Perseus “Percy” Jackson is an eighteen-year-old Greek demigod, the 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 head counselor at Poseidon’s Cabin and a former Praetor of the Twelfth Legion at Camp Jupiter, formerly belonging to the legion’s Fifth Cohort. He was the temporary host of the Egyptian goddess Nekhbet. Percy is currently the boyfriend of Annabeth Chase.
Perseus “Percy” Jackson was born on August 18, 1993, to Poseidon, the Greek god of the seas, storms, 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 a baby, his father left, as it was usual for the gods, and to protect him and his mother from Zeus, who could get angry if he discovers that his brother broke the oath, as children of the Big Three are too powerful for the gods’ comfort. When he was just a baby, Percy was attacked by a snake but managed to strangle it to death, just like the famous demigod Hercules. However, Poseidon occasionally visited Percy when he was in his cradle, which Percy described as a “golden glow”, his father’s warm smile and a hand on his head. As Percy grew older, his mother would tell him that his father had been “lost at sea”. Percy was raised by his single mother.
