7	Tired of the rule of her descendants the gods and angered by the murder of her children the titans, Gaea, goddess of the Earth itself, seeks to rise once more. For the full list of characters, click [[Characters/TheCampHalfBloodSeries here.]]

9	[[foldercontrol]]
10	!!Protogenoi.
11	Protogenoi are the previous generation to the ''Titans''. They physically ''are'' what they are the lords of.
12
13	[[folder:Gaia/Terra]]
14	[[quoteright:332:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sadness_gaia_8.jpg]]
15	The goddess of the Earth and progenitor of the Titans and, by extension, the Olympians. BigBad of the ''Heroes of Olympus'' series.
16
17	----
18	* AbusiveParents: Locked Damasen inside Tartarus and forced him to kill the Maeonian Drakon over and over again because he stopped the drakon from harming humans. She's also responsible for the death of her other son, Orion, but, in contrast to how she justified Damasen's imprisonment, she did so to prevent him from killing every beasts on earth.
19	* BigBad: Of ''The Heroes of Olympus'' series.
20	* TheChessmaster: Seems to have planned out or predicted an awful lot of characters' choices prior to the beginning of the story.
21	* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:Her ultimate defeat. She only wakes up for less than five minutes, during which she's lured to the sky, charmed to sleep, and finally finished off by a ball of fire. Embarrassingly, she's defeated by a trio of mere ''demigods'' (well, four, if you count Octavian), unlike the giants, who need a demigod/god combination to be killed.]]
22	* DishingOutDirt: She ''is'' the Earth. Like in the original mythology, she doesn't have nature-based powers (this was the domain of Pan).
23	* TheDreaded: Everybody's scared of her. She is, after all, ''the earth itself''.
24	* EldritchAbomination: Seeing as her body is ''the entire planet''.
25	* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: The entire plot is about preventing Gaia from waking up, since this trope is what's going to happen if she does. [[spoiler:She does manage to wake up in the climax of ''The Blood of Olympus'', but she's swiftly defeated before she can do much destruction (and she doesn't cause them, as the fight takes place outside of Camp Half-Blood).]]
26	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She ''loves'' the giants. In the present, she makes the giants free themselves first before she wakes up herself.
27	* EvilMatriarch: The mother of all the gods and monsters except for the [[EldritchAbomination most primordial]] of them.
28	* FauxAffablyEvil: She maintains a calm and polite air at all times, even when taunting heroes and all but outright saying she wants them dead.
29	* {{Foil}}:
30	** To Juno. Both are matriarchs who are generally disliked, but Juno wants to save the world while Gaia wants to destroy it.
31	** To Kronos, the previous BigBad -- she takes a more direct approach to manipulating the main players of the prophecy.
32	* GaiasVengeance: Although she's not directly taking it out on mortals, just the mythological creatures.
33	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Her first husband, Ouranos, is incapacitated because she arranged for the Titans to mutilate him while he's in his most vulnerable: when he visited earth and thus was away from his domain, the sky. [[spoiler:Come the end of the series, and Gaia is incapacitated the same way: being lured into a place she is the most vulnerable: the sky.]]
34	* KarmicDeath: While not truly dead for good, [[spoiler:She does get vaporized by the same trick she and the titans used on Ouranos, and as a consequence she can't reform for slightly less the eternity just like her husband and son Kronos (who she callously ignored during his second uprising). For bonus points she tried to kill and manipulate everyone involved and actually succeeded in killing a few of their loved ones.]]
35	* KickTheDog: She [[spoiler:threatened to kill Leo's mother and in a way succeeded in doing so in particularly cruel manner. She caused Leo to set fire to his mom's workshop and accidentally kill her.]]
36	* LogicalWeakness: Because she ''is'' the all-powerful Earth Mother, [[spoiler:she's near-powerless when in the air]].
37	* TheManBehindTheMan: In the first book, behind her son Porphyrion.
38	* ManipulativeBastard: Definitely more keen on this tactic then Kronos was. Following the theme of family ties, she emotionally manipulates near everyone using loved ones (Piper, Percy, Leo, Hazel, even some gods). Frank is supposedly an exception, thanks to his convoluted legacy.
39	* NonActionBigBad: Because she's asleep, she pulls strings to get what she wants rather than directly doing things herself.
40	* ParentalFavoritism: Very blatantly favored the giants over the Titans.
41	* PetTheDog: She seems to have an affinity for non-humanoid, beastly beings over humanoid ones. Her killing Orion was to stop him from killing all beasts on earth, and she imprisoned Damasen because he killed a beast that threatened humans. Then there's her love for giants, who are decidedly less humanoid than the Titans or Olympian gods.
42	* SignificantBirthdate: Invoked. She chooses August 1, the Feast of the Goddess of Hope, to begin the second Gigantomachy.
43	[[/folder]]
44
45	[[folder:Tartarus]]
46	[[quoteright:308:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tartarus_face.jpg]]
47	''The'' Tartarus, a manifestation of the darkest part of the Underworld. Also the Giants' father. (Gaea was the mother).
48
49	----
50	* AdaptationalVillainy: Tartarus is not a bad guy in myths, not even the [[EverybodyHatesHades Hades-kind]] bad guy. He's a sort of a static character who functions more as a locale (being the worst prison for any being), and his relationship with Gaea that produced Typhon is a strictly a one-shot affair with no indication that he hopes it would be used against the gods.
51	* ArchnemesisDad: To Damasen.
52	* ArcVillain: Of ''The House of Hades'', as Percy and Annabeth are trapped in his realm while the crew of the Argo II go up against Clytius and Pasiphaë to save them.
53	* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: As with all other protogenoi.
54	* BigBadDuumvirate: Implied by his dialogue, and a logical conclusion given that he fathered the Giants with Gaia and is by far the most powerful of her affiliates.
55	* TheBlank: A variation. He doesn't have a face, but he doesn't have a blank patch of skin either. What he does have is a nightmarish combination of whirlpool and black hole.
56	* BodyHorror: [[EldritchLocation The entirety of Tartarus is his]] ''[[EldritchLocation body]]''. This is given nods throughout the book as Percy and Annabeth joke about how they're traversing across different parts of his anatomy.
57	* DarkIsEvil: Oh, you had better believe it!
58	* DisproportionateRetribution: Destroys [[spoiler:Krios and Hyperion]] for the former describing him in an unflattering manner.
59	* TheDreaded: For very good reason. It takes [[spoiler:a YouShallNotPass by Bob and Damasen to slow him down long enough for Percy and Annabeth to escape. What, exactly, do you think happened to them afterwards?]]
60	* EldritchAbomination: The realm of Tartarus is his body, and when he [[HumanoidAbomination assumes a form to deal with them personally]] Percy and Annabeth have a hard time looking directly at him.
61	* EldritchLocation: Tartarus the location is his body, with all that implies. The ground is flesh, rivers of horrific properties flow across and under the land, the air is poison, and monsters crawl from the living soil. Even ''that'' horrific place is just AFormYouAreComfortableWith, with many successive layers existing simultaneously in the same space, so mind-numbingly horrible that even before you get to the true destroy-you-if-you-look-at-it form you'll be driven mad. On top of that, this entire place is floating in an endless black void that's somehow ''worse''. As that is ''THE'' Chaos. Yes, as in the primordial void.
62	* FightingAShadow: The manifestation at the end of the book is simply a form he assumed to deal with the Heroes. His true form ''is'' the locale of Tartarus.
63	* GeniusLoci: Tartarus' body is pretty much the Greek version of Hell.
64	* KickTheDog: We probably weren't supposed to feel bad for [[spoiler:Hyperion and Krios]], but his reason for doing what he did to them just makes it callous.
