Main characters

Perseus Jackson

Perseus "Percy" Jackson is the son of Poseidon the sea god and the mortal Sally Jackson. He is the protagonist and narrator of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Being a child of one of the "Big Three" (Zeus, Hades, Poseidon), Percy is the child of the prophecy of the Oracle, which foretells that the next half-blood child of the "Big Three" to reach the age of sixteen would have to make a decision that would mean the destruction or saving of Olympus. However, Percy is not the hero.^[1] He has hydrokinetic powers that develop throughout the story, becoming strong enough for him to summon a small hurricane in the Last Olympian. Simply being in water can also heal and energize him, water pressure has no effect on him, and he can see underwater at any depth. In The Battle of The Labyrinth, he gets a pet Hellhound named Mrs. O'Leary. He can also communicate with equestrian animals such as Pegasus and Hippocampi, since his father is the god who created horses. He has a sword called Anaklusmos (Riptide) that was a gift from his father Poseidon, delivered to him by Chiron. It can transform into looking like ballpoint pen when capped. It is made of celestial bronze and he can never lose it; it will always return to his pocket. He was technically only selected to go on two of the four quests in the series, the first being the retrieval of Zeus' master thunderbolt. In The Battle of the Labyrinth, Percy has to go through the Labyrinth, a big subterranean maze in order to defend the camp against Luke (a son of Hermes and servant of the Titan lord Kronos). The quest in The Sea of Monsters was intended to be led by Clarisse (daughter of Ares), but Percy sneaks out of camp because he needs to find Grover, his best friend/protector and because he believes Clarisse will mess up. In The Titan's Curse, he is also not selected to go on the quest, but he follows the group because he wants to save Annabeth, who has been captured by the Titans. Percy has a crush on Annabeth, but his love life has been difficult as a result of Aphrodite's promise she made to him when she met him in the desert. After he helps Zoë, Bianca, Grover, and Thalia, Zoë reluctantly allows him to become the fifth member of their team. In The Last Olympian, he takes on the curse of Achilles, which makes him invincible in all but one point, which is a spot on his back, directly behind his navel, and leads the army against Kronos. In The Lost Hero, Hera/Juno sends Percy to the Roman Camp as an exchange, with no memories of who he is or where he has come from, so that he can learn about them. In The Son of Neptune Percy has been running from Medusa's sisters for days when he finally reaches Camp Jupiter, having to cross the Little Tiber river, and removing the curse of Achilles. Mars appears and claims Frank Zhang as his son and sends Frank, Percy and Hazel Levesque on a quest to free Thanatos. Percy memories are very weak, he remembers Annabeth as someone who kisses him when he does something stupid, and that she must have kissed him a lot.

Throughout the series, Percy is described as having his father's jet black hair and deep sea green eyes. His strong resemblance to Poseidon is one of the reasons why Medusa wanted to keep him as a statue. When he first arrives at Camp Half Blood, he is described as weak, skinny, and unfit, but eventually becomes more athletic due to his training at Camp Half-Blood. After the events of The Titan's Curse, Percy gains gray streaks in his hair after taking Atlas' burden of holding up the sky. It is not mentioned if the grey streaks disappear over time or not, as they have never been talked about again in the series. According to the UK website, Percy is 5'10" by The Last Olympian. In the film, Percy is portrayed by Logan Lerman.^[2]

He is disliked by many of the gods including Dionysus (who dislikes all demi-gods), Athena because she does not trust his relationship with her daughter especially because of the fact that he is the son of her main rival, Poseidon, Ares, Hera (after her interference in the book "The Battle of the Labyrinth"), and Hades who calls him a certain upstart demi-god. Though is respected by many such as Artemis, Apollo, Hestia, Hermes and his father Poseidon.

Annabeth Chase

Annabeth Chase is a daughter of Athena and the mortal Frederick Chase. She is shown to be somewhat pompous at first, but quickly warms to Percy during their first quest together.^[1] Being a daughter of Athena, she is very intelligent and has a fascination with architecture. In battle, she is a skilled enough fighter to hold her ground with Percy, but is superior to him in strategy. She ran away from home when she was seven and met Luke and Thalia, who took her with them to get to Camp Half-Blood. She believes she was in love with Luke, but was drawn to Percy's natural bravery and loyalty.^[1] She aids Percy in four of his five quests and is captured in one of them. Though she harbored interest for Luke, she eventually gravitates towards Percy. In "The Last Olympian" she tells Luke that she loved him as a brother, showing that her true love had always been Percy. She kisses him in The Battle of the Labyrinth when he was going into Mt. St. Helens and the telekhines attacking them are distracted. Percy also harbors feelings for her and gets jealous when she talks about Luke. She is very protective of her friends, especially Percy, as she felt extremely jealous when Percy befriended Rachel. At the end of the entire series, Percy and Annabeth are together. She owns a Yankee cap that makes the one who wears it invisible, as a 12th birthday gift from her mother. She fights with a knife that was given to her by Luke. At the end of The Battle of the Labyrinth Daedalus gives her his computer that was filled with Daedalus's notes and ideas. In The Lost Hero, Annabeth throughout the book is constantly trying to find Percy, organizing search parties and going out trying to find him.^[3] She is the Athena's cabin's councilor. She was originally requested to go on the quest to save Hera, but declines so she can look for Percy.

Annabeth is described as being athletic and having curly blond hair, tan skin, and stormy gray eyes. Annabeth's personality has been implied to very down to earth as she doesn't care about her appearance, always sporting a simple orange camp shirt and jeans. She is described by Percy throughout the first four books to be very "cute" but initially claims her to be very beautiful in the final book of the Percy Jackson Series. In the film, Annabeth is portrayed by Alexandra Daddario.

Reception

In the books Annabeth Chase has received much praise from fans and critics alike, garnering compliments on her intelligent, thoughtful personality. B. Allison Gray praises how Riordan "successfully conveys Annabeth's emotions" in Battle of the Labyrinth.^[4]

In the film there have been varied reactions. On one hand, as Rama's SCREEN reports, "the one that's been causing argument is Alexandra Daddario as Annabeth Chase... the comments on her casting were in mixed response.... Ashley thought Annasophia Robb (Race To Witch Mountain) should've played that role meanwhile Kara and Victoria saw Daddario as too old because the character Annabeth Chase in the book is about 12 years old but Lily thought Daddario should be given a chance to prove herself worthy and Joe said that to make this work, the movie needs to make her hot, athletic, with curly hair and grey eyes."^[5] On the other hand, Katey Rich writes that Daddario "looks just right for that Hermione-esque role of the brainy brunette... Daddario, ... may have just signed on for a role that will take over her life, and bring her plenty of Emma Watson-scaled fame in the process. I hope she's got her wizard's wand—oh, wait, I mean mythical god powers—ready for the challenge."^[6]

