10!Main Heroes
11[[folder:Jason]]
12->Actor: Jack Donnelly
13
14Jason has been searching for his father for twenty years without answer. Now his whole life is about to change.
15
16!!!Tropes:
17* ActionHero: Jason's a very capable fighter, who is incredibly agile and flexible and always jumps into the fray.
18* BadassBoast: Jason to the High Priestess of Dionysus:
19-->'''Jason''': You should fear me as they [Satyrs] do! I am Jason, slayer of the Minotaur. ... I will slay you as I did the Earth Bull. I will tear down your temple and I will scatter your followers to the four winds!
20* BlessedWithSuck: Being blessed by the Gods grants enhanced physical abilities (such as strength, speed and durability) as well as a few other powers, but has the snag it makes it incredibly easy for them to be corrupted.
21* TheChosenOne: According to the Oracle. Just what he is chosen for she is rather vague on, though.
22* CompositeCharacter: Has the name of the Greek hero Jason but fulfills the role of Theseus in slaying the Minotaur and being Ariadne's love interest. He also shows interest in Medea, like the mythological Jason.
23* DanceBattler: Relies heavily on his incredible agility and flexibility during fights.
24* DisappearedDad: Jason's father disappeared into the same vortex that he did, and it's implied he came to some bad end in the world of Atlantis. Jason still doesn't know the whole story. Its revealed in the season 1 finale his name is Aeson, and he is alive, but he lives in a leper's community (its implied he was formerly the king, but Pasiphae destroyed him), he meets Jason, but doesn't reveal his identity to him.
25* HonorBeforeReason: A defining trait of Jason's, he will leap to help others regardless of the risk to himself.
26* TheLeader
27* MadeOfIron: Due to being blessed by the Gods, Jason can take more punishment than a normal man should be able to. He can still be seriously wounded, but he recovers and heals much quicker than he should.
28* MissingMom: The Oracle claims not to know anything about her. She's lying, it's actually Pasiphae.
29* MrFanservice
30* NakedOnArrival: How Jason finds himself on arrival in Atlantis.
31* NoInfantileAmnesia: Downplayed. He finds Atlantis strangely familiar, but has no specific memories.
32* NoSell: Due to being blessed by the Gods, Jason is immune to Medusa's gaze.
33* ScrewDestiny: Doesn't take too kindly to finding out he will one day kill Medusa. He walks out of the Oracle's temple cursing her and Atlantis, determined to avert his foreseen fate.
34* TookALevelInJerkass: [[spoiler: Following find out that Pasiphae is his mother, Jason's "heart is blackened" turning him cold and uncaring, as well as more ruthless, and is even tempted to join Pasiphae. It is due to the fact being blessed also leaves him open to corruption. It takes his father Aeson to snap him out of it.]]
35* TrappedInAnotherWorld: ''Twice'' apparently. The Oracle claims that he was born in Atlantis and taken to our world as a child.
36* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Although preferring to rely on Agility and speed, he's got some serious skills, considering he competed in (and would have won) the Pankration, after a few days training, when it normally takes months.
37
38[[/folder]]
39
40[[folder:Pythagoras]]
41->Actor: Robert Emms
42
43Pythagoras’ wide-eyed innocence and awkward naïveté belies his brilliant mind.
44
45!!!Tropes:
46* AccidentalMurder: Accidentally killed his father by pushing him back resulting in him cracking his head when he attacked his mother in a drunken rage. His younger brother Arcas finds out in "The Furies", having previously believed him to be murdered.
47* ActionSurvivor
48* BadassBookworm: Definitely shaping up to this, but he hasn't done anything too Badass just yet.
49** Completely becomes this in Season Two, where he picks up some skill in sword fighting.
50* CelibateEccentricGenius: As Hercules puts it, he's "only interested in [his] triangles"
51** When Hercules (dealing with the cold shoulder from Medusa) makes a comment about how he doesn't understand the human heart, he responds he's actually quite interested in anatomy.
52** Averted in Season 2 when he falls in love with Icarus.
53* TheEeyore: In season 2 Pythagoras has a tendency to be pessimistic about the heroes' chances.
54* FatAndSkinny: The Skinny to Hercules' Fat.
55* FriendlessBackground: In the pilot, he's sentenced to death by Minotaur. The two people he spends his last night with are Hercules (who he met on a loan deal) and Jason (who he met yesterday). They all quickly become true friends though.
56* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: While the real Pythagoras was a brilliant mathematician and something of a polymath, he certainly wasn't a member of a three-man band with Jason and Hercules.
57* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: Hercules and Jason are pretty much his only friends. Lampshaded by himself at least once.
58* TheMedic: Is the one who treats the others' wounds and looks after Medusa when she is cursed.
59* MrExposition: He's generally the one to explain the curse of the week, and how to fix it.
60* NonActionGuy: Most of the time, he does help when he can.
61** Moves out of this in Season Two.
62* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Mathematics, biology, medicine, curses...if you can name it, odds are Pythagoras knows something about it. Justified in that science is not far advanced enough to have disciplines.
63* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler: In episode three of the Season Two, he learns from Hercules (who learned from the Oracle) that Pasiphae is Jason's mother, but is warned Jason must never find out or it would lead to his corruption]]
64* TheSmartGuy
65* StraightGay: Everyone, including his best friends, assumed he had no interest in love. As it turns out, he had no interest in women.
66* TookALevelInBadass: At some point between Season One and Two, he gains some skills with a sword allowing him to help up in conflicts though he is still the weakest fighter.
67[[/folder]]
68
69[[folder:Hercules]]
70->Actor: Creator/MarkAddy
71
72Is he really the man of legend or just a figment of his own imagination?
73
74!!!Tropes:
75* {{Acrofatic}}: When Hercules flees from the Cult of Dionysus in the forest we see that for a man of his bulk he can run pretty damn fast! He also manages, if not very gracefully, to leap the bull.
76* BeardnessProtectionProgram: His suggestion for evading [[spoiler:Circe.]]
77* BecomingTheBoast: He's on his way.
78* TheBigGuy
79* BigEater: Certainly has a thing for food, he even at one point claims to like Pies better than Jason.
80* BoisterousBruiser
81* ButtMonkey: Somewhat.
82* CarryABigStick: In the second to last episode of the first season he [[DualWield Dual Wields]] a club and his sword, as a reference to his mythological counterpart's preferred weapon.
83* CharacterDevelopment: Over the course of the first series, Hercules becomes noticeably braver, and more heroic.
84* ChivalrousPervert: Hercules is quite the womanizer, but he's loyal to his friends and genuinely loves Medusa.
85* CowardlyLion: whenever our trio finds themselves in danger, he always offers at least a perfunctory proposal that they flee or otherwise act in a cowardly manner, but he always retracts the idea whenever Jason dismisses it, and he has shown himself to be very brave in the completion of missions or the protection of his friends.
86* DrinkingOnDuty: How he manages to let the warehouse full of Frankincense get stolen while he was performing guard duty.
87* FatAndSkinny: The Fat to Pythagoras' Skinny.
88* FriendToAllChildren: Adores Oedipus.
89* HeartBrokenBadass: Following losing Medusa. [[spoiler: Gets it much worse after Medusa's death.]]
90* HiddenDepths: Despite being a notorious womanizer, he appears genuinely interested in seriously pursuing Medusa. His interaction with baby Oedipus also reveals that he has a soft spot for children.
91* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While he often suggests the most selfish course of action, he will inevitably end up doing the right thing.
92* MilesGloriosus: To a certain degree. he's not completely unheroic but he vastly exaggerates his courage and prowess
93* OneHeadTaller: Than Medusa.
94* PapaWolf: Repeatedly towards the baby in Episode 4.
95* RetiredBadass: Strongly implied, not just by Hercules himself but by Pythagoras and by the few times Hercules does get in a fight.
96** By Season Two, its safe to say he's come out of retirement.
97* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler: In the second part of the Season Two premier, he learns that Pasiphae is Jason's mother, but is warned Jason must never find out or it would lead to his corruption]]
98* SmarterThanYouLook: Can be quite cunning and crafty at times.
99* StoutStrength/ SuperStrength: Despite his size he truly is very strong, even able to bend iron bars and snap chains.
100* WrestlerInAllOfUs: When he ever does fight, he proves to actually be not that bad a wrestler.
101
102[[/folder]]
103!Royal Court
104
105[[folder:Princess Ariadne]]
106->Actor: Aiysha Hart
107
108Ariadne is heir to the throne. She cares deeply for the people of Atlantis and her sacred duties to protect them.
