question

Percy Jackson

answer

Perseus "Percy" Jackson (nicknamed Seaweed Brain by Annabeth) is a 12- 16 year-old demigod, the son of Sally Jackson and Poseidon.As a child of Poseidon, he has hydrokinetic powers—the ability to mentally manipulate water and can breath under water]—which develop over the course of the series, culminating in the ability to create a small hurricane in "the Last Olympian" andThe Son of Neptune. Additionally, full or partial immersion in water can heal or energize him, he is immune to water pressure, and he can see and breathe underwater at any depth. Due to Poseidon's creation of horses, Percy can also communicate with equestrian animals such as Pegasi and Hippocampi. He also has an enchanted sword called Anaklusmos (Greek for "Riptide") given to him by Chiron as a gift from Poseidon. The sword's magic disguises it as a ballpoint pen when not in use and returns it to Percy's pocket if it becomes lost. Percy is disliked by several of the Olympian gods. Among them are Dionysus (who dislikes all demigods on principle), Athena (who is his girlfriend's mother and his father's rival), Ares (who has fought him and lost when he was an unknowing accomplice of Luke in the first book), Hera (who has interfered in his quests) and Hades (who considers him an upstart). However, there are also gods who respect him such as Artemis, Apollo, Hestia, Hermes, and his father Poseidon. Zeus has mixed feelings for him..

She got her chance when Percy Jackson came along.

question

Grover Underwood

answer

Grover Underwood is a friend of Percy Jackson and a satyr. In the series, satyrs are charged with identifying demigods living in the mortal world. Grover has found four of the most powerful ones: Percy Jackson, Thalia Grace, and Nico and Bianca di Angelo, all children of the Big Three. After serving as Percy's protector in The Lightning Thief, he became a searcher, a coveted job among satyrs enabling him to seek the lost god Pan. Before leaving, he forms a psychic bond with Percy, called an empathy link, allowing them a limited degree of telepathic communication across great distances. In The Sea of Monsters, Grover is captured by Polyphemus and uses this ability to guide Percy to his rescue. He joins Percy's quest to find Artemis in The Titan's Curse, and in the process falls in love with a tree nymph named Juniper. He eventually finds Pan, who peacefully dies, and eventually gains recognition from the elder satyrs for his courage in battle against the Titans where he led along Percy.

question

Thalia Grace

answer

Thalia Grace is a demigod, a daughter of Zeus. She is the older sister of Jason and a cousin of Percy Jackson, Bianca and Nico Di Angelo, and Hazel Levesque. She ran away from home at age ten. Grover Underwood was assigned to watch over her and ONLY her during her journey to Camp Half-Blood, during which she met Luke Castellan and Annabeth Chase. Their party arrived at the camp with a band of monsters pursuing them; Thalia confronted the monsters, allowing Grover and the other demigods to escape to the magically protected Camp Half-Blood. The monsters overpowered her, but Zeus took pity on her sacrifice, transforming her into a pine tree to save her from death. Percy and his friends restore Thalia to life with the power of the Golden Fleece, and she joins them for the quest in The Titan's Curse. She soon joined the Hunters of Artemis, a band of ageless warrior girls in service to the goddess Artemis. In The Last Olympian, she and the other Hunters help fight the Titan army of Kronos.

question

Tyson

answer

Tyson is a cyclops and a son of Poseidon. While he is not a demigod, he resides with his half-brother Percy at Camp Half-blood. He first appears in The Sea of Monsters as a homeless boy. Percy and Tyson are friends, but many of the other demigods at camp taunted him for his uncouth, simple nature. After proving himself on Percy's quest for the Golden Fleece, Poseidon allows Tyson to come work in his underwater forges. Subsequently, he communicates with Percy chiefly through Iris's rainbow network, Iris Message. On later occasions in the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series, he leads other cyclopes from the forges in battle against Typhon.

question

Nico di Angelo

answer

Nico di Angelo is a 10-13 year-old demigod, the only known son of Hades and the younger brother of Bianca di Angelo. Nico's Roman half-sister is Hazel Levesque, a daughter of Hades' Roman counterpart, Pluto; Nico's and Bianca's existence initially seem to prove treachery on the part of Hades, who joined Zeus and Poseidon after World War II in swearing not to father any more half-blood children. In fact, the di Angelos had been born before WWII, and were kept in the Lotus Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, where time behaves differently and people don't age. Over 70 years passed before one of Hades's Furies, Alecto, removed them from the Lotus to Washington, D.C. Subsequently, the siblings grew up in a boarding school in Maine, Westover Hall. Unlike most demigods, he does not live at Camp Half-Blood or Camp Jupiter.

