Kronos (Percy Jackson)/Bio & Battles

"Finally! The Olympian Council—so proud and mighty. Which seat of power shall I destroy first?"

- Kronos

Kronos is the main antagonist of the Percy Jackson series of novels, who plots to overthrow Olympus by manifesting himself through a host to escape Tartarus. Wielding a power similar to his father, Kronos is one of the most powerful characters within the novel series, and it was said that if he truly manifested, mortals and even demigods would disintegrate in his pretense, with only gods being able to look at him. Several members of the Greek pantheon claimed they would be able to do little to combat him should he ever return.

Through assistance of defected demigods such as Luke Castellan, Kronos coordinated several attempts to strike at the weaknesses of the gods, pitting them against each other through the creation of a conspiracy regarding the theft of Zeus's lightning bolt. After that plan was foiled by Percy Jackson and his friends Annabeth and Grover, Kronos attempted to revive himself through acquiring artifacts such as the Golden Fleece, or even imprisoning and weakening members of the pantheon such as Artemis by forcing her to bear the weight of the sky in Atlas' place. Eventually, he opted to attack Camp Half-Blood directly with an army of monsters and demigods led by Luke, killing a notable number of residents there. It was after this that Kronos would finally attempt to manifest through his host of Luke, yet his plans were foiled after Luke was killed through the heroics of the defective demigod Ethan and Luke himself.
