History
Percy Jackson was raised by his mother as a single child. When he was at the right age for his powers to be discovered, he was found by a satyr named Grover, who disguised himself as a human. He was Percy's best friend at his school. On a school field trip, one of Percy's teachers, Mrs. Dodds, turned out to be a monster and attacked him. Mr. Brunner, Percy's favorite teacher but actually a centaur in disguise, gave him a pen which turns into a sword (later on mentioned as Anaklumos (Riptide). Percy won a close victory over Mrs. Dodds, but afterward no mortals remembered that she ever existed.
After some events, in which his mom "dies", Percy ends up at Camp Half-Blood. He is at first sent to Hermes' Cabin, led by Luke. After a capture the flag game he is found out to be the son of Poseidon, which means Poseidon broke his oath not to have any children.
Percy is then selected to go on a mission to retrieve Zeus' Master Thunderbolt. He does this with Annabeth and Grover Underwood. After they discover the thief was Ares, Percy challenges and manages to beat the God of War by stabbing him in the ankle. He also managed to bring his mom back, as she never died. She was in the Underworld with Hades the whole time.
After a whole school year, he goes back to camp in which he discovers Grover is missing. Percy and Annabeth go on a long mission to save him, in the Sea of Monsters while Clarisse is also sent.
In the 3rd book, Percy Jackson goes to a school, where Grover found two new half-bloods, Bianca and Nico di Angelo. In the battle, Annabeth jumped onto the monster, who jumped off a cliff. Percy, Grover, Thalia, two of Artemis' hunters, Zoë Nightshade and Bianca, must go on a quest to save Artemis.
Personality
Percy is usually portrayed as being good-natured, friendly, and often willing to risk his life to save his friends, strangers, and even his enemies. Percy seems to dislike titles being given to him as he always tells the horses (pegasi to be exact) not to call him "boss" whenever they talk to him. Percy is occasionally shown to be fairly childish such as when he compares Artemis' chariot to Santa's sleigh. Despite not being very popular at school, Percy's compassionate and good nature personality has caused several girls to develop feelings for him including Annabeth, Rachel, and Calypso.
The Lightning Thief
- Main article: The Lightning Thief
Perseus "Percy" Jackson is introduced as a troubled 12-year-old boy who has been kicked out of every single school he has attended. His most recent is Yancy Academy where his usual trouble seems to be worse than usual. He has few friends at the school, one of which being the satyr-in-hiding, Grover Underwood.
During a field trip to a museum, Percy is annoyed by a bully and, in a fit of rage, summons water in a nearby fountain to pull the bully in. Fleeing the scene, he arrives in the museum to meet Mrs. Dodds, his former math teacher. Suddenly, she attacks him and transforms into a Fury, but he manages to evade for a miraculously long time until the arrival of Mr. Brunner who throws a pen at Percy who instinctively transforms it into the bronze sword Anaklusmos or Riptide. Percy manages to destroy the Fury and Mr. Brunner walks inside the museum, picks up his pen, and walks away as though nothing happened.
As Percy questions him, Mr. Brunner says he saw nothing in particular and is happy Percy found his pen. Percy runs out of the museum into Grover and asks if he saw what happened; Grover acts agitated as well. Percy arrives back at the school and hears Grover and Mr. Brunner talking about him. Deeply hurt that his favorite teacher and best friend are talking behind his back, he goes home on his own, knowing it would lead to another suspension. Arriving home to his horrible step dad, Gabe and his friends playing poker, Percy rushes upstairs.
But not before being taunted and made fun of by his step dad as usual. His mother arrives soon afterward and tells him that they can go to his favorite beach for the whole weekend. Percy, happy that finally something good has happened, packs his things and leaves, but not before being jeered further by his step dad. Arriving at the beach, Percy is shocked to see Grover coming to him and his mom, telling them to leave. Percy is confused, but his mother takes them both in the car and begins driving at daring speeds.