question

answer

Luke Castellan is a 14-18 year-old demigod, the son of Hermes and May Castellan. Introduced as the friendly head counselor of the Hermes cabin in The Lightning Thief, he is soon revealed as an antagonist and a servant of Kronos. Luke held a grudge against the gods after his father didn't help him when his mother would shake him because she could see his future after trying to become the oracle but was driven insane in the process. After running away from home at age nine, he arrived in Camp Half-Blood with Annabeth, Thalia, and Grover. Subsequently, he stole Zeus's master thunderbolt, poisoned Thalia in her tree form in The Sea of Monsters, and kidnapped Annabeth in The Titan's Curse.

question

Jason Grace

answer

Jason Grace is a 15-16 year-old demigod, a son of Jupiter, brother of Thalia Grace, and a protagonist of the Heroes of Olympus series. He comes from Camp Jupiter, the Roman equivalent of Greek Camp Half-Blood, where demigods born to the Olympians' Roman aspects receive their training. Unbeknownst to the people in Camp Half-Blood, Jason led Camp Jupiter in a concurrent war against the Titans. While Percy led the defense of Olympus in Manhattan, Jason led an assault against Mount Othrys, a Titan stronghold near San Francisco.

question

Leo Valdez

answer

Leo Valdez is a 15 year-old demigod, a son of Hephaestus. He befriends Jason at Camp Half-Blood. Leo also has the ability to touch and produce fire, a skill that no son of Hephaestus has had in 400 years. He is also an excellent mechanic due to his father's abilities and has experience working with machines, as his mother was a mechanic. In The Lost Hero, he discovers a secret bunker hidden in the forest near camp, which contains a magic tool belt that grants him almost anything he wants. He uses the bunker and tool belt to repair a bronze dragon that was previously running wild in the camp's woods, naming it Festus after his initial mispronunciation of his father's name. Leo is a joker who cannot keep his hands still, and he tends to fall quickly for girls.

question

Piper McLean

answer

Piper McLean a 15 year-old demigod, a daughter of Aphrodite. She is the girlfriend of Jason Grace. Unlike most children of Aphrodite, Piper is tomboyish, unconcerned with her appearance or fashion. Her father is Tristan McLean, a famous Cherokee actor. She has the ability to use charmspeak, a power of persuasion and a rare ability in Aphrodite's children. She has unwittingly used this power to talk people into giving her things, such as a BMW convertible, and been accused of theft in the process. At Camp Half-Blood, she refuses to give in to the bullying of her cabin's head counselor, and eventually successfully challenges her for the position. She can speak French as she is a daughter of Aphrodite and French is the language of love.

question

Hazel Levesque

answer

Hazel Levesque is a 13 year-old demigod, a daughter of Pluto at Camp Jupiter, where she is friends with Frank Zhang, who has romantic feelings for her. She grew up in New Orleans, where her mother had a gris-gris shop. Due to her heritage from Pluto, and her mother's greedy wish for all the riches under the earth, precious metals and gems would frequently come up from the ground near her when she got nervous or summoned them. However, these materials were badly cursed, and brought misfortune to anyone who took them. Hazel's mother took her to Alaska where Gaea tried to use Hazel's power over earth to bring forth the giant Alcyoneus. When Hazel's mother changed her mind about helping Gaea, Hazel buried herself and her mother by calling on the riches beneath the earth, and delaying Alcyoneus's rebirth. She died in 1942, and gave up the chance to go to Elysium to save her mother from punishment, sending them both to Asphodel instead. Her mother was Louisiana Creole, so Hazel knows a small amount of French.

question

Frank Zhang

answer

Frank Zhang is a 16 year-old demigod, a son of Mars at Camp Jupiter, where he is friends with Hazel Levesque whom he also has a crush on. He is Chinese Canadian, and grew up with his grandmother after his mother was killed serving in the Canadian Army. Upon Percy's arrival at Camp Jupiter, Frank is the first to accept him. Frank has a meek disposition, and is uncomfortable upon learning his father's identity. He suspected himself a son of Apollo, given his skill with a bow and arrow, his preferred weapon. On his quest in The Son of Neptune, however, he uses an enchanted spear given to him by Mars when threatened by basilisks. To Frank's surprise, the spear summons a skeleton warrior that defeats the basilisks. Frank is a descendant of Periclymenus, a grandson of Poseidon with the power to shapeshift. Periclymenus's descendants were sold into slavery in China, and migrated to Canada many years later. While battling Alcyoneus (who is invincible within Alaska), Frank tapped into this power and transformed into an elephant after dragging Alcyoneus to across the state line to Canada where he could be killed.

question

Olympians

answer

...

question

Zeus/Jupiter

answer

The King of the Gods and God of the Sky. Zeus is brother to Poseidon and Hades, uncle to Percy, Nico, and Bianca, father of Thalia, and son of Kronos. Jupiter is brother to Pluto and Neptune, father to Jason, and uncle to Hazel. His symbol of power is his Master Bolt. He is prominent in The Lightning Thief, but has only small roles in the rest of Percy Jackson & the Olympians. In The Lost Hero, under the influence of Khione, Zeus forbids contact between gods and mortals and closes down Olympus, although he indirectly aids the demigods several times on their quest, such as answering his son's prayer for aid against Enceladus.