109
110!!!Tropes:
111* TheChainsOfCommanding: As soon as [[spoiler:she becomes queen]], she has to deal with an invasion, her demoralized troops deserting, and the city nearly falling on top of [[spoiler:her father's death.]] It's clearly taken a toll on her.
112* DeadpanSnarker: Particularly when Pasiphae's around.
113* TheHighQueen: [[spoiler: In the season 2 premiere, after Minos's death.]]
114* RebelliousPrincess
115* YoureNotMyMother: Pulls this on Pasiphae in episode three of the first series.
116[[/folder]]
117
118[[folder:Heptarian]]
119->Actor: Oliver Walker
120
121Pasiphae's nephew, a bullying nobleman betrothed to Ariadne.
122
123!!!Tropes:
124* AristocratsAreEvil
125* CombatPragmatist: Is a capable fighter, but is in no way afraid to cheat or fight dirty. It's treated as a character flaw by pretty much everyone, even Pasiphae, since he's trying for the throne and thus needs to be seen as honourable.
126* TheDragon: To Pasiphae, during the first season.
127* EvenEvilHasStandards: He is at first unwilling to kill Therus, as he is the kings son and is only convinced by Pasiphae over fears of what Minos would do to him if he ever found out Therus was still alive.
128* {{Expy}}: He's got a lot of similarities to [[Series/Merlin2008 Arthur]], but like other characters it's subverted. He's introduced being a jerkass and fighting the hero, is under the thumb of the BigBad who is his relative, is royalty, [[spoiler:but he never redeems himself or shows HiddenDepths, and is killed by the hero at the end of the season]].
129* MommasBoy: He's under the thumb of his aunt, Pasiphae, with whom he appears to have a substitute mother-son relationship.
130* {{Jerkass}}: His EstablishingCharacterMoment has him attempt to beat an old man for "insulting" him by having his cart break down in front of him, then claiming further insult because the man [[InsaneTrollLogic isn't moving it faster]].
131* PrinceCharmless: Ariadne finds him to be lacking any charm.
132* WrestlerInAllOfUs: His preferred fighting style, as he's very good at Greek style wrestling, justified in that he's been training for and competing in the Pankration since he was a boy.
133[[/folder]]
134
135[[folder:King Minos]]
136->Actor: Creator/AlexanderSiddig
137
138As King of Atlantis, Minos oversees a prosperous city and a mighty army.
139
140!!!Tropes:
141* {{Expy}}: {{Subverted}} With his line in the trailer ''"You dare to defy your king?"'' many assumed he was just an expy of [[Series/Merlin2008 Uther]], however his character arc has been quite different and is more a sympathetic character with a tragic fate at the hands of his wife ahead of him.
142* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Dies off-screen just before the events of the season Two Premier]]
143* PapaWolf: As far as we know, he's not even aware that Pasiphae was poisoning him, but the news that she tried to execute his daughter is more than enough for him to turn against her.
144* PrinciplesZealot: While he's not the nicest guy in the world, he does appear to at least [[LawfulNeutral honour the laws he enforces]]. If a condemned prisoner survives their virtual death sentence, he releases them immediately, accepting they have the favour of Poseidon.
145** Invoked by Ariadne by noting how Jason would have bested Heptarian in Pankration if Jason chose to but showed him mercy is a sign from the gods their engagement should be absolved. After a moment to think on it, Minos agrees.
146* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Minos might be elitist and strict, but he is also reasonably fair, takes his responsibilities seriously and tries to keep his kingdom safe.
147* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: He absolves Ariadne of treason without even knowing the circumstances, purely because she is his daughter and no one can defy him.
148* TheUsurper: With Pasiphae's help, he usurped the throne from Aeson.
149
150[[/folder]]
151
152[[folder:Queen Pasiphae]]
153->Actor: Sarah Parish
154
155As the wife of the King, there are those who say Pasiphae is the real power behind the throne in Atlantis. She also secretly practices witchcraft.
156
157!!!Tropes:
158* AmbitionIsEvil: She is driven purely by a desire for power.
159* BigBad: A unusual example, as, whilst she is the most dangerous opponent in the series and drives its main conflict, she doesn't actively or directly oppose the heroes (most of the time).