It begins to rain and Percy hears a loud growl. Percy's mom arrives at a hill and forces both boys out of the car. Percy then sees the thing chasing them is a Minotaur, who charges them. The three of them manage to dodge it, but Grover is too slow and the Minotaur charges him. Percy, again in a surge of power, manages to defeat the Minotaur, but not before a bolt of lighting takes both the dying Minotaur and his mom to the Underworld. Grover takes Percy to Camp Half-Blood and he is introduced to the other campers, who Percy learns are all demigods.
Percy also meets a future friend, Annabeth, leader of the Athena cabin. Percy himself is a demigod, but no one knows who his divine parent is. He learns that Mr. Brunner is actually a centaur and is the camp's director. He also learns that the warden of the camp is the god Dionysus. After a long interval he is introduced to Luke, the leader of the Hermes cabin. Later in a capture-the-flag game, Percy single-handedly defeats Clarisse, leader of the Ares cabin, and three others when he learns that he is the son of Poseidon. Soon after learning that Zeus's lightning bolt has been stolen, Percy embarks on the quest of his life with Anaklusmos , Grover, and Annabeth. After the capture the flag game Percy hears a mysterious howling and a hellhound comes out of the forest and attacks them. The woods were not stocked with them, as they are only in the Fields of Punishment, and it had to be summoned from the Underworld by someone within the camp.
The Sea of Monsters
- Main article: The Sea of Monsters
Thalia's tree, which serves as the magical border of Camp Half-Blood (which was formed to prevent a daughter of Zeus from dying), has been poisoned mysteriously by unknown forces. After Chiron is dismissed from camp ( he is blamed for poisoning the tree), Tantalus (who came from the Fields of Punishment and can not have food or water) takes his job. The only thing able to rid the tree of its poison is the Golden Fleece, which is located on Polyphemus's Island, in the Sea of Monsters (the Bermuda Triangle).
Clarisse, the daughter of Ares and long-time enemy of Percy, is given the quest to go into the Sea of Monsters to find the Golden Fleece, which has healing powers for plants, animals, and humans. Percy and Annabeth decide to go also, not just for the Golden Fleece, but for their friend Grover who is trapped in Polyphemus's cave somewhere in the Sea of Monsters. Percy and Annabeth go along with Tyson, a young Cyclops (Poseidon's son, thus Percy's half-brother) who Percy befriended at school that year. He joined them on their journey after saving Camp Half-Blood from two fire-breathing bulls. Polyphemus believes that Grover is a female cyclops and not a satyr.
As they enter the Sea of Monsters, they have to get past Scylla and Charybdis. Instead of at least trying to sail in between, Clarisse automatically goes for Charybidis and Tyson supposedly dies in Clarisse's ship. After that, Percy and Annabeth journey to many dangerous islands, and Annabeth tells Percy many things about how Thalia died and she also mentions her prophecy. Fighting their way through many other obstacles, like the Sirens and Circe's island, they join up with Clarisse, Grover, and later Tyson, and leave with the Golden Fleece.
When they return to the mortal world, they send off Clarisse on an airplane to camp alone, and Percy, Annabeth and Tyson get kidnapped by Luke. He almost kills Percy in a duel, but Percy reveals Chiron was innocent, and Chiron comes to rescue them with his strangely dressed relatives. When they return to camp, the Fleece is put on the tree. The Fleece not only revives Thalia's tree, but it revives Thalia too. It's Thalia who appears as she looked in Percy's dreams. He remembers the dream and realizes that it is her. It turns out that this was actually Kronos's plan, done so that he would have another chance to manipulate the prophecy which governs the future of Olympus and the Olympians.
The Titan's Curse
- Main article: The Titan's Curse
The demigods, Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia rush to the rescue to find that Grover has made an important discovery: he has found two powerful half-blood siblings whose parentage is unknown: Bianca di Angelo and Nico di Angelo. A fierce battle awaits... and a surprise from a group of Hunters with Artemis, the goddess of the moon and the hunt, but that's not all that awaits them. The Titan lord Kronos has devised his most treacherous plot yet, and the young heroes have just fallen prey to it.