Grover Underwood

Grover Underwood is a satyr and Percy Jackson's friend. He has found the four most powerful demigods of the century: Percy Jackson (son of Poseidon), Thalia Grace (daughter of Zeus), and Nico and Bianca di Angelo (children of Hades). In 'Percy Jackson and the lightning thief' he was tasked with being Percy's protector, and if he completed his assignment he would recive his searchers license and be free to search for the god of the wild, Pan (a quest which no satyr has ever returned from. Percy does make it but because Grover was unconscious at the time and Percy was exhausted he could not receive it until he goes with Percy and Annabeth on a quest and proves his worth. He achieves this and is granted his licence at the end of the book. In the sea of monsters Grover is first seen running away from a monster in Percy's dream, Percy later dreams of him again and Grover explains that he made a empathy link. He is rescued by Percy, Annabeth and Clarrise at the end of the book. In the Titans curse Grover was looking over two potential demi-gods. He, along with every satyr is found to have a small crush on the goddess Artemis because she is "so into nature". He later joins the quest to save the goddess Artemis. Grover falls in love with a tree nymph called Juniper, who inhibits a juniper bush, from the beginning of the 4th book, The Battle of the Labyrinth. Before Pan's death, the Pan (god of the wild) proclaims Grover as the bravest satyr ever to be and names Grover as his successor to carry on his work to protect the wilderness. The Council of Cloven Elders is angered by this choice. But in The Last Olympian he is chosen as a replacement for Leneus (another Satyr who died in battle) for The Council of Cloven Elders after showing bravery on the battlefield.

Grover is a curly red-haired satyr with brown eyes, white skin, brown chin beard and hairy brown goat legs. His height is 4'5", but later turns 5'9". In the movie: curly brown hair, brown eyes, hairy brown goat legs and brown skin.

In the film, Grover is portrayed by Brandon Jackson.

Luke Castellan

Luke Castellan is one of Hermes's children and the main demigod antagonist of the series. Though initially the counselor of Cabin 11 and an ally to Percy, he revealed his true nature as a high-ranking member of Kronos's army by attempting to kill Percy at the end of The Lightning Thief, and on several occasions afterward.^[1] He is shown to harbor a great bitterness towards the gods (particularly his father, Hermes) for what he regards as abandonment. His mother had been driven insane upon attempting to impress Hermes by becoming the Oracle, leading to a stressful childhood for Luke. After physically reforming, Kronos does not need Luke's assistance. However, in his duel with Percy on Mount Olympus, striking Annabeth reminds him of his promise to protect her. This temporarily frees him from Kronos's influence. Percy makes his choice to give Luke Annabeth's knife, and Luke, cursed by the broken promise, kills himself by stabbing his own Achilles heel to destroy Kronos. This fulfills the prophecy, with Luke being the foretold hero.

In the film, Luke is portrayed by Jake Abel.

Thalia Grace

Thalia Grace is a daughter of Zeus. She is Jason's older sister and the cousin of Percy Jackson, Bianca and Nico Di Angelo and Hazel Levesque. Grover Underwood was assigned to watch over her when she ran away from home at ten years old. On her journey, she met Luke Castellan and Annabeth Chase. It is said she developed romantic feelings for Luke. They also had brief encounters with the Hunters of Artemis and she was enticed to join them by Zoë Nightshade. When she was twelve, they were all attacked by a herd of monsters and caught by a Cyclops in New York. She was captured, but thanks to Annabeth, was freed. They meet the satyr Grover Underwood on the way. They escaped, but found that the monsters they had briefly escaped had caught up to them. As they reached Half-Blood Hill, Thalia sent Luke, Grover, and Annabeth over the boundary line while she faced the monsters. She sacrificed her life for her friends, and her father, Zeus, took pity on her before she died and transformed her into a white pine tree to prevent her death. She is later brought back to life by the Golden Fleece and joins the quest in The Titan's Curse where she ultimately joins the Hunters of Artemis, taking the place of Zoë Nightshade. At first, she doesn't get along well with Zoë, but later they grow to respect each other. Thalia's fatal flaw is that she has little resistance to power. In Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian, she arrives with the Hunters to help Percy fight Kronos and his army. She fights alongside Percy, Annabeth and Grover for most of the battle. When they are on their way to confront Luke/Kronos, she gets trapped under Hera's statue which was intended for Annabeth and Percy, who were just saved in time by Thalia. She has a younger brother, Jason Grace who was separated from her when she was 10. In The Lost Hero, this is revealed to be the reason she ran away from home. She meets Jason twice in the book and they develop a close bond. When she and Hera come face to face, they have an argument where Thalia blames her for many incidents in which Hera showed her evil colours. She wears a lot of dark makeup and punk style clothing. She has electric blue eyes and spiky black hair. Thalia's personality is so much like Percy's that according to Annabeth, 'they either could be best friends... or worst enemies.'

Tyson

Tyson is a Cyclops, the son of Poseidon and his mother is unknown. He is not a demigod, but at Camp Half-Blood he resides in Percy's cabin, and is Percy's half-brother. He first appears in The Sea of Monsters as a homeless boy. He is afraid of Grover while Grover is also afraid of him. Also in the "Sea of Monsters" he was Percy's best friend and was always picked on. At the end of the book, he gets to go to work for his father, Poseidon in the Underwater Armory. He also accompanies Annabeth on her quest in The Battle of the Labyrinth In The Son of Neptune Tyson is the one who finds Percy's scent. In one of Percy's dreams, Percy tells Tyson to find his harpy friend Ella (who was hiding in the woods in Canada) and bring her to Camp Jupiter. After they meet Percy at Camp Jupiter, Percy noticed how much Ella spoke of Tyson and noticed the two like each other.

Nico di Angelo

Nico di Angelo is Bianca's younger brother, the only known son of Hades. At first Percy assumed Hades broke his agreement with Zeus and Poseidon to not father any more children after World War II, but Nico and Bianca were born before the pact was made, and had been placed in the Lotus Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, a casino that prevents its occupants from aging. This part of Nico and Bianca's background is first hinted at during The Titan's Curse when the gang is forced to enter the Washington Metro to escape a pursuing helicopter. Nico and Bianca both seem to think that the Metro is very new, as it wasn't there "the last time" they went through Washington D.C. - a statement that at first seems ususual, given that they are described as being in their teens, and the first segments of the Washington Metro opened in 1976, well before they would have been born.

It wasn't until over seventy years after they were put up (or a few weeks in Lotus time) that they were finally taken from the hotel by one of Hades's agents (in disguise as a lawyer), who delivered them to Washington, D.C. and then to a college in Maine. Nico typically wields a three-foot-long Stygian iron sword (as opposed to celestial bronze), which not only kills monsters, but also absorbs their essence, and it has been implied that Stygian iron weapons can only be used by denizens of the Underworld.