160* TheChessmaster: And ''how''!
161* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Before the series began, Pasiphae betrayed her sister Circe by scarring her face and ruining her life. She betrayed her first husband [[spoiler: Aeson]] by helping Minos usurp the throne of Atlantis, she betrayed Minos by framing his son for attempting to usurp the throne, then she betrays Minos again by poisoning him.
162* DeadpanSnarker: Has her moments.
163* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Inverted, here we have an evil mother who still loves her good son, Pasiphae spends the first half of the second Season focusing on Jason right up until [[spoiler: Jason (still unaware she's his mother) almost strangles her to death. After this she accepts he'll never love her, even if he finds out the truth and opts to have him killed. After this she begins denying her love for her son, but it's clear she's in denial.]]
164* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Loves her son dearly, to the point where she'll kill her own men rather than let him be harmed.
165* EvilMentor: Towards Medea in Season Two.
166* TheExile: [[spoiler:In Season 2. She plans to come back.]]
167* FauxAffablyEvil: She tries to be polite and friendly. But underneath it all she is completely ruthless and will hurt and kill anyone who gets in her way.
168** For much of the series, anyway. In the finale... [[VillainousBreakdown things change]].
169* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen
170* LadyOfBlackMagic: Pasiphae fits the trope to a tee.
171* LukeIAmYourFather: "Touched by the Gods Part 2" introduces Jason's father, who Pasiphae recognises. He reveals to her that Jason is their son.
172* MadeOfIron: Takes an arrow to the chest which only knocks her out cold, upon awakening she pulls it out, and survives and is back to normal in less than two days. Like her son, her durability stems from being blessed.
173* ManipulativeBitch: She plays Minos like a violin for the first season, only loosing her hold after he discovers she tried to kill Ariadne.
174* NoSell: Due to being blessed by the Gods, she is immune to Medusa's gaze.
175* PragmaticVillainy: She won't kill Ariadne outright, as killing Poseidon's servant would turn the court against her.
176%%* VainSorceress
177* VillainousBSOD: When Aeson tells her Jason is their son.
178* WickedStepmother: To Ariadne.
179[[/folder]]
180
181[[folder:Cilix]]
182->Actor: Lorcan Cranitch
183A noble of the Atlantean court and advisor to the Queen
184* ChronicBackStabbingDisorder: Before the series began he helped Pasiphae and Minos usurp the throne from Aeson. During the second season he [[spoiler:helps Pasiphae usurp the throne from Ariadne, then when Pasiphae starts to lose allies he immediately makes plans to usurp the throne for himself, putting these plans into action when Pasiphae dies.]]
185* EvilChancellor: He is an expert at manipulating the law and public opinion against the royals he pretends to advise.
186* TheMole: [[spoiler:One of Pasiphae's most active agents inside Atlantis.]]
187* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: [[spoiler:Subverted. Pasiphae questions how she can trust someone who has betrayed every previous ruler, but Cilix points out that he risked his life to help her, and Pasiphae decides to keep him around.]]
188** [[spoiler: Eventually played straight by General Goran after Cilix tries to usurp the throne for himself. ]]
189[[/folder]]
190
191[[folder:Ramos]]
192->Actor: Joe Dixon
193
194The King’s General is a battle-hardened warrior who is duty-bound to protect the royal family.
195
196!!!Tropes:
197* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a few slashes on the right side of his head showing him as a seasoned warrior.
198%%* FourStarBadass
199* HeroicSacrifice: He helps Jason and the guys rescue Ariadne in the finale, staying behind to cover their escape. He manages to kill several guards and still stand after being wounded, but is ultimately killed by Heptarian.
200* KilledOffForReal: See HeroicSacrifice.
201* LoopholeAbuse: He serves the King. So if he wants to conspire with the Queen's would-be assassin to rescue the King's daughter from execution, he's technically just doing his job.
202* MauveShirt: Given a few lines and some token character stuff so he stands out from your average {{mook}} or enforcer.
203[[/folder]]
204
205[[folder: Dion]]
206->Actor: Vincent Regan
207
208The new commander of Atlantis's forces and a member of the royal council. He also serves as Ariadne's advisor.
209
210!!!Tropes:
211* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler: In the very next episode after his death he is accidentally risen by Pasiphae, along with the other dead. He is put down when the spell is broken.]]
