CHARACTERS

Percy Jackson

Percy is the 12-year-old protagonist of the novel. Percy struggles with ADHD, dyslexia, and getting into trouble, so he’s been expelled every year since he started school.

CHARACTERS

Grover

Grover is a young satyr tasked with looking out for Percy at Yancy Academy. Grover is in his early 20s, but he has the maturity level of a middle school student since satyrs only grow half as fast as humans do.

CHARACTERS

Mom/Sally Jackson

Percy’s mom is a beautiful woman with long brown hair and sparkling blue eyes. Her story is tragic: her parents died when she was little, the uncle who raised her was distant, and his death kept her from finishing high school or attending college.

CHARACTERS

Luke

Luke is an older teen at Camp Half-Blood. His father, Hermes, claimed Luke, so Luke is now the leader of the Hermes cabin.

CHARACTERS

Annabeth Chase

Annabeth is one of Percy’s best friends and a daughter of the goddess Athena. Annabeth is blonde, Percy’s age, and has been at Camp Half-Blood since she was seven.

CHARACTERS

Chiron/Mr. Brunner

Mr. Brunner is Percy’s mentor. Mr. Brunner is first Percy’s Latin teacher at Yancy Academy. He’s in a wheelchair, owns a number of Greek battle replicas that he uses for study games, and takes a special interest in Percy that Percy doesn’t quite understand.

CHARACTERS

Smelly Gabe

Gabe is Mom’s husband and Percy’s stepfather. Percy calls him Smelly Gabe because he reeks, in addition to being crass, cruel, and ugly.

CHARACTERS

Ares

Ares is the god of war. When Percy meets him, Ares takes the form of a larger-than-life biker, with a leather jacket, loud motorcycle, and dark sunglasses.

CHARACTERS

Hades

Hades is the god of the Underworld. He’s about 10 feet tall and exudes power.

CHARACTERS

Zeus

Zeus is the all-powerful god of the sky. After killing and imprisoning his father, the Titan Kronos, many millennia ago, Zeus assumed his role as king of the gods.

CHARACTERS

Medusa/Aunty Em

Medusa is a monster with snakes for hair; she can turn people who look her in the eye to stone.

CHARACTERS

Poseidon

Poseidon is the Greek god of the sea, and he’s Percy’s father. Poseidon can change his size, but he looks like a tanned fisherman in Bermuda shorts and a patterned shirt.

CHARACTERS

Thalia

Thalia is a young demigod who, eight years before the novel begins, began making her way to Camp Half-Blood with Grover as her keeper.

CHARACTERS

Dionysus/Mr. D

Dionysus is the Greek god of wine and harvest; in the present, he goes by Mr. D and runs Camp Half-Blood as punishment for unspecified transgressions he committed.

CHARACTERS

The Minotaur

The Minotaur is a horrendous monster with the huge head of a bull. It attacks Percy and Mom when Mom attempts to drive Percy and Grover to Camp Half-Blood.

CHARACTERS

Hermes

Hermes is the messenger god; he never appears in person in the novel. Hermes’s cabin is the most populated one at Camp Half-Blood because Hermes is accepting of everyone.

CHARACTERS

Mrs. Dodds

Mrs. Dodds is a Fury who poses as a math teacher at Yancy Academy for part of the school year. She torments Percy every chance she gets by assigning him detention and failing him on tests.

CHARACTERS

Mr. Charon

Mr. Charon is a ghoul who admits spirits to the Underworld and ferries them across the River Styx—but only if they can pay or if he’s feeling generous.

CHARACTERS

The Furies/The Kindly Ones

Annabeth’s dad is a professor at West Point who had a brief relationship with the goddess Athena.

CHARACTERS

Clarisse

Clarisse is a hulking bully and one of Ares’s daughters at Camp Half-Blood. She attends camp year-round. Clarisse uses an electrified spear that Ares gave her in battle.

CHARACTERS

Kronos

Kronos is the Titan father of a number of gods and goddesses, most notably Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. Kronos ate his children, but they all escaped. Then, Zeus cut Kronos into pieces and imprisoned him in Tartarus, a hellish pit in the Underworld.

CHARACTERS

Hephaestus

Hephaestus is the god of fire and blacksmiths. He never appears in the novel in person, but Percy has to deal with him regardless—Hephaestus’s wife, Aphrodite, is in a relationship with Ares, and Hephaestus sets up a trap at a Denver amusement park designed to embarrass the lovers on Mount Olympus television.

CHARACTERS

Procrustes

Procrustes is a monster who runs a waterbed store in Los Angeles. This isn’t a benign endeavor, however—anyone who tries out a bed finds themselves chained to it, and if prospective purchasers aren’t exactly six feet tall, Procrustes either cuts them shorter or stretches them.

CHARACTERS

Cerberus

Cerberus is the three-headed dog that guards the gates of the Underworld. Percy recognizes Cerberus as a Rottweiler, but he’s significantly larger than a normal dog—he’s big enough to sit on spirits crossing into the Underworld and crush them.

CHARACTERS

The Fates

The Fates are three women who control the lives of everyone, from birth all the way to death.

CHARACTERS

Pan

Pan is the god of the wild and of shepherds and flocks. Like satyrs, Pan has the lower half and horns of a goat, but he’s not technically a satyr.

CHARACTERS

The Chimera

The Chimera is Echidna’s son. It’s a tall monster with the head of a lion complete with a bloody mane, the hooves and body of a goat, and a serpent as a tail.

CHARACTERS

Aphrodite

Aphrodite is the goddess of love. She doesn’t appear in person in the novel, but there are many of her children at Camp Half-Blood.

CHARACTERS

Athena

Athena is a warrior goddess who has a rivalry with Poseidon. There are several of Athena’s children at Camp Half-Blood; Annabeth is one of them. They’re all extremely intelligent, good at puzzles and strategy, and are fierce warriors. Athena never appears directly in the novel.

CHARACTERS

Persephone

Persephone is a goddess, and she’s Hades’s wife. Persephone doesn’t appear in the novel, but Percy takes note of her throne and her pomegranate grove in the Underworld.