65	* KnightOfCerebus: Twofold. [[spoiler:Percy and Annabeth]]'s trek across Tartarus (technically his body) is easily one of the darkest parts of the book, and things naturally get worse when he shows up in person.
66	* MightyGlacier: Is slow but immensely powerful, due to never having taken on a humanoid form before.
67	* MonsterProgenitor: Fathered Typhon, Kampê, and the giants with Gaia
68	* OffingTheOffspring: Presumably did this to [[spoiler:Damasen and Bob.]]
69	* OrcusOnHisThrone: He fathers monsters with Gaia and serves as a respawn point for all monsters, but he doesn't really get involved himself. At the current point in time, he's only formed a corporeal form once. [[spoiler:In fact, he doesn't participate in the final battle.]]
70	* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Depending on the source, in some of the original myths Tartarus didn't father the giants (they're generally described as springing from Ouranos's blood in such tellings), nor was he actually married Gaea (though he did have an intimate relationship with her).
71	* ThePowerOfTheVoid: Everything about his physical description. He has VoiceOfTheLegion that echoes inwards instead of outwards, a vortex for a face that absorbs essences and Annabeth describes the environment as looking like it's being pulled into him.
72	* TheUnfought: The heroes never even ''try'' to touch him, while [[spoiler:Damasen and Bob's sacrifices]] simply distract him long enough for the heroes to flee before [[spoiler:Tartarus possibly kills them.]] Thanks to this, [[spoiler:he's one of Gaea's two major allies (alongside Python) to survive the Second Gigantomachy.]]
73	* UnskilledButStrong: Thankfully, for all his power, he's clearly unused to combat in a corporeal form, a weakness the heroes are able to exploit. Justified, though, as he'd never summoned a physical manifestation of himself before this point, and was essentially taking his baby steps.
74	* WombLevel: The realm of Tartatus is his body.
75	[[/folder]]
76
77	!!Gigantes (The Giants)
78
79	[[folder:General]]
80	The giant children of Gaea and Tartarus, each one was meant to destroy and replace a specific god. They appear in ''Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus''.
81	----
82	* AchillesHeel: They heal from all damage unless it's inflicted by a god and demigod working together.
83	* ArchEnemy: Each one was designed to destroy a specific god.
84	* BackForTheFinale: Come back regenerated and just as ready to destroy the demigods as ever in ''The Blood of Olympus.'' [[spoiler:Of course, now that Reyna and Nico manage to unite the warring camps and cure the gods' schizophrenia, they are disposed of fairly easily.]]
85	* BigBadEnsemble: Pretty much every book features a giant as a secondary antagonist, and usually the FinalBoss.
86	** ''The Lost Hero'': Enceladus kidnaps Piper's father, blackmailing her into sabotaging the quest to prevent Porphyrion's rise.
87	** ''The Son of Neptune'': Polybotes is marching to invade Camp Jupiter while Percy, Frank, and Hazel head off to defeat Alcyoneus.
88	** ''The Mark of Athena'': The Aloadae, Otis & Ephialtes, plan to put on a massive show as they destroy Rome.
89	** ''The House of Hades'': Clytius serves as Pasiphaë's "handler" on earth, as they control the Doors of Death leading to Tartarus.
90	** ''The Blood of Olympus'': Porphyrion and almost all of the giants scheme to awaken Gaia, while Orion hunts Reyna and the Athena Parthenos.
91	* EvilerThanThou: The gods and Titans are not saints and it is sometimes hard to see a difference between them. However, everyone agrees the giants are worse than both. Being children of the Greek version of {{Hell}} it is to be expected.
92	* EvilKnockoff: Of the Olympians.
93	* GaiasVengeance: They are it.
94	* ImplacableMan: Their primary strength. They lack the vast magic possessed by the gods, but are designed to keep coming no matter what thanks to only being able to be killed by a god and demigod working together.
95	* OurGiantsAreBigger: The average giant or giant-sized monsters are around 10-12 feet tall. These giants are around 20 feet or more.
96	* {{Pride}}: A flaw shared by all of them and according to Nemesis they have more pride than the Olympians or Titans which is saying something. Each one thinks they are invincible in battle and can surely defeat the Olympians despite having lost before and individual giants being defeated by individual demigods. This causes them to severely underestimate their enemies leading to one humiliating defeat after another.
97	[[/folder]]
98
99	[[folder:Porphyrion]]
100	The most powerful of the giants and their king. Deigned to be a direct counter to Zeus including power.
101
102	----
103	* ArchEnemy: To Zeus.
104	* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: When at full strength.
105	* CurbStompBattle: In the last book, [[spoiler:he is on the receiving end of one at the hands of Zeus and Jason. Zeus nearly kills him with his Master bolt before Jason blows him off a cliff and Zeus uses another lighting blast to reduce him from ash. His own spear is sliced in half and he fails to mount any sort of defense or offense.]]
106	* TheDragon: To Gaia.
107	* GreaterScopeVillain: The plot of ''The Lost Hero'' concerns attempting to prevent his resurrection.
108	* TheHeavy: Since Gaia is asleep for most of the series, Porphyrion is the de facto main antagonist up until she finally wakes.
109	* LargeAndInCharge: Described as the tallest of the giants and the most built physically.
110	* OrcusOnHisThrone: Is resurrected in the first book only to do nothing over the next four while the heroes steadily advance toward him. Any actual planning or action is taken by Gaia.
111	[[/folder]]
112
113	[[folder:Polybotes]]
114	Counterpart to Poseidon.
115
116	----
117	* ArchEnemy: To Poseidon.
118	* TheBrute: Powerful for sure, but clearly not the most cunning of the giants.
119	* CurbStompBattle: In the last book, [[spoiler:Both gives and receives one. He fights Percy in the water and his poison instantly takes Percy out, but is on the receiving end of one from Jason and Kymopoleia.]]
120	* FinalBoss: Of ''The Son of Neptune''.
121	* MookMaker: On top of his other abilities, basilisks spawn from his scalp that are intelligent enough to employ basic tactics.
122	* PoisonousPerson: His very touch turns water to poison.
123	* ProngsOfPoseidon: Simultaneously of the sea, gladiator, and evil varieties.
124	* WeaksauceWeakness: It's his first defeat that highlights that the Giants weakness of Demigods and Gods working together means ''any'' god, not just major ones. Case in point, he gets his ass handed to him by Percy and Terminus working together.
125	[[/folder]]
126
127	[[folder:Alcyoneus]]
128	Counterpart to Pluto and the eldest of the Giants.
129	----
130	* ArchEnemy: To Hades. Also to Hazel, seeing as she was the one who was manipulated into resurrecting him.
131	* ArcVillain: Of ''The Son of Neptune'', holding Thanatos hostage while Polybotes invades Camp Jupiter.
132	* CurbStompBattle: What he did to the 5th Cohort of the 80's.
133	* CrystallineCreature: He's not just covered in various precious jewels and metals, he's literally ''made'' of them.
134	* TheDragon: To Gaia, spanning the time period from the forties to Porphyrion's rise.
135	* KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler:The one who kills him for the second time is not identified.]]
136	* MadeOfIndestructium: Except if he's out of his homeland Alaska.
137	* TooDumbToLive: As pointed out by Frank -- when you're unkillable as long as you stay in the boundaries of the state of Alaska, you really shouldn't hang out in the part of the state that's only ten miles wide.
138	-->'''Frank:''' "Welcome to Canada, idiot."
139	* VillainRespect: Unlike most giants, he does have the ability to compliment his enemies. He is aware of Percy's past exploits and acknowledges his defeat of Kronos in the previous series as a worthy feet of a hero.
140	[[/folder]]
141
142	[[folder:Enceladus]]
143	Counterpart to Athena.
144
145	----
146	* ArchEnemy: To Athena.
147	* BerserkButton: After their first encounter, Leo becomes one to him.
148	* BreathWeapon: Possesses fiery breath.
149	* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:As with other giants, he's easily defeated for the second time by Annabeth and Athena.]]
150	%%DisneyVillainDeath
151	* EvilGenius: The most intelligent of the giants and the tactician among them, but given how stupid some of his fellow giants are this isn't saying much.