Nico has the powers of necromancy (ability to reanimate/talk to/control the dead) and some limited control over the earth (in The Titan's Curse he creates a large fissure at Camp Half-Blood that swallows several skeletal warriors that had been sent to kill Percy) shadow travel, and other talents stemming from his father. For a time, he was Percy's enemy, blaming him for the fact that he had failed to protect Bianca as he had promised, but they eventually became friends. Nico tried multiple times to contact his sister and had difficulty contacting her, even using his dreams. Nico refused to stay at Camp Half-Blood in the fourth book after noting that he was not welcomed there; he compares this to the fact that his father is not welcomed at Olympus. Several months later, he informed Percy of a plan that could lead to defeating Kronos.

In the final book, he convinces Percy to bathe in the River Styx, making him invincible, except for a small spot on his back. Even though bringing him to the Underworld under the pretense of bathing in the Styx to become invincible was a trick to get more information about his mother (whom he had forgotten, as the Fury Alecto dipped him in the River Lethe in the Underworld, in accordance with Hades' orders after his mother's death) this plan did follow through, because Hades was highly cryptic in what he told him, and still threw Percy in jail. Nico later helped him escape (after Percy almost strangles him), and Percy, not sure if he was still angry with Nico for tricking him, tells him to stay behind in the Underworld to convince Hades to help the Olympians in the war. He succeeds at this and later helps wear down Kronos's forces. In the end of the final book Percy asks all the gods and goddess to 'claim' all their children and make sure they have cabins in Camp Half-blood. Nico goes back to the camp and makes a cabin for him and all the other minor gods and goddess' children.

In The Lost Hero it is mentioned that he shows up from time to time and that he is also looking for Percy. In The Son of Neptune he is revealed to be Hazel's half-brother and claims to not know Percy. He does this because he thinks Percy has to find his own way among the Romans at Camp Jupiter. At the end of the book, it is mentioned that Nico is captured while looking for the Doors of Death, and that he'll be found in Rome. It leaves readers wondering about his true intetions of rescueing Hazel from the underworld, when Gaea, the Evil Mother Earth, tells Hazel "Yes I used you, but Nico used you and lied about it, you should be happy I captured him"

Jason Grace

Jason Grace is the son of Jupiter, brother of Thalia Grace and one of the main protagonists of The Heroes of Olympus series. He is from a Roman equivalent of Camp Half-Blood called Camp Jupiter that consists of demigods born of the Roman aspect of gods. His memory was stolen by the goddess Hera/Juno. He and Percy Jackson have exchanged places (both involuntarily), because they are the respective leaders at both camps. Jason tries to recall who he is and begins to remember some pieces of his former life. He often shows similar traits to Percy.

Jason has tidily cropped golden blond hair, bright blue eyes, and a scar on the corner of his lip (according to Thalia, he tried to eat a stapler when he was two). He is of average height with athletic build, having muscular tanned arms. He has an intimidating tattoo burned under his forearm: 12 straight lines like a bar code with an eagle (the symbol of Zeus/Jupiter) and the letters "SPQR" over the lines. Jason doesn't remember where he got the marks, but he believes he got them from Camp Jupiter. But according to Rick Riordan (author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series), they represent the twelve years that Jason Grace went to Camp Jupiter; ever since he was four.

Unlike the Greek demigods who are found by satyrs usually and taken to Camp Half-Blood, Roman demigods at a really young age have to find their way to Camp Jupiter from the Wolf House. The story behind Jason finding his way to Camp Jupiter is interesting. Hera/Juno took him from Thailia and his mother at the age two. Their mother claimed that Hera/Juno had taken him and declared him dead. The only reason she had taken him was because Zeus (the Lord of Skies and ruler of all Gods) gave Hera his life as a peace offering so she wouldn't kill Thalia since the original Jason Hera had favored. So after Hera/Juno took Jason and sent him to Lupa, a she-wolf goddess, he spent the next two years of his life training and growing up with Lupa in the Wolf House in Jack London. This is a place where all Roman demigods go to be trained. Then, Lupa sends them south when she thinks they're ready to fight monsters to find Camp Jupiter. But very few demigods don't go south sometimes because they fail Lupa and don't prover their worth. Anyways, Jason finds his way to Camp Jupiter and after several years, he becomes Praetor of the camp, also becoming friends with Reyna who is twelfth Praetor.

After becoming Praetor, he undertakes several quests, just like Percy Jackson did. Then, when both Jason Grace and Percy Jackson become sixteen, they fight the final battle against Kronos after receiving the Great Prophecy. The only difference was they were on opposite sides of the United States and Percy Jackson and his friends played defense of Manhattan and Mount Olympus while Jason Grace and his friends played offense on Mount Othrys (Titan's palace and Atlas' mountain where he holds the sky and the Garden of the Hesperides below the rise of the summit).

The Great Prophecy was fullfilled both ways without both camps knowing that there was another camp. When the news that Mount Othrys just crumbled after Percy Jackson 'destroyed' Kronos, it was just a white lie that Chiron had made to hide the identity of Camp Jupiter being there and destroying the throne and palace. In The Lost Hero, Jason claims that he slew the Trojan sea monsters with his bare hands and toppled the royal throne of Krios.

But the Roman demigods began to wonder why they couldn't visit Mount Olympus. But this was answered in The Lost Hero technically. Jason found out he and his Roman friends couldn't because Percy Jackson and his friends were there and if both camps met one another, there would be bloodshed since both camps are rivals.

So, Jason, Leo, Piper and the other cabin leaders of Camp Half-Blood decide to go to send Jason, Leo, Piper, Annabeth and a few other Greek campers to Camp Jupiter to retrieve Percy. But the building of the Argo II will take eight months in which this is the time that Percy is at the Wolf House training with Lupa. Jason and his crew arrive at Camp Jupiter in the end with Percy, Hazel and Frank most likely meeting them first. And seeing as how Percy hasn't become enemies with Camp Jupiter and Jason has become friends with kids at Camp Half-Blood, the gamble that Hera took of planning to unite the camps seems to be going well. In the next book that is yet to come out, The Mark of Athena, the Greek demigods aboard the Argo II will meet the Roman demigods for the first time and if all goes as planned, the demigods will unite against Gaea and her forces.

Piper McLean

Piper McLean is the daughter of Aphrodite and friend of Jason. At the beginning of The Lost Hero she believes that Jason is her boyfriend due to the Mist. After learning that her memories of Jason are false, she still harbors feelings for him. Unlike most children of Aphrodite, Piper is tomboyish and not concerned with her appearance or fashion. Her father is Tristan McLean, a famous Cherokee actor. Despite being labeled a "bad kid" at the Wilderness School, her "bad" actions are all for her dad's attentions. She uses charmspeak, a rare ability of Aphrodite's children, to convince people to give her things (such as a BMW convertible at a dealership), later getting in trouble for "stealing." Refusing to give in to her cabin's head counselor Drew's bullying, she stands up for her brothers and sisters and challenges Drew for the position, becoming the head counselor.