212* FatherToHisMen: Case example, him reassuring the soldiers before they go into battle.
213* FourStarBadass: The commander of Atlantis's army and a very capable warrior in his own right.
214* TheGoodChancellor: While not specifically having this rank, he never the less takes this role, giving Ariadne advice on matters and serving her to the death.
215* KilledOffForReal:[[spoiler: He dies of an Arrow wound in "The Marriage of True Minds" after saying goodbye to his queen.]]
216* UndyingLoyalty: Towards his Queen
217%%* WeHardlyKnewYe
218[[/folder]]
219
220!Citizens of Atlantis
221
222[[folder:Medusa]]
223->Actor: Jemima Rooper
224
225A woman for whom Hercules develops feelings after Jason frees her from the Maenads' cult.
226
227!!!Tropes:
228* PutOnABus: Following her curse, she goes into self imposed exile to keep everyone else safe.
229** TheBusCameBack: Returns in late Season 2 "A Fate Worse Than Death"
230* ForegoneConclusion: At the end of her first appearance, she's cursed by the dying High Priestess of Dionysus. She is eventually transformed into a gorgon by PandorasBox in the ninth episode.
231* LetThemDieHappy: Medusa is rescued from the Maenads along with another girl whose dying, elderly father had tasked Jason and friends to save her; but the girl [[spoiler:kills herself rather than reveal the cult's secrets, with her last words being that her father is dead to her.]] Medusa comforts the old man by lying to him that his daughter is happy and eloped with a man she loved.
232* GorgeousGorgon: As of 'Pandora's Box'. Her transformation gives her snake hair, but doesn't change anything else about her outward appearance.
233* {{Medusa}}: Naturally, however this show actually has her as a character before she was cursed to become a monster. Which occurred when she opened PandorasBox, in "Pandora's Box".
234* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Jason's alarmed after hearing her name, and asks if it's a common one around Atlantis.
235* PluckyGirl: Medusa is an older version. When we meet her, she's been keeping up a facade of being brainwashed for weeks, and manages to save Hercules' life through some quick thinking. [[spoiler: As you'd expect, this goes downhill when she becomes a gorgon]].
236* {{Tomboy}}: Described as such in publicity material.
237[[/folder]]
238
239[[folder:The Oracle]]
240->Actor: Juliet Stevenson
241
242A celebrated and revered figure, the Oracle knows only too well the impact her prophecies can have on men.
243
244!!!Tropes:
245%%* AndStarring
246* BigGood: she cannot interfere directly in most matters, but she is trying her best to allow Jason to achieve his best destiny
247%%* ExactWords: Many times.
248* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Is killed by Medusa in "A Fate Worse Than Death"]]
249* LesserOfTwoEvils: When faced with the choice of either [[TheUsurper Minos]] or [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Pasiphae]], she chooses Minos.
250* SelfFulfillingProphecy[=/=]ProphecyTwist: She's well aware of both these tropes.
251* TakenForGranite [[spoiler: Her fate at the hands of Medusa]].
252* UnreliableNarrator: She's deliberately misled people on more than one occasion. Pasiphae is shocked and angered the Oracle knew from the start Jason was her own son and the Oracle never told her.
253* VaguenessIsComing: She speaks a lot of coming dangers and how Jason will be the one to fight them.
254[[/folder]]
255
256[[folder:Melas]]
257->Actor: Ken Bones
258
259A High Priest in the Temple of Poseidon, Melas is a trusted ally of the Oracle.
260
261!!!Tropes:
262* BaldMystic: Has a shaved head to complement his HighPriest position and spirituality.
263* GoodShepherd: Probably best shown in "Touched by the Gods" where he visits Ariadne who is awaiting her execution and offers to pray with her.
264* HighPriest: Of Poseidon.
265* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Betrays Ariadne and the Oracle in Season two, due to Pasiphae kidnapping Cassandra]].
266* TheMole: [[spoiler: To Pasiphae in season 2]]
267* MouthOfSauron: Heroic variation. The Oracle cannot leave the Temple (or at least we have never seen her do so), so any time someone needs help outside the temple or the Oracle needs to fetch someone, he's sent out.