They're not the only ones in danger. An ancient monster has arisen -- one rumored to be so powerful it could destroy Olympus, and Artemis, the only one who might know how to track it, is missing. Now Percy and his friends, along with the Hunters of Artemis, have only a week to find the kidnapped goddess, find Annabeth who supposedly got kidnapped by the evil Dr. Thorn, and solve the mystery of the monster Artemis was hunting. Along the way, Grover makes a very important discovery about Pan. Also during the journey, Percy meets a mortal girl named Rachel Elizabeth Dare, who can see straight through the Mist. She helps him escape from dead warriors. While warning them about the junk yard of the gods, Aphrodite tells Percy there is a romantic future waiting for him with Annabeth.
Once at the other side of the country, they go to the Mountain of Despair to fight Atlas and Luke. Thalia was fighting Luke, and everyone else was fighting Atlas. Artemis was struggling against her bond, the weight of the sky. Percy took the sky from her and held it while Artemis and Zoë lured him back to where the sky was being held. While this was happening, Thalia was fighting Luke, and Luke was winning. Finally, Artemis threw Atlas over to Percy. He knocked Percy from under the sky and Atlas had to hold his burden once more. Thalia and Luke were still fighting but finally Thalia shoved him off the edge with her shield, Aegis. During the battle, Zoë receives deadly injuries; she is poisoned by her old friend, Ladon, and her father, Atlas, who made the final strike that killed her. Artemis put her out of her pain and she turned into dust. The dust flew into the stars, creating a new shape in the sky in the shape of a hunter. On Mount Olympus, Thalia becomes one of Artemis' hunters. On the way back to camp, Percy was trying to figure out how to tell Nico his sister died because of a crazed robot in the junkyard of the gods. Once at camp, Percy told Nico the horrible truth and the boy sprints into the woods. Annabeth, Percy and Grover search for Nico for a long time, but have no luck. Percy then holds the figurine of the god Bianca got for him at the junk yard. Suddenly, he realizes who Nico's dad is: Hades, Lord of the Dead. Many weeks later, Grover was drinking a lot of coffee, trying to get a connection with Pan, like he did in New Mexico. He comes running towards Percy to tell him Pan spoke in his mind. Pan only said three words, "I await you."

The Battle of the Labyrinth
- Main article: The Battle of the Labyrinth
Percy Jackson thinks that freshmen orientation won't be fun, and that itself proves to be when he is accompanied by a mortal friend, Rachel Elizabeth Dare. Rachel tells Percy to leave the room when she spots the demon cheerleaders that Percy had encountered when he went in through the side of the building to ignore Rachel. As Percy leaves, he ends up having to fight the demons and runs into Annabeth Chase, a friend from camp along the way. She takes him to Camp Half-Blood, a camp just for demigods like them. Percy finds his half-brother Cyclops, Tyson, waiting for him in his cabin.
Quintus, the new swordsmen teacher, is accompanied by Mrs. O'Leary, a hellhound that develops a soft spot for Percy. During a game that Quintus made up, Annabeth and Percy go through the rocks of Zeus's Fists and are stuck in a dark room. Though they are there for only a few minutes, when they return truly almost an hour had passed since they entered. Annabeth is offered the quest she has been waiting for since age 7: She must enter the Labyrinth, find Daedalus, and get Ariadne's String before their arch enemy, Luke Castellan, son of Hermes, does.
Luke has been planning on burning down Camp Half-Blood, and using the Labyrinth to get there guided by Ariadne's String. Annabeth gets her prophecy from the Oracle: "You shall delve in the darkness of the endless maze, the dead, the traitor, and the lost one raise, you shall rise or fall by the ghost king's hand, the child of Athena's final stand, destroyed with a hero's final breath, and lose a love to worse than death." Annabeth takes Percy, Grover, and Tyson along with her. Together, they enter the maze. They are accompanied by Hera, who tells that Percy knows the way.