152	* FlunkyBoss: He's aided in his fight against Jason, Piper, and Leo by several Earthborn.
153	* TheHeavy: The most prominent antagonist of ''The Lost Hero'', due to Khione remaining a HiddenVillain while Gaia and Porphyrion are still asleep.
154	* IHaveYourWife: Takes Tristan [=McLean=] hostage to force Piper's allegiance.
155	[[/folder]]
156
157	[[folder:Otis & Ephialtes]]
158	Counterparts to Dionysus.
159
160	----
161	* BerserkButton: Exploited by Percy during his fight with Otis. Insulting ballet enrages him so that he makes stupid mistakes.
162	* ButtMonkey: Poor Otis owns this trope.
163	* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:Offed for the second time by Percy and Poseidon.]]
164	* FanDisservice: Otis' form-fitting tutu.
165	* TheHeavy: Of ''The Mark of Athena'', while Arachne is their boss their plan to destroy Rome is a much more immediate threat.
166	* IdenticalTwinIDTag: Ephialtes has purple hair; Otis's is green.
167	* {{Jerkass}}: Ephialtes.
168	* RealMenWearPink: Otis is fond of ballet and wears a tutu during the fight with Percy and Jason. Everybody else, Ephialtes included, finds this revolting.
169	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: With Otis as the sensitive one and Ephialtes as the Manly Man.
170	[[/folder]]
171
172	[[folder:Clytius]]
173	Counterpart to Hecate.
174	----
175	* AntiMagic: His Shroud of Darkness neutralizes the mist.
176	* ArchEnemy: To Hecate.
177	* BlackCloak: One made out of smoke because, you know, EvilWearsBlack.
178	* EnergyAbsorption: Since his ArchEnemy is the goddess of magic, Clytius was designed to absorb all her magic attacks.
179	* EvilSoundsDeep: Described as sounding like a bass guitar.
180	* FinalBoss: Of ''The House of Hades''.
181	* KillItWithFire: The one way to defeat him is with magical fire.
182	* PeoplePuppets: [[spoiler:Controls Annabeth, Percy and Leo (and even corpses in the tombs of the Necromanteion) and uses their mouths to speak for him.]]
183	* SuperSmoke: Controls smoke that absorbs all Mist and magic. [[spoiler:It also is used to steal people's voices and drain their life force.]]
184	* TheQuietOne: Out of all the Giants, Clytius rarely speaks.
185	* VoiceForTheVoiceless: [[spoiler:Doesn't use his own mouth, rather he steals people's vocal cords and communicates using their mouths.]]
186	[[/folder]]
187
188	[[folder:Orion]]
189	Counterpart to Artemis and Apollo.
190
191	----
192	* AdaptationalVillainy: In the original mythology, Orion, while sometimes depicted as a giant, did not participate in the Gigantomachy.
193	* EgomaniacHunter: A curse by Apollo turned him into one in ancient times and upon his return from Tartarus he has become one to women.
194	* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: Very handsome and very evil (to strong women, at least).
195	* FaceHeelTurn: Originally sided with the gods against the giants and fell in love with his target. [[TraumaCongaLine After that brought him nothing but pain and misery]], he decided to go back to the giants.
196	* HeManWomanHater: Originally loved Artemis, but being rejected by her, cursed by Apollo, and sent down to Tartarus caused him to make an about face and hunt any "strong" women with a focus on Artemis' Hunters and the Amazons.
197	* HeroKiller: The giant with the most number of named casualties. He kills [[spoiler:Phoebe, Kinzie, Naomi, Celyn, plus countless other elite Amazons and Hunters of Artemis, all in one fell swoop.]]
198	* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: Strong women, specifically.
199	* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He ''hates'' strong women.
200	* PrettyBoy: Unlike other giants, he's in the shape of a human and is sized as such (though taller than most). That alone makes him the prettiest of his brethren. Then he's described to be a handsome hunk who attracted even the goddess of misandrists herself...
201	* StrawMisogynist: Is he ever. He despises strong women, and wooed Artemis partly so he could "tame" her. To be fair, it's implied he was nowhere ''near'' as bad in the past and it was [[TraumaCongaLine Apollo cursing him for chasing after Artemis and eventually sending him to Tartarus]] that made him really hate women.
202	* TraumaCongaLine: What caused him to join his fellow giants despite originally siding with the gods. First he was blinded for flirting (well, that's all ''he'' claims it was) with a mortal princess, given new eyes, joined the Hunters of Artemis (the only male) only to fall in love with Artemis and be rejected, cursed by Apollo who feared Artemis might grow weak in her vows of maidenhood, cursed to hunt down every beast of the earth till [[MotherNature his own mother, Gaia]] had to send a giant scorpion to kill him, and finally sent down to Tartarus.
203	* YouCantFightFate: Tried to fight his destiny and fell in love with the goddess he was supposed to destroy. Being rejected, cursed, and finally cast down into Tartarus for his troubles caused him to accept his fate and fight the gods.
204	[[/folder]]
205
206	[[folder:Mimas]]
207	Giant counterpart to Hephaestus. Resides in the Temple of Fear.
208
209	----
210	* DontThinkFeel: The only way to defeat him. It's stated more or less word-for-word by Piper.
211	* WalkingTechbane: Specifically invoked, as he was made to counter the blacksmith of the gods. Around him, "maps are misread, devices break, data is lost, and the finest minds turn to mush" (which is why Annabeth has such a hard time with him).
212	[[/folder]]
213
214	[[folder:Periboia]]
215	Porphyrion's daughter and princess of the Giants. Counterpart to Aphrodite.
216
217	----
218	* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:At the hands of Piper and Aphrodite.]]
219	* DesignatedGirlFight: Her on-screen opponents are all women. [[spoiler:She's first tasked to capture Annabeth, then has to face her and Piper. Later, when the gods arrive, she's killed at the hands of Piper and her mother, Aphrodite.]]
220	* HarmlessFreezing: [[spoiler:Is frozen by Piper's Boread sword, but manages to thaw herself later.]]
221	* ImpaledPalm: [[spoiler:Piper charmspeaks her to miss her knife shot and impale her own palm.]]
222	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only female Giant we see, and also the only one not explicitly a child of Gaia.
223	[[/folder]]
224
225	[[folder:Thoon]]
226	The counterpart of The Fates.
227	----
228	* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:Piper cuts his right hand while he is performing a ritual to sacrifice Percy and Annabeth. He reattaches it back, though.]]
229	* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:By the Moirae.]]
230	* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is deep enough to shake the ground.
231	* TapOnTheHead: [[spoiler:Gets smacked by the Moirae's clubs multiple times. Jason describes it as the weirdest thing he sees of all the giant battles, considering that the Moirae take the form of old women.]]
232	[[/folder]]
233
234	[[folder:Hippolytus]]
235	The counterpart of Hermes.
236	----
237	* KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler:Perishes alongside the other giants but the one who defeats him is not identified.]]
238	* WeHardlyKnewYe: Is described the least, and only appears in the final book of ''The Heroes of Olympus'' series, and unlike Mimas and Thoon, doesn't play any memorable role.
239	[[/folder]]
240
241	!!Revived Mortals
242	[[folder:Midas]]
243	The legendary king with the golden touch. Didn't learn his lesson after all.
244
245	----
246	* AesopAmnesia: Defied. He never really learned the anti-greed lesson his story is often used to teach to begin with. He simply learned how to reverse the unintended consequences of his gift.
247	* AffablyEvil: Midas acts friendly to his guests while trying to turn them into gold.
248	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Midas forces demigods that find him to choose between being turned to gold or being murdered by his son, he works for Gaia, and runs a gold selling scam.
249	* EnergyWeapon: Not himself, but he bought a few to protect the airspace over his home.
250	* {{Jerkass}}: Unlike the story he never learned his lesson and gave up his power.
251	** Explicitly points out that the story never really ended with him "learning his lesson", just that he learned how to restore the things his curse affected.
252	%%MadHatter: Midas.
253	* TakenForGranite: Midas's power is to turn anything he touches to gold. People are part of everything.

