Product Information

In The Son of Neptune, Hera sent Percy to Camp Jupiter, have erased most of his memory to her nephew's great annoyance. She commented she considers Percy "a loose cannon" and "impulsive", but also "unswervingly loyal" and "the glue that will unite the seven". Percy mentions he understands her motives, but still is annoyed having lost 8 months of his life as a result. At first, Thalia refuses to help because the forging of the weapon is illegal. All the other gods (especially Zeus) must know it first and agree in its creation. The creation of a new weapon (or a symbol) destroys the balance between the gods' powers. But the danger that the weapon implies can free the souls from the Underworld, so she figured she must help catch the thief. They catch the thief after interrogating Sisyphus, fighting and killing a group of violent Keres, and crossing Lethe, the River of Forgetfulness, after which they have a run-in with Melinoe the goddess of ghosts, who takes the forms of Maria di Angelo and Beryl Grace. The demigod thief is, as they suspected, Ethan Nakamura, but all the petals fall off the carnation because Ethan has raised the Titan Iapetus from Tartarus. When Magnus got home, he called Percy and Annabeth, who just arrived in New Rome. Percy told Annabeth to ask Magnus if he followed his advice on the quest, and Magnus told her to tell Percy that he kept his butt clenched like he said. Percy was upset during the phone call because of Jason's death. Shortly after the defeat of Gaea and the Giants in The Blood of Olympus, Percy was asked by a publisher in New York to record and write down what he knows about the Olympian gods, to which the young demigod agreed, reasoning that it would help inexperienced demigods survive any unexpected divine encounters with a major Olympian. Percy proceeds to compile all of the stories that the demigods of Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter told him over the years. Percy is thus far the only known demigod to be written in the two major prophecies in both series: he is the "half-blood of the eldest gods" mentioned in the Great Prophecy and one of the seven half-bloods in the Prophecy of Seven.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians | Rick Riordan

During The Mark of Athena, Percy starts remembering how angry Luke was with the Olympian gods and how himself felt like that before. Then after seeing Bacchus just watch himself and Jason fighting for their lives against Otis and Ephialtes, he understood why. Because of this, he could understand Luke better. As for Nico, Nico missed him a lot and his voice broke when he mentioned him as being the sea expert. The crew offered Nico Percy’s cabin but Nico refused. Nico's crewmates were confused why he would do anything for Percy if they hated him so much, and couldn't imagine him being kind to him. The Argo II thought that Nico hated Percy, but it is revealed in Croatia that he actually had a crush on him, to Jason, who kept the secret from the others. Nico said he was over his crush, but he wasn't. Favonius also called Percy, though not by name, "The person Nico cared about most." When he rescued Percy and Annabeth from Tartarus, Nico accidentally held his hand for too long and let go. And Nico looked sad when he saw Percy and Annabeth holding hands. Percy was worried when Nico offered to transport the Athena Parthenos to Camp, but Nico angrily said that he'd changed since Tartarus. Later, Percy went to thank Nico for leading the crew to the House of Hades, and Nico said it was the least he could do after he saved him in Rome. Percy then told him about Tartarus and thanked him for helping Iapetus, and Nico said overlooking people can be dangerous. Percy then said he was trying to say thank you, and Nico told him to give him space, making Percy feel hurt. He was also confused as to who Nico was, as he wasn't a nerdy little kid or an angry loner anymore.

A few days later, Reyna Ramírez-Arellano gave he and Annabeth the news that they could go to college and live out their lives in New Rome. Nico approached the two after he heard them cheer, and they told Nico the good news. Nico was happy and told them he was staying at Camp, which Percy was happy about. Nico then decided to clear the air with Percy, since they would be seeing each other often, and said he had a crush on him but he was over it. Percy was surprised, looking at Annabeth, then at Nico, and could barely get a word in, asking for clarification. Nico reassured him that it was cool and though he was cute, he wasn't his type, and bid the two goodbye to join Will Solace. Percy accidentally summoned a water hand to pull the school bully into a fountain, and then killed his teacher, who turned out to be a Fury. History [ ] Early life [ ]