Like all children of Aphrodite, Piper is described as very beautiful. She has choppy and uneven chocolate brown hair and eyes that change color like a "kaleidoscope" (blue to green to brown). Piper is half-Cherokee from her father's side. She has a slim build and an average height.

Leo Valdez

Leo Valdez is the son of Hephaestus,and a close friend of Jason Grace. At the beginning of The Lost Hero, the Mist has made him believe Jason is his best friend. Later they do actually become best friends. Leo also has the ability to touch and produce fire, a skill that no other son of Hephaestus has had in four hundred years. As a child of Hephaestus, he is also an excellent mechanic. He discovers a secret bunker hidden in the forest and finds a magic tool belt in the bunker which grants him most things he wants (except anything too large or magical). He uses the bunker and tool belt to repair the bronze dragon that was previously running wild in the camp's woods, naming it Festus after his initial mispronunciation of his father's name. When he visits Boreas with Jason and Piper, he is left with 'Cal' because fire and ice do not mix well. He is a joker and cannot keep his hands still, and also falls quickly for girls. He even uses the tool belt to summon breath mints to try to woo Khione, goddess of snow and daughter of Boreas. But she ends up being evil so he falls for Jason's sister, Thalia.

In the novel Leo is described as looking like a "Latino Santa's elf" with curly black hair, dark brown eyes, pointy ears, a cheerful babyish face, and a mischievous smile. He is described as being of normal height with a slim build.

In The Son of Neptune, Hazel Levesque and Percy Jackson both agree that he is either related to Sammy Valdez, or he is Sammy Valdez, Hazel's former boyfriend

Hazel Levesque

Hazel Levesque is the daughter of Pluto, and a friend of Frank Zhang. She appears in The Son of Neptune at Camp Jupiter, the camp for Roman demigods. She grew up in New Orleans, where her mother had a gris-gris shop. She would find precious metals/gems all the time, however anyone who took them suffered a terrible misfortune. Her mother took her to Alaska where Gaia used her to bring Alcyoneus, back to life. Hazel's mother changed her mind about helping Gaea and died. Hazel sacrificed herself to delay Alcyoneus' rebirth. She died in 1942, and at her judgment she gave up the Fields of Elysium to save her mother from punishment, sending them both to Asphodel instead. Hazel has some (Louisiana) Creole blood on her mothers side, and she knows a small amount of French.

When Thanatos was first captured Nico di Angelo went looking for his sister, Bianca, but she was already gone, having chosen to be reborn. Nico gave Hazel a second chance at life, helping her escape the Underworld and taking her to Camp Jupiter. Hazel journeys with Frank and Percy to free Thanatos. She tames Arion, a violent horse that eats precious metals.

Leo Valdez, from The Lost Hero, looks exactly like Hazel's boyfriend, Sammy Valdez, in her past life.

Pluto/Hades is hinted to want her to have a second chance as Thanatos says when asked, that she is not on his list of escaped souls.

Hazel is described as having cocoa-colored skin, and her eyes, as described by Percy, are a 'luminous gold'. Frank, who has an obvious crush on her, describes her hair as 'cinnamon toast' colored, and that she is tiny compared to him.

Frank Zhang

Frank Zhang is the son of Mars and a friend of Hazel Levesque. He appears in The Son of Neptune as a camper at Camp Jupiter. His family is Chinese and his mother recently died in Afhganistan leaving him in the care of his grandmother. When he was a child, Juno came to their family homestead in the form of smoke, saying that the wood creating the smoke is now connected to Frank's life and if it ever burns out he will die too. He later uses the stick to free Thanatos from his ice chains. Luckily, a small portion of the stick wasn't burned and he was still alive.

He is the descendant of Periclymenus, the grandson of Neptune who was granted the power to shape shift. Eventually his descendants were sent to China for slavery. Many years later, their family migrated to Canada where Frank was eventually born. Later, he transformed into an elephant to drag Alcyoneus out of his territory and successfully killed him with Hazel.

He expected himself to be the son of Apollo due to his archery skills and the fact that his last name 'Zhang' Meant master of bows.

He is described as having a babyish face with chubby cheeks and black hair in a military cut. He has a big frame and is stoutly built. He is not always particularly optimistic or sure of himself as he stated in "The Son of Neptune with "Frank hated chocolate muffins. He hated snakes. And he hated his life. Not necessarily in that order."

Olympian gods

• Zeus/Jupiter - The King of the Gods, God of the Sky, Zeus is brother to Poseidon and Hades, uncle to Percy, Nico and Bianca, father of Thalia, son of Kronos. His Roman counterpart is Jupiter, brother to Pluto and Neptune, father to Jason, and uncle to Hazel. He is a principal character in the first book^[1] but is a minor one in the next four, though in the Titans Curse he does answer his daughter Thalia's prayer of help. His cabin is Cabin 1. Poseidon calls Zeus dramatic, saying that he might do better as the God of Theater. His symbol of power is his Master Bolt. In The Lost Hero, Zeus (under the influence of Khione) forbids contact between gods and mortals and closes down Olympus. Despite this, Zeus indirectly aids the demigods several times on their quest, such as answering his son's prayer for aid against Enceladus.^[7]

• Hera/Juno - The Queen of the Gods and the Goddess of Marriage. Hera plays a small role in The Titan's Curse^[8] but is one of the gods who help Percy and the others in their quest in The Battle of the Labyrinth.^[9] At the end of the book, Annabeth and Percy offend her because she did not care that Luke was gone or that Daedalus and Pan were both dead. She especially dislikes Annabeth and curses her as Ares cursed Percy in the 1st book. She thought Luke, Pan and Daedalus were better off gone.^[9] Cabin 2 at Camp Half-Blood is dedicated to her, but is perpetually empty; as the goddess of marriage, she has not given birth to any demigods. In spite of this, Hera meddles with the affairs of many demigods. In The Last Olympian she has a minor role where she congratulates Percy on his victory rather disdainfully and says that she would have to let him and Annabeth live a little longer. She returns as Juno in The Lost Hero in which Percy Jackson has disappeared. She has been kidnapped by Gaia and contacts Jason Grace, the new protagonist and asks him to help her. It is then revealed that as Juno, she sneaked out of Olympus and exchanged Percy and Jason to try to unite the Roman and Greek demigods. She goes against the wishes of Zeus in this regard because she wants to save everyone – gods, demigods and mortals from the new evil. Juno also admits that she is bitter towards heroes and demigods because she does not have any of her own. Juno, Hera's Roman counterpart, is more warrior-like and more disciplined and rebellious. Juno even states that Hera would not have disobeyed Zeus, but Juno would.^[10] In The Son Of Neptune, Juno is disguised as an old lady and gives Percy a test to either save her and possibly save him or to save himself and forget the rest of the world.

