[edit] A

  • Anemoi: Greek gods of the winds. They never made an appearance, but they were mentioned in The Last Olympian. They switched over to the Titans' side, and had made it harder for the gods to travel by air, which includes teleporting. It also made it harder for the Pegasi to fly.
  • Aphrodite: The goddess of love and beauty. She is mentioned in The Lightning Thief and appears briefly in The Titan's Curse. Her children(mostly girls) live in Cabin #10. Percy meets Aphrodite inside of a limousine in the desert. She wears a red satin dress and has long hair in ringlets. Her appearance changes as Percy looks at her, matching every female he's ever had a crush on (one being Annabeth). She encourages Percy to pursue a quest for true love. She's shown to have interest in Percy's feelings to 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.[1]
  • Apollo: The god of the sun and archery. The campers in Cabin #7 are his children. He drives a flying red convertible Maserati Spyder that glows brightly like the Sun. He appears to be about 18 years old. He has sandy colored hair and has dazzling white teeth. Apollo wears Ray-Ban sunglasses and an iPod. He also loves to recite poetry, especially haikus, which Percy describes as so bad that he would rather be shot by an arrow then listen to one, but Zoe says his Limerick days were much worse. Apollo helps Percy Jackson in The Titan's Curse by disguising himself as a homeless man.[1] Apollo is also the god of prophecy and controls the Oracle. In the Last Olympian, he heals Annabeth's broken arm after she was thrown into her mother's throne.
  • Ares: The god of war. His children are the campers in Cabin #5. He first encounters Percy in The Lightning Thief. Ares drives a huge motorcycle decorated with flames and human skin. He wears red sunglasses that cover his eyes, which are flames. His face is covered with scars from many fights. Ares sends Percy, Grover and Annabeth to retrieve his shield, which he left behind after a date with Aphrodite. They travel to a Tunnel of Love, which ends up being a trap set by Hephaestus. He intercepts Zeus's master bolt from Luke in The Lightning Thief and gives Percy a backpack containing it.[2] He wants to cause discord among Zeus, Poseidon and Hades. Later, he is overpowered by Percy in a combat.[2] He curses Percy that his sword will fail him in battle and departs.[2] Ares returns in a small part in The Sea of Monsters and 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, the Hunters. 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 abducted, along with Annabeth 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 Zoe 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 Counsil of Gods. She 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.
  • Athena: The goddess of wisdom and war strategy. She first appears in The Titan's Curse where she is shown to dislike Percy and his relationship with her daughter Annabeth[1] Athena is described as being beautiful, but also serious and forboding. She has dark hair and intense grey eyes, as do almost all of her children who reside in Cabin #6. 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.

  • Clarisse La Rue: One of the children of Ares, and the councilor of Cabin #5. She is hot-tempered, arrogant, big, tall, and strong and is known to dislike Percy. Despite her brash nature, she is shown capable of compassion when she cares for Chris Rodriguez, a half-blood who turned traitor and was later found crazed and stumbling within the Labyrinth, during his bout of madness. She is later seen holding Chris's hand at a campfire after Dionysus cures him of his madness. She later befriends Silena Beauregard, apparently after Silena gives her advice on her first boyfriend. She and her cabin later fight with the Apollo cabin because of a flying chariot. She and her cabin later do not join in the battle of Manhattan because of the chariot, though Micheal Yew gives it to them. Silena later impersonates her bring the Ares cabin into the battle by taking her armor and spear. Later, Silena is killed by a drakon in which she leads the cabin into fighting. Clarisse then grabs her spear back, runs up the drakon and stabs its eye, blinding it (Percy already blinded the other eye). the spear then breaks, electrocuting the drakon to death. She is then running at Kronos's armies, as invulnerable as Percy is even though she does not have the Curse of Achilles. Percy recognizes that an aura around her is highly resembles that of Ares when Percy fought him. Thalia remarks that it is a blessing of Ares, and that she has never seen it before in person. She is later frozen by a giant, and, after thawing, is welcomed to Olympus by her father, who is very proud of her.
  • Connor Stoll: One of the children of Hermes. Brother to Travis Stoll. Both are known to be crafty and mischievous.

In The Last Olympian, he tries to stab Percy in the small of his back (his Achilles spot), but Annabeth leaps in front of the dagger, and Kronos believes that he tried to stab Percy's Achilles spot. He is in the truce party along with the Empusa queen and Prometheus. Ethan later figures out that the small of Percy's back was his Achilles spot, but instead of killing him, his tried to kill Kronos. Kronos laughs, and kills him easily.

  • Lee Fletcher: A son of Apollo. He was the original counselor of Cabin 7 before he was killed in Battle of the Labyrinth.
  • Luke Castellan: One of the children from Hermes and a major 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 several occasions afterward. He is shown to harbor a great bitterness towards the gods (and particularly his father, Hermes) for what he regards as abandonment. His mom is driven crazy because she tried to be the Oracle. After reforming, Kronos took his body as his own but when he saw Annabeth and the knife he gave her and remembered his promise. After Percy made his choice to give Luke the knife, Luke killed himself with his own Achilles heel to destroy Kronos and became the hero of the war.

