Percy Jackson/Bio & Battles

"Not that powerful, eh? Could have fooled me. You're the son of the Earth-shaker, lad. You don't know your own strength."

- Hephaestus

Percy Jackson is a teenage demigod and the son of Poseidon, God of the Seas. Always a troublemaker, Percy's 6th grade class took a field trip to a Greek museum. There, Percy was attacked by the Fury Alecto. Percy's best friend Grover attempted to lead himself and his mother to Camp Half-Blood, but his mother was killed by a minotaur. In the aftermath of the attack, Percy discovers he is a demigod and that the gods are living among them in the modern world. Percy, because of an ancient vow broken by his father for fathering a child after the Second World War, is blamed for the disappearance of Zeus' lightning bolt. He would then embark on a journey to retrieve it, making allies such as Grover Underwood and Annabeth Chase as they made their way across the country. After obtaining it after a fistfight with the god Ares, Percy would learn of a prophecy stating that the world lay in his hands at the age 16.

After this, Percy begins to find a home in Camp Half-Blood, defending and fighting for it. When the sacred tree that protects their camp is poisoned, Percy finds the Golden Fleece and heals her, also bringing back the girl trapped inside Thalia Grace, a daughter of Zeus. He also manages to save Artemis from the Titan general, Atlas, by trekking across the country alongside two of her hunters. Finally, Percy manages to destroy the Labyrinth, a gigantic maze that his mortal enemy, Luke Castellan, intended to use as a means to invade Camp Half-Blood. After the Labyrynth is destroyed, Percy reaches the year where he is supposed to choose between destroying or saving the world. Bathing in the River Styx, Percy leads an army of a mere 40 demigods to attempt and protect Mount Olympus hidden atop the Empire State building from Kronos' armies. Despite numerous allies such as the Centaurs and the Hunters of Artemis, the forces are overwhelmed within days and Kronos, possessing Luke, takes Mount Olympus. However, before he can reach full power, Luke kills himself while the gods defeat Kronos' ally Titan Typhon. Percy is declared a hero, but declines the title of being a god in exchange for the gods to pay attention to their children, as a majority of Kronos' army were rejected demigods.