• Aphrodite/Venus - The Goddess of Love, Beauty, Lust, etc. She is mentioned in The Lightning Thief and appears briefly in The Titan's Curse. Her children (mostly girls) live in Cabin 10. Her appearance changes as Percy looks at her, matching every female he has ever had a crush on (one being Annabeth). She encourages Percy to pursue a quest for true love. She is shown to have interest in Percy's feelings towards Annabeth and promises to make Percy's love life hard. She appears again at the Council of the Gods and votes to let Percy live. Aphrodite is also the last child of Ouranos.^[8] Aphrodite is also the mother of Silena Beurguard Piper McLean, a main character in The Lost Hero, and changes her daughter's tomboyish appearance twice to make her look more beautiful.^[11]

• Apollo - The God of the Sun, Poetry, and the Oracle. The campers in Cabin 7 are his children. He drives a flying red convertible, a Maserati Spyder, that glows brightly like the sun. He appears to be about 18 or 19 years old and has sandy colored hair and dazzling white teeth. Apollo wears Ray-Ban sunglasses and sports an iPod. Percy notes that he looks similar to Luke, but less evil. He also loves to recite poetry, especially haiku after he supposedly visited Japan. Percy describes them as so bad that he would rather be shot by an arrow than listen to one, but Zoë says his limerick days were much worse. Apollo helps Percy and his friends by flying them to Camp Half-Blood in The Titan's Curse and later helping them after they got off of a train while being disguised as a homeless man.^[8] In The Last Olympian, he heals Annabeth's broken arm after she was thrown into her mother's throne.^[12] At the end of the war between the Titans and the gods, Rachel is certified as the new Oracle by Apollo. His name is both Greek and Roman.

• Ares/Mars - The God of War and Bloodlust. His children are the campers in Cabin 5. He first encounters Percy in The Lightning Thief. Ares drives a large, black, Harley-Davidson motorcycle with a flame-patterned paint job, a boar themed antenna, handles, boar's head shaped red headlight and a leather seat made from human skin. He wears red wraparound sunglasses that cover his eyes, which are flames, a bulletproof vest, combat boots, black leather biker clothes, and a black leather duster. His face is covered with scars from many fights. Once, Ares sends Percy, Grover and Annabeth to retrieve his shield, which he left behind after a date with Aphrodite.

• Artemis/Diana - The Goddess of the Moon, Wild Animals, and the Hunt. She is the twin sister of Apollo.

She is a maiden goddess and bears no demigod children. She has a prominent role in The Titan's Curse. Artemis appears to be about 12 years old. She has auburn hair and silvery-yellow eyes, the color of the full moon. Artemis leads a group of teenaged girls known as the Hunters of Artemis. The Hunters pledge to give up love in exchange for immortality. The Hunters never grow up and can only die if they are killed in battle or break their oath. Artemis leaves the Hunters to pursue a monster that has the potential to destroy Olympus. She is trapped by Atlas and is forced to hold up the sky. She is rescued by Percy who holds the sky for her so she can fight Atlas. Artemis and Percy trick Atlas into holding the sky again. Artemis transforms Zoë into a constellation after she is killed in battle. She seems to like Percy, saying that he's okay for a boy, and later refers to him as a man. She speaks up for Percy, Annabeth and Thalia at the Council of the Gods and votes for Percy to live. Thalia joins her hunt at the end of The Titan's Curse, preventing her from fulfilling the Oracle's prophecy.^[8] Artemis did not follow Zeus' order to not have contact with mortals by still communicating with her Hunters. Thalia states, "Artemis follows her own rules," even though she does this without Zeus' knowledge. She sent Thalia to find Jason, Thalia's long-lost brother. All satyrs are also reported to have a crush on her because of her being "so into nature"^[13]

• Athena/Minerva - The Goddess of Wisdom and Battle Strategy. She first appears in The Titan's Curse, where she is shown to dislike Percy and his relationship with Athena's daughter, Annabeth.^[8] Athena is described as being beautiful but also serious and foreboding. She has intense grey eyes, as do almost all of her children who reside in Cabin 6. In The Demigod Files, she has black hair, but in other books, she is depicted as having blonde hair, like her children. Athena considers Percy to be very dangerous as he has the potential of fulfilling the Prophecy that a child of one of the Big Three will destroy Olympus. She advises Percy that wise counsel is not always the most popular, and cautions him about his fatal flaw. She also votes not to let Percy live. Percy considers Athena one of the most dangerous beings he has encountered, noting that because of her calculating intelligence, her plans rarely fail.

• Demeter/Ceres - The Goddess of the Harvest and Agriculture. She is first mentioned in The Sea of Monsters, when He is talking to Percy about the quest.^[14] She was also one of the goddesses who voted to keep Percy alive in The Titan's Curse.^[8] Demeter made three brief appearances along with her daughter Persephone in The Last Olympian, notably when she participates in the battle against the Titans.

At Camp Half Blood, he is known as "Mr. D."^[1] He is shown to hate his job and have a low opinion of demigods stemming from Theseus' abandonment of Ariadne (his wife). His children live in Cabin 12.^[1] He can be seen playing with the satyrs in camp.^[14] He appears in all the books. In The Battle of the Labyrinth, he goes out to search for the minor gods and returns at the end of the book.^[9] He rarely bothers to call the campers by their proper names, making a point of calling Percy Jackson names such as 'Peter Johnson', 'Perry Johansson', or 'Pierre Jorgenson' throughout the series. He also calls Annabeth 'Annie Bell' or 'that Anne girl', regardless of the fact that she has been in Camp Half-Blood since she was seven years old. He is portrayed as a good father though showing genuine sadness at his sons death in the battle of the labyrinth. Though he has said that Percy "always manages to annoy him," he has saved Percy's and Annabeth's life several times. His son Dakota at Camp Jupiter is addicted to red Kool-Aid.

• Hades/Pluto - The God of the Underworld, Hades is brother to Poseidon and Zeus, father of Nico and Bianca di Angelo as well as Hazel Levesque, uncle to Percy Jackson, Jason Grace and Thalia Grace, son of Kronos.

In exchange for having the sword returned, Percy made Hades swear on the River Styx not to use the weapon against the gods. Afterwards, Hades agreed and left angrily now realizing that Persephone disobeyed him and made the Sword of Hades against his wishes. In The Last Olympian, Hades traps Percy when Nico leads him to the Underworld palace. He plans to put him in the dungeon until Nico turns sixteen, so Nico can fulfill the prophecy.

He is the father of Charles Beckendorf and Leo Valdez. He was thrown off of Mount Olympus when he was born because Hera thought he was hideous and wanted a "perfect" family, though Hera denies it. Hephaestus says that Hera likes telling the story that Zeus threw him off the cliff because "it makes her seem more likable." He defied Zeus' rule in The Lost Hero and spoke to his son where he mentioned that he was displeased that Percy declined Zeus' offer for immortality following Kronos' defeat. He also took the head of Festus to Bunker 9 for Leo and commanded his children there to build the Argo II with Festus' head as the figurehead.^[15]

• Hermes/Mercury - The Messenger of the Gods and the God of Travelers, Communication, and Thieves. All of his children stay in Cabin 11.

