Perseus "Percy" Jackson is the eighteen-year-old Greek demigod son of Poseidon and Sally Jackson. He is the main protagonist and narrator of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, and one of the main characters of The Heroes of Olympus series. He is the former Head Counselor of Poseidon's Cabin at Camp Half-Blood and a former Praetor of the Tw...
Early life
Percy Jackson was born on August 18th, to Poseidon, the Greek god of the seas, storms, earthquakes, and the creator of horses, and Sally Jackson, a mortal who could see through the Mist. He was named after the famous Greek hero Perseus by his mother for good luck, because his namesake was one of the few heroes who had a happy ending and died a peaceful death. When Percy was still an infant, his father Poseidon left, as is usual of the gods, leaving Sally to raise Percy on her own. In Percy's case, Poseidon left to protect him and his mother from Zeus who would have been angered to discover that his brother broke the oath; a pact made by Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, also known as the Big Three, to avoid having any more demigod children. As the most powerful Olympians, children of the Big Three wield incredible power and are seen as too dangerous to be brought into existence. Percy was left with vague memories of his father looking over him in his cradle; only remembering a warm smile, a hand on his head, and a "golden glow." At some point as an infant, Percy was attacked by a snake but managed to strangle it to death; just like the famous Roman demigod Hercules. As Percy grew older, his mother would tell him that his father had been "lost at sea," never confirming whether he was dead or alive.
Meeting Gabe
Sometime while Percy was a toddler, Sally married Gabe Ugliano and hoped his horrible smell would mask her son's smell from the monsters that would hunt him down. Monsters are attracted to the scent of demigods; the more powerful the demigod, the stronger the scent. With Percy being a son of one of the Big Three, his scent would be even stronger than other demigods. However, Percy despised Gabe, as Gabe would frequently bully Percy and abuse his mother. Percy nicknamed him "Smelly Gabe," since he smelled like "moldy garlic pizza wrapped in gym shorts." Gabe spent much of his time playing poker with his friends.
Early Expulsion
Strange things often happened around Percy, such as school buses exploding and aquariums flooding, which often resulted in him getting into trouble: he was kicked out of more than six schools over the course of six years. This unfortunately made Percy stand out. Many people bullied him during his childhood, while others, such as his second stepfather, Paul Blofis, suspected something was wrong with Percy and still accepted him. Paul was kind to Percy- even though he blew up his school music room It is said in The Blood of Olympus that Percy has been kicked out of several military academies where they believed that paddling is good for the soul. In The Chalice of the Gods, it's said that when Percy was six, he and his mother were flying a kite when it got struck by lightning, in the middle of a sunny day. In third grade, Percy attended a school with a basement cafeteria and pizza days on Wednesdays. He would also discuss trading cards with his friends and the history teacher who was also their lunch monitor named Mr. Christ. Percy and his friends were too scared to ask what the teacher's first name was. However, neither being in third grade nor the pizza had been wonderful for Percy. While he was in the third grade, a man in a black trench coat followed Percy around when he was at school. After teachers threatened to call the police, the man left. However, nobody believed Percy when he said that the man had just one big eye. They thought that he was hallucinating. When he was in fourth grade on a trip to an aquarium, he accidentally hit the wrong lever on the catwalk when his school was visiting the Sea World Shark Pool and made his class take an "unplanned swim," In fifth grade, Percy accidentally fired a war cannon, which hit the school bus when he was on a field trip at the Saratoga Battlefield.
The Lightning ThiefThe Sea of MonstersThe Titan's CurseThe Battle of the LabyrinthThe Demigod FilesThe Last OlympianPercy Jackson and the Singer of ApolloThe Staff of HermesThe Lost Hero
Although Percy is not shown in the book, it is revealed that he and Annabeth are officially dating and that the entirety of Camp Half-Blood was extremely worried about him. For most of the book, his location was unknown with the only clue being that he disappeared around the same time that Jason Grace, a son of Jupiter, first physically appeared. It is eventually revealed that Jason and Percy were exchanged by Hera/Juno to unite the demigods of Greece and Rome against Gaea and the Gigantes as well as other creatures.
Percy Jackson's Greek Gods
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. After finishing his narration of the book, Percy mentions being late to a meeting with Annabeth, which worries him.
Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes
A year after finishing writing Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Percy is approached by the same New York publisher, who, very impressed with the last book, asked him to write one more, this time focusing more on the Ancient Greek heroes. While Percy had originally refused, he was finally persuaded by an offer of a year's supply of free pepperoni pizza, along with numerous blue jelly beans. Percy reasoned that this book would help his fellow demigods, instructing them on how to properly defeat most of the infamous monsters that they might happen to come across. Right after finishing his narration of this book, Percy reveals that after the events of The Blood of Olympus, he and the rest of the Seven started the tradition of monthly Argo II reunion parties, and he is quite worried about being late to the current one.
The Son of Sobek The Staff of Serapis
While Percy himself never actually appears in this story, is mentioned multiple times by Annabeth, who was taking the subway to his apartment before encountering Sadie, and is implied to have gone there after her adventure.
Due to his semester-long absence, the son of Poseidon was expelled from Goode High School and attended an Alternative High School for his senior year where he joined the swim team.
As Percy is on his way to class during his first day at Alternative High School, he is summoned to the guidance councilor's office and is greeted by a Nereid named Eudora sent by his father. She explains that in order for Percy to get into New Rome University, he will need to obtain three recommendation letters from three gods by performing quests. The Son of Poseidon is outraged and Eudora gets a call from Poseidon and tells Percy his father will speak to him just as he is swallowed by the floor. Percy arrives at his father's summer villa in the Atlantic Ocean as it undergoes renovations. He sees his father and swims to the Lord of the Seas. Percy explains that he wants to get into New Rome University, but Poseidon reveals that, due to Percy being a child of one of the Big Three born of a broken oath, he is not supposed to exist by decree of the pact of the Big Three made in regards to the Great Prophecy. As such, he is ineligible to attend New Rome University. In order to go to New Rome University, Percy has to get three letters of recommendation from gods, based solely on new quests by the Winter Solstice. Poseidon, in an effort to assist Percy in getting the three letters of recommendation puts up fliers around Olympus offering Percy's quest services in exchange for letters of recommendation. Percy is disappointed at the prospect of going on more quests but agrees as it is his only option. Poseidon wishes Percy luck before sending him back.
After school, Percy goes home and speaks with Annabeth Chase about his requirement to attend college with her. The Daughter of Athena is shocked by the news and promises to help Percy however she can. Soon Percy's mother calls the two in to help with dinner. Percy sets the table as Annabeth helps Paul Blofis make tofu stir fry. Soon Grover Underwood arrives with a basket of strawberries and Percy tells him about his college admission requirements. Grover agrees to help after mentioning that Percy has just had his last summer at camp. The five then sit down for dinner.
The following day, as Percy is taking the subway to meet up with Annabeth and Grover at Himbo Juice , he is visited by Ganymede, the cupbearer of the gods, and Percy agrees to hear him out as they reach his stop. The Son of Poseidon takes Ganymede with him and the god explains to Percy and his friends that he needs them to locate his stolen chalice. The god starts to cry and, after consoling him and promising not to tell anyone it is missing, Ganymede says he needs the chalice back before Zeus declares a feast, which he does at random times. Ganymede suggests they question Iris and Hebe, who hang around Manhattan. After agreeing to the quest, Ganymede vanishes and Grover thinks he knows where to start.