question

Hera/Juno

answer

The Queen of the Gods and Goddess of Marriage. Hera plays a small role in The Titan's Curse, but helps Percy and the others on their quest in The Battle of the Labyrinth. 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. She frequently meddles in the affairs of demigods, however. As Juno in The Lost Hero, she is kidnapped by Gaea, and she contacts Jason Grace to rescue her. Previously, as Juno, she had sneaked out of Olympus and exchanged Percy and Jason to try to unite the Roman and Greek demigods, going against the wishes of Zeus in doing so. Compared to Hera, Juno is more rebellious; she states that Hera would not have disobeyed Zeus as she did.

question

Aphrodite/Venus

answer

The Goddess of Love, Beauty, and Lust. Aphrodite first appears briefly in The Titan's Curse. When Percy meets her, her appearance shifts constantly, matching every girl he has ever had a crush on (including Annabeth). Aphrodite is also the last child of Ouranos, which means that she is the eldest of the Olympians. Most of Aphrodite's demigod offspring are female, such as Silena Beurogard and Piper McLean. The latter's tomboyish habits vex Aphrodite, who twice changes Piper's appearance to make her look more beautiful.

question

Apollo

answer

The God of the Sun, Light, Poetry, Healing, Truth, Plague, Prophecy, Music, the Arts, the Oracle and more. It is said that Zeus gave Apollo more powers than an other God because he is responsible. Apollo drives a flying red Maserati Spyder convertible that glows brightly like the sun. He appears to be about 18 or 19 years old, with sandy colored hair, sky blue eyes, and dazzling white teeth. Apollo seems flirtatious, playful and optimistic, but he can also be one of the most dangerous Gods when he wants to be. He also has the most children out of any other male God. Apollo wears Ray-Ban sunglasses and sports an iPod. Percy notes that he looks similar to Luke, but less evil and without a scar. Apollo is also described by Thalia Grace as being 'hot'. Like most other Gods, Apollo is arrogant and has a big ego,and he is described as a very annoying brother by his sister Artemis. Apollo helps Percy and his friends by flying them to Camp Half-Blood in The Titan's Curse. Apollo also mentioned that Helios and Selene faded away when the Romans didn't build their temples. In The Last Olympian, he heals Annabeth's broken arm after she was thrown into her mother's throne. At the end of the war between the Titans and the gods, he certifies Rachel Dare as the new Oracle. His Greek and Roman forms have the same name as he claims that 'perfection can't be improved'.

He is the father of Clarisse, whom he blesses in battle in The Last Olympian. He appears as Mars in The Son of Neptune after a war game in Camp Jupiter, announcing the capture of Thanatos. He then claims Frank as his son, commissioning him to lead a quest to Alaska to free Thanatos.

question

Artemis/Diana

answer

The Goddess of the Moon, Wild Animals, and the Hunt. Artemis is the twin sister of Apollo. Cabin 8 at Camp Half-Blood is dedicated to her, though as she is a virgin goddess without demigod children, it is unoccupied, except for the rare visits when her Hunters visit. Artemis appears to be about 12 years old, with auburn hair and silvery-yellow eyes, the color of the full moon. Artemis leads the Hunters of Artemis, a group of girls who pledge to give up love in exchange for immortality and agelessness. In The Titan's Curse, she is captured by Atlas, who forces her to hold up the sky for him. She is rescued by Percy, who holds the sky for her while she fights Atlas. Together, Artemis and Percy trick Atlas into taking back the sky. Thalia then joins her Hunters, preventing Thalia from fulfilling the Oracle's prophecy. Satyrs are also reported to be attracted to Artemis because she is "so into nature."

question

Athena/Minerva

answer

The Goddess of Wisdom and Battle Strategy. Athena first appears in The Titan's Curse, where she dislikes Percy and his relationship with her daughter. Athena is as beautiful, but serious and foreboding. Like most of her demigod children, she has grey eyes. She has been alternately described as having black and blonde hair.

Although he claims Percy "always manages to annoy him," he has saved the lives of Percy and his friends on several occasions.

He is the husband of his niece Persephone. Hades is portrayed as cunning and resentful of the Olympians proper, though not specifically hostile to them. In The Last Olympian, he traps Percy, planning to hold him in an underworld prison so Nico can fulfill the great prophecy. Nico, however, helps convince Hades to join in defense of Olympus against Kronos and the Titans. After his army of the dead helps Olympus win, the Olympians reward him, his demigod children, and the minor gods with full recognition at Camp Half-Blood.

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.

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 Tyson is brought to camp, Tantalus insults and makes fun of him even when Tyson is claimed by Poseidon. 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. 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.