He is bitter about Luke's situation and gets angry at Annabeth in The Last Olympian for not saving him when she had the choice.^[12]

• Hestia/Vesta - The Goddess of Hearth and Home. She first appears as a young girl, about 8 years old, who wears a simple brown dress and scarf. Percy sees her when he enters Camp Half-Blood for the first time, but does not speak to her (in Percy Jackson and the lightning thief). Percy and Nico encounter her in The Last Olympian when she gives them food. She has glowing eyes that remind Percy of a cozy fire. Hestia tends to the hearth in Olympus while the other gods battle Typhon. Hestia gave up her throne for Dionysus in order to prevent a civil war among the Olympians. She explains to Percy that one of the greatest powers is to yield in order to retain peace. Percy offers Pandora's jar to Hestia, as she is the Last Olympian and Hope survives best at the hearth. Hestia accepts, preventing Percy from being tempted to open it. She later helps Percy when he battles Kronos by making her hearth painfully hot for Kronos when he reaches to get his scythe when it fell into the flames. When Percy looks into her eyes, he can sometimes see the past or the future, such as what happened before Annabeth, Thalia and Luke came to Camp Half-Blood.

In The Last Olympian, Percy falls unconscious in the ocean and lands at Poseidon's castle. Poseidon is at war with Oceanus, the Titan god of the ocean, and makes Percy go back to camp instead of helping him. He is one of the few gods that does not go and help in the effort to defeat Typhon until Percy tells him that the only way to win is to abandon the sea and fight Typhon. His symbol of power is the trident.^[12]

• Jay - A son of Aphrodite mentioned in The Titans Curse.

• Katie Gardner - A daughter of Demeter who is the head counselor for cabin 4 at Camp Half-Blood, as seen in The Last Olympian. Miranda Gardiner is her deputy, taking over in winter because Katie is not a year-rounder. She fights in and survives the war between gods and the Titans. Katie strongly dislikes the Stoll twins, because they once put chocolate Easter bunnies on the Demeter cabin's grass roof. She is the cousin of Percy Jackson, Thalia Grace, Nico di Angelo and Bianca di Angelo.^[12]

• Kayla - A daughter of Apollo. She is mentioned by Michael Yew in The Last Olympian.

• Laurel - Daughter of Aphrodite mentioned in The Titans Curse, by Silena Beauregard.

• Malcolm - A son of Athena. He is the assistant counselor of the Athena cabin. He leads Athena's cabin to a bridge or tunnel in The Last Olympian. His last name is never revealed.^[12] He walks in on Percy and Annabeth hugging in The Battle of The Labyrinth.

• Mark - A son of Ares. He is mentioned by Percy once in The Demigod Files in the short story Percy Jackson and the Stolen Chariot when Percy asks Clarisse which of her brothers played a prank on her.^[16] He may have been the one that Percy awoke from a midday nap in The Titan's Curse. It is also a possibility that he was the son of Ares fighting Phoebe on a basketball court.^[8]

• Michael Yew - A son of Apollo. He is the leader of the Apollo Cabin after Lee Fletcher died in The Battle of the Labyrinth. He is described as very short, four foot six, with personality that makes up for his height, and a face that reminds Percy of a ferret. In The Demigod Files, in an interview with Clarisse, she mentions that she would want to pulverize Michael, thus stating that they are enemies. Percy finds it very interesting that he's the counselor. He is supposedly killed leading a group of demigods in the fight against Kronos' army. Percy looked everywhere for him, but only found his bow. He is presumed deceased, although this was never confirmed.^[12]

• Miranda Gardiner - Miranda is a daughter of Demeter who first appears in The Lost Hero and is the counselor of her cabin. Miranda had her nose (temporarily) removed by Lou Ellen, a daughter of Hecate.

• Mitchell - Mitchell is a son of Aphrodite who befriends Piper McLean in The Lost Hero.

She is Praetor at camp Jupiter

• Silena Beauregard - A daughter of Aphrodite and the head of Cabin 10. Percy regards her as one of the nicer girls of the cabin and acknowledges that she is pretty, but still finds her to be a "neat freak". She participates in the Battle of the Labyrinth.^[9] She does not think that she is a good fighter and feels that she does not do anyone any good at camp (though is said to be the best equestrian). She unveils her hatred towards the Hunters of Artemis, who say that love is worthless, to which she responds by stating that she is going to "pulverize" them. Silena is killed by a drakon when she fights it while pretending to be Clarisse in The Last Olympian. It is also revealed in The Last Olympian that she was the spy giving Kronos information about what was going on at Camp Half-Blood. When the Stoll brothers ask Percy about it, he will not let Silena be remembered as a spy. She did, however, want to stop being the spy when her boyfriend Charles Beckendorf died (charming her with his looks, Luke had promised that fewer lives would be lost and that Charles would be safe), but was blackmailed by Luke when he threatened to reveal her betrayal. This causes Silena to become even weaker or as Percy described, "She looked like glass. Like she was going to break at any time." Percy also notes that no one says the word "spy" during the burning of her shroud (which was hot pink with an electric spear embroidered on it).^[12]

• Sherman - A son of Ares. He, like Mark (another son of Ares), is mentioned by Percy in The Demigod Files in the short story Percy Jackson and the Stolen Chariot, when Percy asks Clarisse which of her brothers played a prank on her.^[16] He also may have been the one that Percy awoke from a midday nap in The Titan's Curse.^[8]

• Travis Stoll - One of the children of Hermes. He and his brother become the new counselors of cabin 11 after Luke went to Kronos. Travis is the older brother of Connor Stoll. Both are known to be crafty and mischievous. Percy finds it ironic that their last name is Stoll, like the word 'stole'. His and his brother's shenanigans incapacitated a member of Artemis's Huntresses (Phoebe), which enabled Percy to join the quest of The Titan's Curse.^[8] He and his brother have a larger role in The Last Olympian and both survive.^[12]

• Will Solace - He is a son of Apollo whom Percy took to heal Annabeth in The Last Olympian and become the leader of the Apollo Cabin as seen in The Lost Hero.^[12]

When she planned to defeat Hylla, Otrera plans to have the Amazons help Gaea and the Giants destroy Camp Jupiter. Hylla manages to defeat Otrera twice until Thanatos is freed from the chains where he was trapped, making sure she would not rise from the dead and challenge her again.

• Ariadne - Ariadne once helped Theseus when it fell to him to slay the Minotaur. When Theseus unknowingly left Ariadne on the island of Naxos, she was found by Dionysus who married her. Theseus "abandoning" Ariadne is one of the reasons why Dionysus dislikes heroes. Ariadne made an appearance at the end of "The Titan's Curse" where she was walking arm in arm with Dionysus on olympus.