When they take a wrong turn throughout the maze they run into Nico, son of Hades. Nico is accompanied by King Minos, who tries to convince Nico to and that they are not his friends. Once they get out, Percy and the others run into a monster-run quiz show. Also, once they return to camp, Hephaestus has them travel to one of his forges. Percy gets lost in the inner depths of Mt. St. Helens while battling fierce water demons. Before parting with Annabeth, she kisses him for luck, and vanishes under her cap of invisibility.
Percy blasts out of Mt. St. Helens while escaping and ends up falling into Ogygia, a tiny island undiscovered by mortals. There, he meets Calypso, a young girl whom Percy thinks is much prettier than Aphrodite herself. Percy must leave the island and Calypso (who has fallen in love with him) behind. When he finds Annabeth again, Percy realizes that he does know the way. Once they are accompanied by Rachel again, they run into a wide arena, where Percy must battle demigod Ethan Nakumura. Sparing Ethan, Percy challenges his giant half-brother, Antaeus, that is accompanying Luke. Percy kills him by having him off of the ground, for the earth helps him heal.
When he finds Annabeth and Rachel again, Rachel leads them straight to Quintis, who tells them that he is Daedalus; he reveals that Luke got there first. He also says that Rachel is better and more accurate than the string. Monsters then attack the workshop, dragging Nico Di Angelo in chains. Percy, Rachel, Annabeth, and Nico escape and leave Daedalus to fight the remaining monsters. They find another entrance and enter the maze once again. Once they navigate through the maze, Percy hears the Titan Lord speak to him. Taking Annabeth's invisibility cap, he goes into the room and opens the coffin.
There, not fully formed, is Luke. As much as Percy hated him, Percy did not draw Riptide. He finds the demigod whom he spared earlier in the maze, Ethan. Ethan joins the Titan's side and Luke/Kronos comes to life. Percy barely escapes, thanks to Nico Di Angelo. While they were going through the Labyrinth, they meet up with Tyson and Grover. Together, they all find the wild god Pan, who tells them he is fading. As his spirit fades, it goes into the mouths of each of them, and it seems that Grover got a little bit more than the rest. They lead Rachel to New York, who gets a ride from a taxi driver, who leads them straight to camp.
Once they get to camp, they leave Rachel behind because she is mortal, they then readying for the Titan army's arrival. Battling side by side are Annabeth and Percy. Percy, remembering what Annabeth had done earlier in the maze, gets to her side and they both fight a fierce monster of the Titan's army. Grover, in a panic, screams so loudly that it scares the Titan army back into the Labyrinth. Grover's Dryad girlfriend, Juniper, insists that it was Pan's wild scream that had scared the Titan army the first time. As Percy gets up, Daealus comes and tells them that the Labyrinth is tied to his life.
The child of Athena (Deadalus/Quintus) dies, and so does the Labyrinth. Percy, Annabeth, and the other uninjured campers take the wounded to the Big House. Percy decides to leave camp and go celebrate his birthday with his mom. Two surprising visitors stop by while Percy, his mom, and Paul Blofis (Percy's mom's boyfriend) are celebrating. First, Percy's father Poseidon comes and tells him that he fears Luke/Kronos is only temporarily defeated. Finally departing with Poseidon, Percy decides to go to his room to plant the garden he had earlier promised Calypso. As he does, Nico di Angelo 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.
The Last Olympian
Percy is set to return in the fifth book, in which a war similar to that of the Olympians and Titans ages ago is waged; he is expected to challenge Kronos. The prophecy surrounding his sixteenth birthday will be revealed.
Percy is driving Paul Blofis's(Percy calls him Blowfish) Prius with Rachel. They are on their way to the beach when Beckendorf, who is riding Blackjack, a Pegasus, appears and lands on the hood of the Prius. Beckendorf tells Percy that they have to destroy the Princess Andromeda, Luke's demon cruise ship inhabited by Kronos' Army. While they are setting the bombs to blow up the ship, some Telekines and Dracanae come and Percy distracts them from disturbing Beckendorf, who is setting up the bombs. He meets Kronos and battles him, but unfortunately Beckendorf is captured after the bombs were set. He detonates the domb and Percy escapes as the ship explodes, killing monsters and Beckendorf.
