to return to Camp Jupiter to improve it with things he learned at Camp Half-Blood, such as giving the fauns the Roman equivalent of a satyr more rights and responsibilities. Later, during The Blood of Olympus , Jason decides to consider both the Greek and Roman traditions as part of his heritage. He becomes the Pontifex Maximus, a role which sees him travel between Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter to build shrines for every god and goddess in the pantheon.
Jason is given a state funeral in New Rome overseen by Apollo. Hazel Levesque is a fourteen-year-old demigod, a daughter of Pluto and Marie Levesque. It is later revealed that she has returned from the dead, assisted by her half-brother Nico. She grew up in the s in New Orleans , where her mother had a gris-gris shop. When she was born, Pluto offered to grant her mother a wish, but her request for wealth backfired into an ability to control precious metals and gems , which both first view as a curse.
Hazel died after Gaea tries to use Hazel's power over earth to resurrect Alcyoneus. When Hazel's mother changes her mind about helping Gaea, Hazel buries herself and her mother under the earth, delaying Alcyoneus's rebirth and killing them both. While Hazel's spirit is being judged, she gives up the chance to go to Elysium to save her mother from punishment, and they are both sent to the Fields of Asphodel instead. At some point before The Lost Hero , Nico finds Hazel in the Underworld while trying to visit Bianca di Angelo, only to find she has tried for rebirth.
With the Doors of Death open, Nico is able to take Hazel to the world of the living through them, resurrecting her and then delivers Hazel to Camp Jupiter. Hazel and Nico are protective of each other, much as true half-siblings. Hazel is described as African American , having cocoa-colored skin, curly cinnamon-brown hair, and golden eyes.
Her legion tattoo is described as looking like a cross with curved arms and a head. She eventually learns to manipulate her curse, manipulating precious stones and metals and sensing structures underground. She is an accomplished horse-rider and skilled with a spatha.
She tames the horse Arion, who eats precious metals. She is unusually knowledgeable about the Underworld because of her time there.