• Circe - Circe ran a magical beauty boutique in the Sea of Monsters. She was glamorous and went by the alias of C.C. While she treated females at her spa, she turned males into guinea pigs. When Percy was turned into a guinea pig, Annabeth managed to use Hermes' multivitamins to become immune to Circe's spells and escaped with the guinea pigs. Not knowing which one is Percy, Annabeth feeds them all multivitamins restoring Circe's victims to normal. They then destroy her spa and power.

• Daedalus - Inventor of the Labyrinth, son of Athena, and father of Icarus. Daedalus killed his nephew Perdix and took his notes, which he then used to cast his animus (soul) into automatons after Athena branded him with the murderer's brand. He originally owned a hellhound named Mrs. O'Leary and fights the Titan army toward the end of the fourth book. He later decides that it is time to go to the Underworld and leaves Annabeth his laptop which is filled with his notes and ideas. Nico unleashes Daedalus' spirit which destroys the labyrinth. When in the Underworld, King Minos tried to convince the other judges to punish him and fails. Daedalus' spirit now works as the Underworld's architect while being able to visit Icarus (his son who died when he flew to close to the sun) and Perdix on weekends.^[9]

• The Fates - The three women who control the threads of life. In The Lightning Thief Percy and Grover encounter them at an old-fashioned fruit stand. In "The Last Olympian," the Fates take Luke's dead body away after the Second Olympian War.

King Lycaon escaped when the Hunters of Artemis stopped him.

• King Midas - King Midas was a king who had the Golden Touch. He was referenced in "The Battle of the Labyrinth" where he states that Rachel's gold appearance made her look like she was touched by King Midas. In "The Lost Hero" King Midas was among the dead people brought back to life when the Doors of Death opened in Omaha, Nebraska. When Jason, Piper, and Leo arrived at Midas' mansion, he was polite. Midas told them that it was a silly story that he learned his lesson when he touched his daughter, turning her into solid gold. Midas touched Piper's backpack, turning it into flexible gold and making it magic, proving he still had the magic touch. Midas admitted that he had sometimes pat his son Lityerses on the back accidentally, but he always had the river to rinse it off. Midas finally revealed he was working for the Giants and turned Leo and Piper into gold. He gave Jason a choice: turn into a nice gold statue for his collection or fight Lityerses and die. Jason fought Lityerses and Midas. Midas and his son fought off the Hunters of Artemis before Jason managed to defeat Lityerses and unfreeze Piper and Leo.

• King Minos - King Minos is a former king who is one of the Judges of the Underworld. Nico summons in The Battle of the Labyrinth where he pretends to advise him on how to bring Bianca back from the dead he is when really trying to bring himself back. He is also seen as a live king in Percy's dreams/flashbacks. Near the end of the book, it is revealed that he is serving his own dark purpose when he kidnaps Nico and tries to kill Deadalus and use his knowledge. When Daedalus ends up in the Underworld following his sacrifice, King Minos tried to convince the other two judges to punish him and fails. He is known in mythology for commissioning the labyrinth to trap the minotaur^[9]

• King Sisyphus - A former ruler of Corinth. He had committed violations of guest hospitality, seduced his niece, plotted to kill his brother Salmoneus, and told the River God Asopus where Zeus had his daughter. His major crimes involved cheating death twice. The first where he tricked Thanatos into showing him how the chains worked causing Thanatos to be trapped until Ares freed him (Thanatos being trapped displeased Ares since no one in battle could die). The second time was when he complained to Persephone that his wife Merope did not give him a proper funeral and sent Sisyphus' spirit to the living. Even when Sisyphus did not want to return to the Underworld, he was forcefully dragged back there by Hermes. His punishment in The Fields of Punishment was to push a boulder up a hill; when it reached the top, the boulder would roll back to the bottom and Sisyphus was condemned to begin again. He appears in The Demigod Files in the story titled The Sword of Hades when Percy and Nico ask him advice while Thalia pushes the boulder up the hill. He does not really help them much, but he does say that he helped someone else. He said that he told that other person to go see Melinoe. Therefore, Percy and his friends go to see Melinoe as Sisyphus begs for them to set him free from his punishment as being here was a minor set-back.^[17]

• King Tantalus - Tantalus is the spirit of a king from the Fields of Punishment who is the son of Zeus. He ended up there after killing his son Pelops, cutting him up, and serving him as food to the Gods. His punishment in the Fields of Punishment was to stand under a fruit tree in the middle of a lake. When he tried to pluck the fruit to eat, the branches of the tree rose out of his reach and when he bent down to drink the water, the level would retreat. Tantalus became "tantalised" by having food and drink close to him, but unable to enjoy either. He becomes the activities director at Camp Half-Blood after Chiron is fired. He appears in The Sea of Monsters as a minor character. Even when hired as the activities director, he could not eat or drink as the food kept evading him. Tantalus is shown to hate Percy and his friends even more than he hates most half-bloods, yet shows favoritism to Clarisse, as when naming her hero when the camp was attacked by Colchis Bulls or when she wins the chariot race and throwing a banquet in her honor. When the camp is attacked by a large flock of Stymphalian birds, Tantalus blames it on Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson's "bad chariot driving" despite that they were the ones who defeated the birds. When Tyson is brought to camp, Tantalus insults and makes fun of him even when Tyson is claimed by Poseidon. At the end of the book, his curse is lifted by Dionysus just before he is sent back to the Underworld as he attempts to take some food along, though none of the campers are sad to see him go.

• Lityerses - Lityerses is the son of King Midas. In The Lost Hero, he appeared alongside his father.

• Medea - A sorceress and granddaughter of Helios who Jason, Piper, and Leo encountered in "The Lost Hero." She is the head of a mall in Chicago that Jason, Piper, and Leo visit. Medea begins to show the demigods her stock of magic objects and potions, but becomes angry when she hears Jason's name (as he is named after the hero who betrayed her). It quickly becomes evident to Piper that Medea is an agent of Gaia, and the one who Hera had warned them about. Jason and Leo however are entranced by the magic in Medea's voice which tells them to attack and kill one another. Piper manages to bring the two to their senses and they blow up the mall. Medea shouts that she will not be abandoned again, causing the three to leave quickly before she makes another attempt to destroy them.

• Octavian - A descendant of Apollo who works as a senator at Camp Jupiter as seen in The Son of Neptune. He reads the Auguries and wished for power.

• Phineas - A blind seer who appears in The Son of Neptune. Percy Jackson finds him in Portland where the Harpies are trying to steal his food. Before he dies from Gaea making him choose a poisoned cup, he reveals to Percy the location of Alcyoneus' camp.