256	[[folder:Lityerses]]
257	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lityerses.jpg]]
258
259	-->''"My friends call me Lit, but my enemies call me Death!"''
260
261	Demigod son of King Midas and Demeter. In ancient times, he challenged people to harvesting contests and beheaded those he beat and became known as the "Reaper of Men", "Death" and "Lit". He was finally killed by Hercules but came back through the Doors of Death.
262
263	----
264	* BloodKnight: Enjoys swordfighting.
265	* TheBusCameBack: He shows up in ''[[Literature/TheTrialsOfApollo The Dark Prophecy]]'', six books after his initial appearance.
266	* CoveredInScars: He is covered in scars from his swordfights.
267	%%HotBlooded: Lit.
268	* HeelFaceTurn: He pulls one after [[spoiler:being saved from [[YouHaveFailedMe Commodus trying to kill him for losing in a skirmish against some Hunters]]]].
269	* InSeriesNickname: He usually goes by "Lit" now.
270	* RelatedInTheAdaptation: In the original myths his mother was unnamed. Here he is a demigod son of Demeter, to which he attributes his skills with the blade ("[Reaping]'s just the flipside of sowing").
271	[[/folder]]
272
273	[[folder:Medea]]
274	A powerful sorceress, granddaughter of Helios. She was recruited by Caligula to help with his plan to become the New Sun. For tropes about her, see [[Characters/TheCampHalfBloodSeriesTriumvirateHoldings here]].
275	[[/folder]]