He goes to Poseidon's palace under the sea where he meets Tyson and other relatives. Poseidon is fighting against Oceanus and his army, which is making him age rapidly due to the state of the sea. Percy then heads back to Camp Half-Blood to relay the news of what happened on the Princess Andromeda to the Campers. He recieves the Great Prophecy and feels as though he will die no matter which choice he makes. He is visited by dreams and Nico comes to Percy to talk about his plan. He wants Percy to bath in the River Styx to become invincible like the hero Archilles in the old days.
But to do so, Percy must first discover how Luke had done it and they go visit his mother, Ms. Castellan in Westport, Connecticut, where they find her insane and unstable. She does tell that Luke came and asked her for her blessing for something that he needed to do. They also meet the goddess of the home, Hestia, who gives Percy visions of Luke's past. So Percy and Nico go visit his mother and Paul Blofis back in Manhattan, to get her blessing. Then they head to the Underworld, where they meet Hades, Persephone, and the goddess of agriculture, Demeter. Hades locks Percy away and intends on making Nico the child of the prophecy. Nico rescues Percy and takes him to the Styx, where he gains invincibility.
The war begins and Percy leads the group of demigods into a sleeping Manhattan to battle monsters and demons alike from destroying Mount Olympus, while the gods are battling the monstrous Typhon in the west. Rachel arrives and is discovered to be getting visions and states,Percy is not the hero. As the battle wages on, Percy, Annabeth, and Grover ascend to Olympus after chasing Kronos. Annabeth is able to convince Luke to resurface. She reminds him of his promise that he would protect her, and asks Percy to give him the knife so that he can end everything. Percy gives over the knife. discovering he was not the hero after all, but his choice to give it to Luke was the decision he had to make. Kronos is blown to dust and scattered by the wind, and Luke dies a hero's death. Through deaths and betrayals, the demigods stand victorious. Percy is given the gift of becoming a god, but declines due to his love for Annabeth, who is finally able to tell his feelings too. He instead requests that the gods claim their children by thirteen and that Camp Half-Blood construct cabins for the minor gods and Hades. When he comes back to Camp Half-Blood, he finally expresses his feelings for Annabeth and they kiss twice, the second time being underwater. At the end, he and Annabeth share a moment of bliss as they race toward the road down Half-Blood Hill back into the mortal world.

Magical Items
Anaklusmos-First given to Hercules by Zoe Nightshade named after the surprising current. It was passed on to Percy by Chiron. This is his main weapon. Its name means Riptide in English and that's what Percy calls it. It is made of Celestial Bronze and can be kept in the form of a ballpoint pen. It's original form was Zoe's hair clip. It always, if Percy loses it, magically appears in Percy's pocket.
Shield-This shield was made for Percy by Tyson throughout the events of The Sea of Monsters. It was kept in the form of a wristwatch. It was broken in The Titan's Curse. It was fixed by Tyson in between the events of The Titan's Curse and The Battle of the Labyrinth. Percy threw it at Kampe during The Battle of the Labyrinth and it was never seen again.
Flaw
It is said by Athena that Percy's fatal flaw is personal loyalty. He will sacrifice anything to save his friends and loved ones. Kronos or Luke has used this flaw of Percy to manipulate him several times in the series.
Romance
Calypso: After Percy is stranded on Ogygia Island, he is healed by the girl named Calypso. She is stranded on the island after supporting her father, Atlas, in the titan immortality, and to live on her island forever, but he turns her down, even though it could save him the trouble of the prophecy (The prophecy states that the next child of the Big Three to turn sixteen decides the fate of Olympus). Calypso was in love with Percy but even though she was beautiful, Percy never actually 'loved' Calypso. In The Last Olympian he also requests from the gods that she be freed from her captivity on Ogygia.