• Oracle of Delphi - Apollo's Oracle of Delphi resided in the mummified remains of its host until its power was transferred to Rachel Elizabeth Dare in The Last Olympian. The Oracle's power originally passed from the deceased oracle to a newly chosen oracle; however, at the end of the World War II, the oracle gave a Great Prophecy predicting a child of the Big Three (Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades) would determine whether or not the gods would be preserved or destroyed. Using this information, the Big Three entered a pact in which none would continue to sire heroes. Before this, Hades bore two young children, Nico di Angelo and Bianca di Angelo. Zeus, fearing that either were the children of the prophecy, destroyed the hotel where the di Angelos lived with his master bolt, killing Maria di Angelo, Hades' lover. In revenge, Hades cursed the Oracle to ensure that the power of the Oracle of Delphi would not pass on to someone else, in the hope that it would soon return to the dust. After the Battle of Manhattan in which Hades and Nico successfully assist in the defense of Mount Olympus, Zeus honors the Lord of the Dead. In response to his newfound respect from the other gods, he lifts the curse, allowing the Oracle's power to pass on into Rachel Elizabeth Dare, the last Oracle.^[12]

• Sphinx - A Sphinx is a monster with the head of a woman and the body of a lion. Percy Jackson and his friends encountered the Sphinx while navigating the labyrinth. Rather than tell riddles, the Sphinx asked historical questions which Annabeth refused to answer as an insult to her intelligence.

Mortals

• Darrin - One of the many people in the Lotus Casino. He is described as about thirteen, and "some Elvis impersonator's son". Percy meets him at a Virtual reality shooter game. He has apparently been in the Lotus Casino since 1977.

• Gabriel "Gabe" Ugliano - Known as "Smelly Gabe," he was Percy's stepfather. In appearance, he is heavy and bald, wearing thrift store clothes often. He managed the Electronics Mega-Mart in Queens as an occupation. As Percy described him in The Lightning Thief, he "was nice the first thirty seconds we knew him, then showed his true colors as a world-class jerk." During summer break from school, Gabe asks him for money for beer and for his poker games with his friends.^[21] Supposedly he can easily guess how much money a person has. It is implied that, at least once, he hit Percy's mother. Grover later tells Percy that Sally (Percy's mother) married Gabe to protect Percy from monsters who would have tracked him down otherwise. He smelled so "repulsively human" that his smell hid Percy's demigod scent from monsters. If she had not married him, monsters would have found Percy sooner. At the end of Book 1, he is turned to stone by Percy's mother (using Medusa's severed head) and sold as a statue called "The Poker Player" earning lots of money in the process.^[1]

• May Castellan - Luke's mother who attempted to become the Oracle. Since Hades's power prevented her from taking it, she was driven crazy and instead received small glimpses of her son's terrible future.^[12] She made huge amounts of sandwiches, burnt cookies, and Kool-Aid for Luke, believing that someday he would return home. She also gave him a blessing to receive the curse of Achilles. It was shown that she had numerous clippings of Hermes from advertisements and many beanbag monsters sitting in the house and on the front lawn.

• Dr. Frederick Chase - Annabeth's father. He first appears in The Titan's Curse. He allows Percy, Thalia and Zoë to borrow his car to drive to Mount Tamalpais (Mount Othrys). Annabeth's father is a professor of military history. During The Titan's Curse, he was studying the Third Battle of Ypres. He owns a Sopwith Camel. He and his daughter had a lot of disagreements in the past, which is why she ran away from home when she was seven years old. He lives in San Francisco with his wife and two sons, Bobby and Matthew. In The Titan's Curse, he battles the monsters on the Princess Andromeda with bullets melded with celestial bronze.

• Mrs. Dare - Rachel's mother. She briefly appears in The Last Olympian. She went to Clarion Ladies' Academy, a finishing school for society girls in New Hampshire, and wants Rachel to go there as well.^[12]

• Ms. Grace - Mother to Jason and Thalia Grace, and the first known mortal to bear children of different aspects of the same God, Zeus/Jupiter.

• Paul "Blowfish" Blofis - Sally Jackson's boyfriend and later husband, and thus Percy's stepfather. Percy and his mother reveal to Paul the truth, and at first he only half believes them. When Percy, Nico, and Mrs. O'Leary come unexpectedly into Sally's apartment, Paul fully believes, and thinks it's "awesome!". Paul turns out to be an excellent swordsman due to the fact that he was a Shakespearian actor in college and assists in the fight to save Olympus in The Last Olympian. He asks Percy for permission before proposing to Percy's mother which Percy grants.^[12]

• Preacher - A preacher who raised money supposedly for orphans and spent it instead on his mansion until he was caught by the police. He died in a police chase when he drove his "Lamborghini for the Lord" off a cliff. He was carried off to the Fields of Punishment by some ghouls in the Greek Underworld. The Preacher believed himself to be in Hell.^[1]

• Rachel Elizabeth Dare - A clear-sighted mortal girl who is able to see through the Mist. She is first encountered by Percy during The Titan's Curse as he flees from the skeletons summoned by Atlas. After mistaking her for a monster and trying to slice her with he sword he realises she is human, Percy discovers that she can see through the Mist. She then leads the skeletons away from Percy.^[8] Rachel goes to the same school as Percy in "The Battle of the Labyrinth," realizing that the cheerleaders are actually empousai. In The Battle of the Labyrinth, she aids Annabeth and Percy by guiding them through the labyrinth to Daedalus's workshop. From there she, Percy, Annabeth, and Nico escape, only to enter again to locate Grover and Tyson. She is present at the deathbed of Lord Pan and, like the others, takes part of his essence within her. By throwing her hairbrush at Kronos, she provided enough of a distraction for Percy to escape the Titan Lord's time manipulation. It is hinted throughout the series that she harbors romantic feelings for Percy.^[9] In The Last Olympian, she begins having strange visions and becomes the new Oracle of Delphi after Hades's curse is lifted, under the guidance of Chiron and Apollo. Her first act as the Oracle is to deliver the Great Prophecy about the next generation of heroes.

• Sally Jackson - The daughter of Jim and Laura Jackson. She is the mother of Percy and she was married to "Smelly Gabe". She then turned him to stone with the head of Medusa, and married Paul Blofis in the fifth book.^[12] In the beginning of the series, Sally works at a candy shop called "Sweet on America" and said that she wanted to be an author when she was young.^[1] In the third book, Percy guesses that Sally can see through the Mist and he believes that this was probably the reason Poseidon took interest in her. In the first book, she was thought to be killed by the Minotaur, but it was discovered that she survived and that she was still alive, but in the clutches of Hades. Sallly was freed when Percy gave the Helm of Darkness (which was also stolen by Luke) to the Furies. ^[1] Percy is very close to his mother and after failing to contact Annabeth, she is the first person he calls in the "son of Neptune".

• William Dare - He is Rachel Elizabeth Dare's father, who first appears in The Last Olympian. He owns a land development company and is very rich. His family lives in a mansion in Brooklyn, where Rachel lives on the top floor. Rachel hates her father because of his job, but he seems to care about her. He said that he and her mother had really been looking forward to the vacation, but, according to Rachel, they both hate the beach, and are just too stubborn to admit it. He supported Rachel's going to finishing school. He walked into Rachel's room in Percy's dream, wearing pajamas with "WD" monogrammed on the pocket.^[12]