277	[[folder:Phineas]]
278	A blind man with the gift of prophecy brought back to life by Gaia. He gets killed by poison in a bet between him and Percy when Gaia decides to spare Percy rather than him.
279	----
280	* AnimalNemesis: He hates harpies.
281	* BigEater: He's making up for lost time.
282	* BlindSeer: The mythological Phineas is one of the oldest examples out there.
283	* SmugSnake: Constantly flaunts his gift of prophecy to Percy, Hazel and Frank. Not to mention he was overconfident in his role of Gaia's seer... only to learn too late she considers Percy having more value alive than him.
284	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: He still had some, just not as much as Percy.
285	[[/folder]]

287	[[folder:Otrera]]
288	The first queen of the Amazons. She was sent to claim the throne from her modern successor through combat and lead the Amazons in service of Gaia.
289	----
290	* ActionGirl: Part of being an Amazon.
291	* DeathIsCheap: After she's killed she comes back again the next day.
292	* ExactWords: She uses this against the Amazons. Their code allows a challenger to fight the current queen to the death for the throne, but says nothing about what to do if the defeated challenger rises from the dead and repeats the challenge.
293	[[/folder]]
294
295	[[folder:Sciron]]
296	Son of Poseidon and bandit extraordinaire.
297	----
298	* BrilliantButLazy: Odd example; he finds his hydrokinetic gifts as a son of Poseidon too much of a hassle to master, so instead he nurtured an exceptional skill in marksmanship.
299	* ExactWords: Swears on Styx to send Jason and Hazel down the cliff once he gets what he wants out of them. They pick up on the odd wording.
300	* FauxAffablyEvil: Acts amicable and reasonable but it's a facade to execute people as unexpectedly as possible.
301	* FearsomeFoot: Tells Hazel and Jason that they have to clean his feet to let him go. Neither of them are happy about it, because his feet are absolutely ''disgusting'', but also because as soon as you bend down, he kicks you right off the cliff.
302	* ImprobableAimingSkills: He takes pride in this. Hazel compares him to a son of Apollo.
303	* KarmicDeath: Like in his original legend, he was tricked and kicked off the cliff he intended to send the hero(es) down from and eaten by his own giant turtle.
304	* PetMonstrosity: Poseidon gifted him a giant sea turtle.