Rachel: Even though Percy is not known to like Rachel in this way, it is known that she likes him. Percy was unsure about having a crush on Rachel, as he never truly admits it. However, Percy's growing love for Annabeth never stopped so Percy didn't develope a true relationship with Rachel. Percy always knew deep down that he never really loved Rachel. In the Last Olympian, Rachel kisses Percy in Paul's (his mom's new husband) Prius right before setting off to the Princess Andromeda. On Olympus, Rachel tells Percy that he was drawn to him due to his introducing her to the Olympian world that they could never be together, because she took on the spirit of the oracle making her kept from dating. And he senses that he had just gotten 'dumped'. This does not seem to disappoint Percy very much. Rachel always seems to 'ruin' everything between Annabeth and Percy, which Percy in clueless to.
Annabeth: Percy and Annabeth disliked each other when they first( only because their parents Athena and Poseidon have a rivalry.) met but soon grow fond of each other. Aphrodite has told him that they will have a 'tragic love life'. Annabeth has kissed him four times, once, after winning the chariot race in Sea of Monsters, though that was only on the cheek, again as she leaves him to fight the telkhines at Mt. Helens in The Battle of the Labyrinth, in the dining area of Camp Half-Blood, prior to all other campers throwing them in the canoe lake in The Last Olympian, and finally underwater in the The Last Olympian . Also, Annabeth is known to be jealous of Rachel, the clear-sighted mortal girl because Percy spends a lot of time hanging out with her. But Rachel becomes the Oracle and can't fall in love with anyone or date anyone which makes Annabeth happy since Percy is a free agent.
Annabeth seems to be hinting quite a bit that she is interested in Percy, and it seems to not matter to her that Athena does not approve of them even as just friends. In the Last Olympian, when Percy and Annabeth are inspecting the cabins, she tries to hint that she loves him, but Percy, distracted by staring at Annabeth and suddenly nervous, changes the subject, leaving Annabeth disappointed. He also finds himself staring at her and says that she is looking more mature and is becoming seriously beautiful.
When Percy goes to the River Styx he is supposed to envision the one thing that keeps him tied to the mortal world, he thinks of Annabeth pulling him out of the water at canoe lake. When Kronos is spotted, Percy orders a retreat, but Annabeth stays next to him help him fight. She ends up taking a knife for him that would have killed him. As he sees what has happened, he becomes enraged and calls Blackjack to take her away. Percy then rushes to Annabeth and stays by her side, thus showing some love for her. When Rachel shows up in her helicopter, Annabeth saves her, but is later shown to have been crying and jealous. When Kronos is up at Olympus, Percy, Annabeth, Grover,and Thalia go up the elevator only to find that the bridge that connects Olympus to New York is shattering. Percy, Thalia, and Grover jump, but Annabeth is too weak to. She stumbles and Percy catches her. They lie together until they realize they are practically hugging. After Luke stabs himself he asks Annabeth if she loved him, but she says that she only loved him as a brother. After that, she looks up at Percy and they share a moment. When Percy is offered immortality, he looks over at Annabeth and sees that she has turned pale and won't meet his eyes. He recalls how he felt when he thought that she would join the hunters of Artemis, and due to this, turns the gods down. They are upset at him, but he looks over at Annabeth and she has her hands over her mouth and starts crying for joy, and decides that he had made the right decision.
Later at camp, he confides to her the vision he had at the Styx and the reason he turned down immortality. He looks over at her and she is trying not to laugh as he says 'You are so not making this easy!' She laughs and tells him 'I'll never, ever let things be easy for you, Seaweed Brain,' and puts her arms around him as they share a kiss. However, eavesdropping camp mates rush forth and dump them, hand in hand, into the lake. However, as Percy is the son of Poseidon, he is able to create an under water bubble and they kiss yet again. It is signaled that they may get married by Annabeth saying she wanted build something permanent and Percy thinks about this too.