They make their way into Time Square and Grover guides them to a storefront with blacked out windows called Hebe Jeebies. When they get inside, Annabeth and Percy are amazed at the sight of the various arcade games, candy selections, and activities. They walk past an animatronic and find an employee that resembled a nine year old girl and she says Hebe is by the Karaoke Bar. They find some middle aged patrons singing songs from the Vietnam War era and, after finding the Goddess of Youth, Hebe requests spot her join her for pizza. As they eat, Hebe brings up Percy's refusal of godhood and he says he wishes to grow old as it is a part of life. The group notices the patrons singing karaoke are getting younger and Hebe reveals she shaves off a few years so that those who visit her establishment can have a slight extension on their lives. The three then ask Hebe if she has any information on missing divine objects. The goddess deduces that stretch are referring to Ganymede and and that he list his chalice. However, Hebe becomes enraged when she thinks they are accusing her of stealing it. The goddess states she does not miss her old position and vanishes in an explosion of glitter. The three are knocked out and when they wake up, they are eight years old. Panicking, they decide to leave Hebe Jeebies in an attempt to become teenagers again. However they still remain children and go back inside to look for Hebe. They find the nine year old who pointed them to Hebe and she pulls out a bullhorn to state they have an age based complaint and to unleash the beasts. The chickens from the coop run towards them and, after Riptide fails to take sword form, the three run. The three run to an indoor playground and Annabeth has Percy and Grover drag a table over to block the entrance. Once they are inside, the Daughter of Athena comes up with a plan. She has Grover go on ahead to distract the chickens while Percy and her go to the ball pit and make their way to the chicken coop. Annabeth grabs a chick and they go to the Karaoke Bar. Grover meets back up with them and they barricade the door. Annabeth explains that the Karaoke Bar is Hebe's temple and that people would go to her temple on her sacred day to ask for forgiveness. She suggests they sing an apology song, but he and Grover have their doubts. They go over to the karaoke machine and he suggests "Jealous Guy" by John Lennon. The demigods sing terribly as Grover struggles to barricade the door. Soon Hebe arrives and demands they stop. Annabeth begs for forgiveness as the boys follow her lead. As Hebe threatens to turn them into infants, the goddess starts to de-age into one herself. Percy and Grover realize that Annabeth brought the chick as Hebe cannot physically be the youngest in a room. Annabeth promises to get rid of the chick if Hebe reverts the three to their true ages and give them information on the chalice. The goddess agrees and takes the form of a teenager once the chick is out of range. Hebe turns the three back into teenagers and agrees to tell them about the chalice.
Hebe states that she does not have it and suggests Iris, who hosts a farmers market outside the Lincoln Center on Saturdays, might have it. Hebe promises to keep Ganymede's secret as she wants to see Zeus's reaction when he finds out and warns them to be careful as Iris is not as forgiving as her. They exit Hebe Jeebies and go their separate ways. Percy returns home and sits on the fire escape, comparing this quest to all the world ending ones he had to do. His mother joins him and he recounts the days events to her. After asking what he was like as a child, Sally says he was afraid, but would try to understand what was going on. He then helps with the dishes and does his homework before going to bed.
Percy house sits for Hecate to get a letter of recommendation.
The Hidden Oracle
Percy appeared when Apollo and Meg McCaffrey showed up at his apartment, in need of his assistance. Percy was disgruntled and asked why they were here. Apollo introduced him to Meg and explained his situation and said that Meg must be taken to Camp Half-Blood. Percy was surprised to find out that Apollo was fully mortal and reluctantly let him and Meg inside. He let them in, and told Apollo to not mention Hera when he mentioned her, and told him that Sally Jackson was not cursed, she was just pregnant. Percy then introduced Apollo and Meg to his mom. After Sally suggested, Percy went to get Apollo cleaned up, after noting it was depressing that they were the same size. Percy left Apollo in his bathroom and gave him some Ambrosia and Nectar, and some clothes for him to wear. Apollo then went to talk to Percy, who was sitting on his bed. Percy recalled the last time he had a nosebleed after seeing Apollo's blood on his carpet, making Apollo remember how he was turned mortal. Percy told Apollo that the last time he saw him it was August, and now it was January. After Apollo said he didn't know how long he had been out, Percy recalled how Hera wiped his memory and that he hated memory gaps. After Apollo asked Percy to help him, Percy explained that he won't turn away a demigod in need, but he cannot get involved in another prophecy, since he made promises to his mom and Annabeth Chase to stay out of trouble and get his diploma, and he was busy catching up on classes. He also wanted to live long enough to meet his baby sister, and see his moms novel get published. He