  • 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. He may have been the one that Percy awoke from a midday nap in The Titan's Curse.

[edit] N

Main Article: Nico di Angelo

  • Nico Di Angelo: A son of Hades. When his sister, Bianca, dies, he blames Percy and vows revenge. In the fourth book, Percy sees an "Iris message" of Nico talking to a spirit while in the Underworld. Nico returns at the Triple G Ranch, and leaves the ranch to avoid Percy and friends, from whom he has just discovered were not responsible for the death of Bianca. He comes back again, and saves Percy, Rachel, Grover, Annabeth, and Tyson from Kronos, the Lord of Time. Doing this, Nico exposes the fact that his father is Hades, making him vulnerable. Kronos will now most likely try to convert him to the side of the Titans. He also fights in the Battle of the Labyrinth, leading an army of ghostly soldiers, but later disappears after noting that he is not welcomed at Camp Half-Blood, much like his father is not welcomed at Olympus. He reappears several months later and informs Percy of intel that could lead to sending Kronos back to Tartarus. In the final book he discovers what happened to his mother and convinces his father Hades to help defend Olympus.

[edit] P

Main article: Percy Jackson (character)
  • Percy Jackson: The protagonist and narrator of the series, and a son of Poseidon. Being a child of the "Big Three" (Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades), Percy is possibly the half-blood referred to within the prophecy; said prophecy foretells that the next half-blood child of the Big Three to reach the age of sixteen would make a decision that would either save Olympus or destroy it. He is shown to be sarcastic, fiercely loyal, and a bit slow-witted at times (something several characters in the series note). He is romantically interested in Annabeth, though remains ignorant of her feelings despite being kissed by her. As the war with Kronos looms closer, so too does his sixteenth birthday.
  • Pollux: The son of Dionysus and the twin brother of Castor. He and his brother are described as blond and plump. He fights in and survives the war between the titans and the gods, making his father secretly happy.

[edit] S

  • Silena Beauregard: A daughter of Aphrodite and the lead counselor 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 as well. She doesn't think that she is a good fighter and feels that she doesn't do any one any good at camp. She shows an unveiled hatred towards the hunters 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 pretending to be Clarisse in "The Last Olympian." It is also revealed in The Last Olympian she was the spy giving Luke/Kronos information about what was going on at Camp Half Blood, though when the Stoll brothers ask Percy about it, he will not let Silena be remembered that way. Percy also notes that no one says the word "spy" during the burning of her shroud. She was the girlfriend of Charles Beckendorf who died in the beginning of The Last Olympian. This causes Silena to become even weaker or as Percy described,'She looked like glass. Like she was going to break at any time'.
  • Sherman: Son of Ares. He, like Mark (another son of Ares), was 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. He, also, may have been the one that Percy awoke from a midday nap in The Titan's Curse.

When she was twelve, they were all soon attacked by a heard of monsters and caught by a Cyclops in New York. She was captured, but thanks to Annabeth, was freed.[3] They escaped, but found that the monsters they had briefly escaped 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.[2] She sacrificed her life for her friends, but her father, Zeus, took pity on her and transformed her to a pine tree. She is later brought back to life by the Golden Fleece and joins the quest in the third book where she ultimately joins the Hunters and takes the place of Zoë Nightshade.[1]
  • Travis Stoll: One of the children of Hermes. Brother to Connor Stoll. Both are known to be crafty and mischievous. His and his brother's shenanigans incapacitated a member of Artemis's Huntresses, which enabled Percy to join the quest of The Titan's Curse.He and his brother have a larger role in The Last Olympian and both survive.Travis Stoll is often confused as Connor Stolls twin,whereas in fact Travis is one year older than Connor.
  • Tyson: He is a cyclops, the son of Poseidon and a Nature Spirit. Technically he's not a demigod, but at camp he does stay in Percy's cabin. He first appears in The Sea of Monsters as a homeless boy. He is afraid of Grover while Grover is also afraid of him.

After mistaking her for a monster and realizing she is human, Percy discovers that she can see through the mist. She misleads the skeletons away from Percy. Rachel is encountered again in The Battle of the Labyrinth and aids Percy in fleeing yet again. Later, at Percy's request, she uses her clear sight to guide them through the labyrinth to Daedalus's workshop, from where she, Percy, Annabeth, and Nico escape, only to enter again to locate Grover and Tyson. She is present at the death bed 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. In The Last Olympian, she turns into the Oracle who should stay as a single (unless they are already married).

[edit] S

  • Sally Jackson: She is the mother of Percy; she was married to Gabe, then killed him with the head of Medusa, and marries Paul Blofis in the fifth book. In the beginning of the series, it is indicated that Sally works at a candy shop called "Sweet on America" and said that she wanted to be an author when she was young. In the fourth book, Percy guesses that Sally can see through the Mist and she says that was probably the reason Poseidon took interest in her.

[edit] Dead mortals

  • Sisyphus: A man that cheated death many times. His punishment was in The Fields of Punishment and to roll a boulder up a hill. He appears in The Demigod Files in the Sword of Hades when Percy, Thalia, and Nico ask him advice. He doesn't 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. So Percy and his friends go to see Melinoe.