LIGHTNING THIEF Percy Jackson and the Olympians - Book 1 THE LIGHTNING THIEF Percy Jackson and the Olympians - Book 1

In The House of Hades, Calypso reappears. It is known that, when Percy made the gods swear to free her from her prison, she was forgotten, staying trapped on Ogygia. She blamed the gods for this, but also Annabeth, as she thought it was Annabeth's fault she was alone. Although she cursed Annabeth for it, Percy did not blame her but instead blamed himself for not ensuring that the gods freed her from her island. Stygian Ice Whistle: A special dog whistle made of Stygian ice cooled in the River Styx. It was given to Percy by Quintus to summon Mrs. O'Leary and was shattered after it was once blown. Percy used the whistle when his friends were having trouble fighting an army of monsters in The Battle of the Labyrinth. Percy is the only one that has been able to keep the River Lethe from erasing his memories, as he won't ge When they go into Battle of Manhattan just after Kronos has been killed by Luke, he angrily tells Percy with pleading eyes that he didn't want the same thing to happen to the other unclaimed demigods wind up like him and Percy promised Luke that he won't let it happen again and Luke nodded before dying, showing that despite Percy and Luke's mutual hatred for each other, after Luke killed Kronos, their enmity towards each other has toned down. Percy honors that promise to him by saying that as his wish that all the children of all the gods will be recognized and cared about, implying that he still had respect for Luke. Archery: As shown in The Lightning Thief, The Battle of the Labyrinth, and The Demigod Files, Percy is horrible at archery. However, he has improved, as it is shown on his report card that "he has stopped shooting his own teammates."Percy decides to leave camp and go celebrate his birthday with his mom. Two surprising visitors stop by while Percy, Tyson, his mom, and Paul Blofis (Percy's mom's new boyfriend and fiancée) are celebrating. First, Percy's father Poseidon comes and tells him that he fears Luke/Kronos is only temporarily defeated and when Percy blew up Mt. Saint Helens, Typhon stirred in his sleep. Finally departing with Poseidon, Percy decides to go to his room to plant the garden he had earlier promised Calypso. As he does, Nico stops by and tells him that he needs to tell Percy things about how they might be able to stop the Titan army. Percy then invites him for cake and ice cream. After finishing his narration of the book, Percy mentions being late to a meeting with Annabeth, which worries him. While in Tartarus in The House of Hades, Percy is starting to show a darker and more dangerous side of himself in his personality. He begins to question himself about his morality, and if he's really a good hero or not. He wonders about the people he had previously treated with apathy: Bob, Calypso, and Nico di Angelo. After his return, he tries to make up for his tattered relationship with Nico by thanking him for visiting Iapetus. While battling Akhlys, Percy taps into his rage and controls poison to overwhelm Akhlys—to the point where even Annabeth is terrified of him. He was shown to be more prone to aggression when he vows to destroy Gaea and avenge Bob and Damasen, something which doesn't seem to disappear towards the end of the book.