268[[/folder]]
269
270[[folder: Korinna]]
271->Actor: Hannah Arterton
272
273Princess Ariadne's loyal handmaiden, whom she uses as a go-between when Ariadne herself cannot be seen leaving the palace
274
275!!!Tropes:
276* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She is a sweet person with blonde hair.
277* KilledOffForReal: Pasiphae has her killed for helping Ariadne
278* SacrificialLamb: to prove that Pasiphae means business
279* UndyingLoyalty: to Ariadne
280[[/folder]]
281
282!Recurring Antagonists
283
284[[folder: Circe]]
285->Actor: Lucy Cohu
286A powerful Witch, Circe is Pasiphae's sister. Pasiphae ruined her life and now she is consumed with revenge, and does not care who she hurt to get it.
287
288!!!Tropes:
289* AdaptationalVillainy: While somewhat malevolent in the myths, as she turned all Odysseus's crew into pigs, Odysseus did manage to earn her respect after he outwitted her (with some help from the gods) and she was even willing to let him and his crew rest on her island for a whole year. Here although treated somewhat sympathetically she is show to be mentally unstable and willing to hurt anyone in her pursuit of vengeance.
290* {{AxCrazy}}: Circe is unstable, and very quickly goes from calm to resorting to homicide, complete with a maniacal grin.
291* BigBadEnsemble: With Pasiphae during the first season.
292* DealWithTheDevil: Offers one to Hercules, giving him Medusa's love but not telling him that the spell will kill her over time and forces Jason to one to save her, and Hercules, by forcing him to kill Pasiphae.
293* DiskOneFinalBoss: Is killed in the first part of the season one finale, leaving the heroes to have to deal with Pasiphae.
294* DreamWalker: Circe visits Jason in his dreams to remind him of there deal forcing him to kill Pasiphae.
295* KilledOffForReal: By Jason
296* LonersAreFreaks: Circe lives alone in a cave far away from civilisation, and is presented as cold and mentally unstable. However she only does so because her sister took away her life, and forced her into this existence. It is due to this that she is unstable.
297* ManipulativeBitch: Circe was able to manipulate Hercules desperation so that he would (unwittingly) go through with her plan.
298* MindOverMatter: Her main power, she normally uses it to throw people around.
299* {{Revenge}}: Circe is consumed with vengeance against Pasiphae and forces Jason to try and fulfill her vengeance by threatening to kill him and his friends
300* TakingYouWithMe: Her last act is summon several skeleton warriors to kill Jason after he fatally wounds her.
301* TragicVillain: Circe once had a good life, a home and a man who love her. However her own sister ruined it, causing her to lose everything, meaning she now lives in isolation in a cave. The effects have driven her into insanity, and left her obsessed with gaining vengeance upon her sister.
302* VillainTeleportation: Utilises this in her battle against Jason.
303* WidowWitch: A sympathetic version, Circe was once happily married; however, Pasiphae ruined her life and took her husband. It is partially because of this she seeks revenge.
304
305[[/folder]]
306
307[[folder: Medea]]
308->Actor: Creator/AmyManson
309The Princess of Colchis, Pasiphae's new apprentice and follower.
310
311!!!Tropes:
312* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Her reason for following Pasiphae: she is the only one who has ever treated her kindly, while others have shunned her due to her status.
313* TheDragon: To Pasiphae.
314** CoDragons: Shares this role to Pasiphae with Goran.
315* LeParkour: Shows some minor skills in this, when stealing the Palladium.
316* HotWitch: A Witch of Colchis to be exact, same as Circe and Pasiphae.
317* MindOverMatter: One of her powers, she is able to throw a grown man across a room.
318* NoSell: As she has been blessed by the gods, she's immune to Medusa's gaze.

320* StudentAndMasterTeam: With Pasiphae.
321* VillainousCrush: Develops one for Jason.
322
323[[/folder]]
324
325[[folder: Goran]]
326->Actor: Peter De Jersey
327General of the Colchean forces and Pasiphae's second in command.
328
329!!!Tropes:
330
331* TheDragon: To Pasiphae.
332** CoDragons: Shares this role to Pasiphae with Medea.
333* EvilCounterpart: Comes across as one to Dion, as he shares the same role he does to Ariadne, to Pasiphae.
334* ScarilyCompetentTracker: Finding as small a clue as the pit of a plum is enough for him to track down the heroes.
335
336[[/folder]]
337
338[[folder: Telemon]]