didn't want to abandon his family like that. Percy also explained that Annabeth was in Boston for a few weeks due to a family emergency. But Percy did promise to lead Apollo and Meg to Camp. Percy, Meg, and Apollo ate lunch together, and Percy complained about how he hates studying, since New Rome University required him to pass the DSTOMP test, all of his classes, and the SAT. Percy inquired that he would never forgive Apollo for writing a hard portion on the DSTOMP. Percy explained to Meg how he was a demigod, and asked Apollo how he and Meg met. Their story was interrupted when Sally brought Percy lunch, and Percy agreed with Apollo that his mom was awesome. Apollo explained to Percy the other two times he was a mortal, and how he was Meg's servant. The three also discussed what spirits may be following them, and Percy toyed with the possibility that Apollo may be barred from entering Camp, which worried him. Percy joked with Meg about how he started his demigod career by exploding a toilet, making her giggle, but she frowned when she found out he had a girlfriend. Sally then brought the three cookies, but then said Percy cannot have any unless he comes back safely, and made him promise he would be right back. Percy then told Apollo and Meg that a batch of cookies were at stake for him. Percy drove Meg and Apollo close to Camp from Manhattan in Sally's Prius. Percy warned Apollo to not jinx them if they were being followed and explained to Meg that the Oracle isn't working. When Apollo said he hoped demigods went on a quest to solve it by now, Percy said that without prophecies, there cannot be quests, so they are stuck in a Catch 88. Suddenly, when they saw spirits, Percy swerved and drove through a drive thru and a strip mall to get away. Percy drove through a railroad crossing and soon ended up in a countryside near Camp. Percy then swerved, damaging the car. Percy, Meg, and Apollo left the car after that. Percy was upset and annoyed when he found out the monsters that were attacking them were Nosoi, and Percy said that when it seemed that he killed everything in Greek Mythology, he didn't. The three fought the Nosoi, and Percy wanted to cut them up with Riptide. Percy charged into battle, but every time he defeated them they dissolved into glittery mist then re solidified. Percy caused a tank to rupture to try to kill them, but it was no use. Percy soon after accidentally ran into a plume of smoke the Nosoi made, and he was unable to breathe. But Percy and Apollo were saved after Meg, with the help of Peaches, defeated the Nosoi. Percy was skeptical of the Karpoi, because he did not like them, but he was shocked how he liked Meg, so he trusted him. Percy was sick from the smoke and sneezed with such force that an irrigation pipe exploded behind him. Percy offered to drive them to Camp, but police came to tow the Prius, and Percy stayed while was interrogated and told the two how to get to Camp. A few days later, Percy arrived at Camp with Mrs. O'Leary to help defeat the Colossus Neronis. They landed on the statues head and the Hellhound peed on the statues head, startling Percy. Percy immediately asked Apollo what he did, and Apollo told him it was only partially his fault, but he was making a plan to fix it. Percy threw a spike at the statues head and tried to get his dog to attack it. He jumped from the statues head to its shoulder and slid down it to the ground, impressing Apollo. Percy got the statue to chase him as he ran to the beach. During the battle, when Apollo began to doubt if he could make the shot to the statue, Percy and Chiron stared at him grimly and Percy put a hand on his shoulder, saying he was Apollo and that they need him, and if he didn't do it, he would throw him off of the Empire State Building. When Apollo defeated it, Percy and Chiron ran to avoid being crushed. The next day, Apollo tried to leave Camp, but Percy and Rachel Elizabeth Dare followed him and told him not to leave. Percy tried to reassure Apollo that he belonged at Camp and that he was once in the same situation, but Apollo insisted that he must free the other Oracles to save everyone. When Apollo said he wanted to give up looking for Meg, Percy said that he should keep looking since they'd lost too many good people- Luke Castellan, Ethan Nakamura, even almost Nico di Angelo. Percy said he cannot give up on Meg since they are bound together and that she is one of the good guys. After Percy heard the prophecy from the Grove of Dodona from Apollo, Percy figured out that Leo Valdez was coming back on Festus and that he would be the one to help him on his quest, making him happy and grinning. When Leo returned to Camp, Percy happily reunited with him and gave him a bear hug and not punching him like the other Campers, but he looked disgruntled. He also had a tense reunion with Calypso, awkwardly hugging each other. Percy and Leo bonded over how they both went through the Sea of Monsters and that they both hate Polyphemus. Percy also explained to Leo and Calypso the Triumvirate Holdings and Nero, and what happened in the last six months. As they discussed, Leo mentioned how he was with sarcastic pirates on the high seas, and he and a Percy high fived. Percy left that night before dinner and said goodbye to Leo and Calypso, with he and Leo hugging and Calypso pecking Percy on the cheek. Then he and Mrs. O' Leary disappeared into the Long Island Sound.