319	* AnIcePerson: Displays the greatest prowess in this among the North Winds.
320	%%IceQueen: More like Ice Princess.

322	* TheMole: [[spoiler:For Gaia among the wind gods.]]
323	* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Thanks to her and her brothers' interference, the ''Argo II'' is blown into North Africa and Leo is stranded in Ogygia. Eventually this is all rectified, but the crew loses a lot of time.]]
324	* TheStarscream: To her father.
325	* UnderestimatingBadassery: [[spoiler:Shouldn't've dismissed Piper so easily, huh?]]
326	* WinterRoyalLady: The goddess of snow. She wears a white silk gown to match.

328
329	[[folder:Aeolus]]
330	Lord of the winds. Normally a servant of Olympus, he does bow to Gaia on the rare occasion she makes a direct demand. For related tropes, see [[Characters/TheCampHalfBloodSeriesMinorGods here]].

343	The titan of the North, foresight and knowledge.
344	----
345	* BearsAreBadNews: He wears a bear shaped helmet.
346	* {{BFS}}: As a titan he has a sword to match his size.
347	* CreepyBlueEyes: He has cold blue eyes, which he passed down to his granddaughter, Artemis (much to Percy's discomfort).
348	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He's genuinely sad that Kronos is near permanently dissipated and greets Iapetus with joy when he thinks he's thrown off the Lethe's effects. He also loves Leto dearly.
349	* PapaWolf: One of his motivations to rebel against the authority again is because of Zeus's treatment of his daughter Leto.
350	* PerpetualSmiler: Which Percy notes is passed down to Apollo.
351	* AnIcePerson: As the titan of the North he wields power over cold.
352	* TheStarscream: He plans to let the giants serve as shock troops, clearing the way for the titans to reclaim their kingdom.
353	* TheUnfought: He's never fought in any series, and may have never even been fought offscreen.
354	* VillainOfAnotherStory: He was part of Kronos's second war, though his role in it is unknown. He was either slain at some point in the war or never made it out of Tartarus.
355	[[/folder]]

357	[[folder:Krios]]
358	Titan of the South and constellations. First a part of Kronos's army, he attempts to return to the living world as part of Gaia's war. His tropes can be found [[Characters/TheCampHalfBloodSeriesForcesOfKronos here]].

367
368	The first werewolf, cursed by Jupiter when he tried to serve human meat to the King of Gods. Like Midas above, did not learn.
369	----
370	* BackForTheFinale: Reappears in the last book as a servant of Orion, out to get Reyna and Nico.
371	* EvilCounterpart: To Lupa, the mother wolf of Rome. Whereas Lupa is a trainer of heroes who's [[GoodIsNotNice aggressive but ultimately heroic]], Lycaon is a wolf in Gaia's service, seeking vengeance on the gods for his curse.
372	* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Can turn into a full wolf, among other things, and shares the infamous weakness to silver — he is hurt by the silver arrows of the Hunters. Argentum (who is made of silver) can harm his wolves, but Aurum (gold) cannot.
373	[[/folder]]
374
375	[[folder:Euryale and Stheno]]
376	Mesdusa's elder sisters sisters and fellow gorgons. First seen hunting Percy, they later join up with Polybotes's army to attack New Rome.
377	----
378	* AlienBlood: Deadly poison from the left side, healing liquid from the right.
379	* BattleTrophy: When killed they leave behind a vial of blood from each side of their body, both completely identical.
380	* BerserkButton: Euryale isn't happy when people assume they can turn people to stone like their younger sister.
381	* EvilChef: Stheno has shades of this trying to get Percy to eat some poisoned Crispy Cheese 'n' Wieners.
382	* EvilRedhead: Sort of. The snakes that make up Euryale's hair are [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral_snake Coral Snakes]].
383	* FangsAreEvil: They've got them, plus several extra snake's worth.
384	* {{Flight}}: Both have functional bronze wings.
385	* HealingSerpent: Supposedly the blood [[note]]But only from their right side.[[/note]] of all [[SnakePeople Gorgons]] are this, but only the blood of Euryale and Stheno has been acquired as a spoil and is used by Percy in a deal with [[BlindSeer Phineas]], where they each drink a vial. Gaia thankfully [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou made sure that Percy drank the healing blood]] instead of the lethal one[[note]]Thus killing Phineas by extension.[[/note]]. The healing blood returns Percy's memory.
386	* {{Medusa}}: Not that they're very happy for their little sister to be the most well known example.
387	* {{Sadist}}: Euryale has shades of this.
388	* WolverineClaws: They have razor sharp talons.