Annabeth's Yankees Cap: Annabeth's magical cap that allows the wearer to turn invisible. Annabeth briefly lends it to Percy in The Lightning Thief in an attempt to avoid the Furies. In The Titan's Curse, after Annabeth is abducted, Percy recovers the cap and uses it throughout the Quest for Artemis, eventually returning it to Annabeth after her rescue. In The Chalice of the Gods, Annabeth lends it to Percy to sneak into Zeus's Palace to return Ganymede's Chalice.After he left with Jason, Percy was still woozy from the poison, so he sat on a ledge to catch his breath. He thanked Jason for saving his life, and had him promise to not tell Annabeth or anyone else. He then began to confide to Jason about his trauma in Tartarus. He said when he was choking on the poison, he thought about Akhlys and when he poisoned her, how it felt good, and how he would've killed her if Annabeth didn't stop him. When he was being poisoned by Polybotes, he thought he deserved it for what he did to her and the Fates would let him die, which was why he didn't try to control the poison to get it away from him. Jason understood him and the two changed the subject, discussing how Ouranos was defeated and how it could help them defeat Gaea. They also discussed Jason's plan to honor the gods. Jason complimented Percy on how he turned down his immortality, saying it was noble and wondered how he did it. Percy joked that sometimes he regretted the choice. Percy was later proud of Jason when his wound was healed. Nico takes Percy to Florence after the son of Poseidon struggles with finding a gift for Annabeth. The son of Hades takes him to store owned by Charu, the last of the Etruscan gods. After asking questions about Annabeth, he gives the son of Poseidon and bracelet of keys and asks him to explain the meaning of Christmas. After Percy explains the universal meaning of friendship and family behind the holiday, he is given the gift and the demigods leave. Cryokinesis (limited): Percy can use cryokinesis to a small degree. He can manipulate frozen or icy water around him, as shown during his interrupted fight with Thalia in The Titan's Curse. The Celedon, however, attempts to throw Percy off the roof of Times Tower while Grover nervously tries to think of lyrics. A birdcage of Celestial Bronze begins to form, but the Celedon spins Percy off her and pushes him off the tower. A metal rung catches his pants belt, but the momentum causes Percy to slip out of his pants and continue falling. The demigod snares onto a billboard to prevent himself from falling and reveals that he wears plain blue boxers claiming they're more comfortable than briefs. The Celedon smiles down at Percy and begins singing about Percy letting go of the billboard and falling. In The Son of Neptune, after failing to communicate with Annabeth, Percy leaves his mother a phone message letting her know he is safe.

Procrustes, Polyphemus, Triton, Arion, Antaeus, Pegasus, Chrysaor, Chrysomallus, Cercyon, Sciron, Theseus, Bellerophon, Neleus, Halirrhothius, Tyson (paternal half-brothers) Apollo tends to side with Percy and can see the good he does. While Percy goes on a quest to try and save Apollo's sister Artemis in The Titan's Curse, he helped Percy directly which goes against the ancient laws of gods, but put his faith in Percy that he would be able to save her. Later during the Olympus party, Apollo thanks Percy for saving Artemis, even offering free archery lessons, to which he declines. Along with Nico, Leo, Will, and Meg, Percy is the only known demigod to be mostly called by his shortened first name. Perfect Bearings: Percy always know his exact nautical coordinates wherever he is, which allow him to easily navigate his way at sea. Percy was almost the same age now as Luke had been then. He could understand how Luke became so spiteful. In the past five years, Percy had been a pawn too many times. The Olympians seemed to take turns using him for their schemes.The way our sons and daughters act in our names… well, it usually says more about them than it does about us. And you, Percy, are my favorite son. He runs into an elevator to escape them but then becomes trapped deep inside the dam. A tour guide, who turns out to be Athena (Percy later realizes it was her since she had Annabeth's eyes and that she was trying to help him save her daughter), tells him that there is always a way out for those that are smart enough to find them, before ascending in the elevator. He is spooked when a girl appears behind him and he swings at her with Riptide, but the sword simply passes through her as she is a regular mortal. She then reveals she isn't so regular, as she sees the Skeleton Warriors for what they truly are and directs them away from Percy, who hid in a bathroom. As he thanks her, he introduces himself as Percy and that he has to go (which Rachel thinks means his name is Percy Gotta-go). Winged Shoes: Whose wings spring out when the wearer says " Maia". They were supposed to be a trap from Luke, as the shoes dragged the user into the pits of Tartarus due to Kronos dragging them in. The shoes were given to Percy by Luke. Percy later gave them to Grover. In the film, he used them to retrieve a pearl. At the end of The Tower of Nero, Percy seems to be more lighthearted and even softens up to Apollo than before (much better than how it was at the start, in The Hidden Oracle) as he has settled down with the hope of going to college, which is a much different view point from the start as he actually looks forward to it and somehow, with the help of Annabeth has actually done well in his exams. He has lost his impulsiveness and has matured to a lighthearted cheerful person who is at his happiest with Annabeth.