410	Son of Janus and a former praetor of New Rome who infamously lost the legion's standard in Alaska.
411	----
412	* AmbitionIsEvil: Described as being ambitious and prideful. He led the legion to Rome in a quest for glory, which resulted in a massacre.
413	* BackForTheFinale: He escapes the battle in Alaska and reappears in ''Blood of Olympus''.
414	* FateWorseThanDeath: After he's killed again he's sentenced to the Fields of Punishment for his treachery against the gods.
415	* InTheBack: He stabs Jason from behind in Ithaca.
416	* MeaningfulName: "Varus" means "crooked" in Latin, although the name most likely is a reference to the historic Publius Quinctilius Varus, who is most well known for losing three legions when ambushed.
417	* NearVillainVictory: Jason nearly dies from the wound he inflicted.
418	* TrueSight: As a son of Janus he can see through magical disguises.
419	* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Gaia only brings him back as a phantom, with a promise of full life should he succeed in his service.

For more on ''empousia'' go [[Characters/TheCampHalfBloodSeriesMonsters here]].
437
438	----
439	* AllGuysWantCheerleaders: Unfortunately it's implied to be how she gets her [[ToServeMan food]].
440	* BadassBoast: Proclaims that no hero has bested her in a thousand years. Percy's response is, "Yeah? Then you're overdue!"
441	* TheBusCameBack: She reappears in ''[[Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus The House Of Hades]]''.
442	* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: [[spoiler:First Kronos and then her creator Hecate, all to help Gaea rise and to feast on demigods.]]
443	* FieryCoverup: Does this to escape and frame Percy for setting his school on fire in the first chapter of ''[[Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians The Battle Of The Labyrinth]]''.
444	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Annabeth runs her through with her dagger.
445	* ItsPersonal: Towards Percy Jackson as revealed in ''The House Of Hades'' and probably Annabeth.
446	* KissOfDeath: She and Tammi try to entice Percy into one of these, but fail.
447	* PokeInTheThirdEye: Every time Percy sees her in a dream, he wakes up when she detects and lunges for him.
448	* PomPomGirl: As part of her cheerleader disguise.
449	* YourVampiresSuck: Kelli's speech says it all.

455	-->''"I excel at pulling strings! I'm a spider!"''
456
457	Athena's most famous rival and the mother of all spiders. Guards the Athena Parthenos against all of her children who try to claim it.
458
459	----
460	* AllWebbedUp: As a giant spider, this is part of her powers.
461	* ArchEnemy: She ''hates'' Athena.
462	* ArcVillain: Of ''The Mark of Athena'', with Otis & Ephialtes as her servants.
463	* BackForTheDead: [[spoiler:She shows up in person for literally about half a second in ''The House of Hades'', trying to kill Annabeth, only to get killed by Percy.]]
464	* BodyHorror: Her entire lower half is that of a black widow spider. [[ArchEnemy She's very bitter about that]].
465	* EnigmaticMinion: Shown to be complicit with Ephialtes and Otis, but the extent of her servitude to Gaia is never really explored. At any rate, she seems much more caught up in her own agenda.
466	* FatalFlaw: Like Annabeth, hers is {{Pride}}. Annnabeth ends up using against her to survive their encounter.
467	%%FauxAffablyEvil
468	* FinalBoss: Of ''The Mark of Athena''. She's the one preventing the Athena Parthenos from being achieved, and so the book's focal character Annabeth must face her at the end.
469	* InsufferableGenius: Annabeth herself mentally acknowledges that Arachne's artwork and various weaves are, indeed, gorgeous and might very well be better than Athena's. Of course, Arachne letting her pride in her skill go to her head is what led to her being in her present state, regardless how skilled she is.
470	* {{Pride}}: Her defining character trait. After seeing her abilities at weaving, even Annabeth is willing to admit she might very well be the superior weaver to her mother Athena, but Arachne's mistake was boasting of said abilities to Athena's face.
471	* SneakySpider: The very first spider. She has been setting traps for children of Athena who try to retrieve the Athena Parthenos for centuries.
472	* SpiderPeople: Turned into one of these by Athena, hasn't forgiven her since.

476	A suitor of Penelope in life, he returned as a ghoul rather than a living being.
477	----

479	* TheHedonist: Just as he was in life.
480	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: He's killed again when Jason runs him through.
481	* WoundThatWillNotHeal: He still has Odysseus's arrow sticking out of his neck and none of his other wounds ever close.
482	* WeCanRuleTogether: He offers Jason a chance to join Gaia's ranks.

504	* FalseFriend: He first appears claiming to be an ally, but it takes Piper less than a chapter to figure out he's lying.
505	* HalfHumanHybrid: He's a snake from the waist down, like all ''gemini''.
506	* InTheBack: Frank shoots him as he tries to flee.
507	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When his army of ''gemini'' is cut off, leaving only himself and a handful of warriors, he chooses to flee.

510
511	[[folder:Lamia]]
512	A peppy old woman who booked Claymore's event in Keeseville, New York. She's mostly an annoyance to Claymore. Only shows up in ''The Demigod Diaries''. [[spoiler:She turns out to be a monster in disguise and the half-sister of Alabaster through Hecate. She's been tracking Alabaster with the intent of murdering him on Gaia's orders, forcing him to move from town to town and constantly keep up magic barriers to hold her off. Thanks to being brought back from Tartarus by Gaia, she can't die, making it difficult for Alabaster to get rid of her for good]].
513
514	----
515	* AndIMustScream: As of the end of ''Son of Magic'', Alabaster knows a spell that will keep her essence from departing to Tartarus, meaning that if he destroys her she will be stuck as a sentient pile of dust for all eternity. Hecate thinks the threat of this should be enough to keep her at bay.
516	%%AxCrazy
517	* BitchInSheepsClothing: Hinted at later on, when after acting like an enthusiastic and sweet, if rather irritating, grandmotherly old lady to Claymore, she calls him to demand he hand over the card about Alabaster's address to her for no discerned reason. [[spoiler:Comes to fruition when she shows her true nature as a monster who works for Gaia]].
518	* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:The Cain to Alabaster's Abel]].
519	%%DarkActionGirl
520	* DisproportionateRetribution: Yes, Hera killing her children was wrong, but crafting a magic to let monsters find demigods everywhere, and then keeping it running, racking up demigod casualties, for ''three thousand plus years'', is way overreacting.
521	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:She wants to bring back her children, which Gaia promised to do for her. For her, if killing Alabaster means having them back, then so be it]].
522	* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:In the past, when she was a Libyan queen, she was courted by Zeus and had two children she loved. When Hera found out about her relationship with Zeus, she murdered Lamia's children, and in front of her, no less. Needless to say, Lamia didn't take it well]].
523	* GenkiGirl: An elderly version, but she's quite enthusiastic and full of praise for Claymore after he's finished with the event. [[spoiler:Subverted, however, when she's revealed to be a monster]].
524	* GreaterScopeVillain: She's the one who granted monsters the power to detect demigods, meaning that she's probably got more demigod deaths on her hands than any other villain.
525	* {{Hypocrite}}: Her chosen way of getting revenge on Hera for [[spoiler:killing her children]] is to [[spoiler:give monsters the ability to track half-bloods, causing the deaths of countless demigods, with the intent that "after a few thousand more of you die, Hera, the goddess of family, will finally understand my pain!"]] ... Except Hera doesn't even ''like'' half-bloods nor does she have any half-blood children of her own, so Lamia just sentenced untold numbers of children ''just like her own'' to death for no reason.
526	* MamaBear: [[spoiler:A twisted variant. She loves her children dearly and will bring them back to life at any cost, even if it means working for Gaia and murdering people]].
527	* MisplacedRetribution: She basically cursed all demigods to show Hera what it's like to lose her children. Problem is, Hera has no mortal children whatsoever, and even explicitly disapproves of the ones born to married gods (such as her husband).
528	* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler:She only appears in a short story in ''The Demigod Diaries'', but what she did before both ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' and ''Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus'' even started -- namely, giving monsters the power to sense demigods and track them down by their scent -- is a big factor in the story]]. She probably has more demigod deaths on her hands than any other character in the story.

535	----
536	* BreathWeapon: He breathes fire, though if he gets wet he can't use it.
537	* BrilliantButLazy: Most likely inherited a talent for engineering from his father but would much rather invest his efforts into counterfeiting already existing things.
538	* EvilRedhead: Called the "ginger giant" by Annabeth.
539	* HonestJohnsDealership: Sells goods he admits are all stolen and forged.
540	* ShaggyDogStory: He stole the caduceus in order to cut off communication between the gods and demigods. Just months later, Zeus/Jupiter orders communication cut himself.
541	* ShoddyKnockoffProduct: He wants to become a god of counterfeit products.

547	----
548	* AirborneMooks: Their basic role in the story.
549	* BlowYouAway: One of their main powers.
550	* {{Flight}}: They're made of wind, it would be harder for them to set foot on the ground than to fly.
551	* NoSell: Because they're so chaotic they're immune to attempts to control them that aren't based on weather control powers such as [[CompellingVoice charmspeak]].
552	* ShockAndAwe: Lighting is their primary offensive power.
553	* WeatherManipulation: Enough of them together can create powerful storms.

575	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: One of them flees after its companions are killed by a Spartoi.
576	* SnakesAreSinister: Cunning, deadly, and commonly used as immediate backup by a giant, they definitely qualify.

593	[[folder:Gemini]]
594	The ''gemini'' (singular ''geminus''), were the original inhabitants of Athens. They chose Athena over Poseidon, and for their loyalty were eventually driven out of their city in favor of humans. Now they seek revenge, allying with Gaia to reclaim their ancient hope and achieve revenge on the gods who abandoned them.
595	----
596	* BerserkButton: They absolutely hate children of Hades. Not even being entranced by charmspeak would prevent them from attacking.
597	* HalfHumanHybrid: Human from the waist up, snake from the waist down.
