}}'''Perseus''' "'''Percy'''" '''Jackson''' is a fictional character, the [[title character]] and [[narrator]] of [[Rick Riordan]]'s ''[[Percy Jackson & the Olympians]]'' series. He is also one of seven main [[protagonists]] of the sequel series ''[[The Heroes of Olympus]]'', appearing in every book except ''[[The Lost Hero]],'' and appears in the ''[[Camp Half-Blood chronicles#The Trials of Apollo|Trials of Apollo]]'' series, making him one of the few [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Camp Half-Blood Chronicles|characters]] to appear in all three series of the [[Camp Half-Blood chronicles]]. He has also been a narrator and protagonist in Riordan's Greco-Roman/Egyptian crossover stories, part of the ''[[Demigods and Magicians]]'' collection. The character serves as the narrator in ''[[Percy Jackson's Greek Gods]]'' and ''[[Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes]]'', also by Rick Riordan.

== Creation and conception ==
Development of the character Percy Jackson began when Rick Riordan started inventing stories for his son Haley Riordan, who was diagnosed with [[Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder|ADHD]] and [[dyslexia]] in the spring of 2002.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Williams |first1=Sally |date=8 February 2010 |title=Percy Jackson: My Boy's Own Adventure |url=https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2010/feb/08/percy-jackson-rick-riordan |access-date=27 May 2015 |work=The Guardian}}</ref><ref name="Dia">{{cite book |author=Riordan, Rick |url=https://archive.org/details/demigoddiaries0000rior |title=The Demigod Diaries |publisher=Disney-Hyperion |year=2012 |isbn=978-1-4231-6300-8 |location=New York |author-link=Rick Riordan |url-access=registration}}</ref>{{rp|179}} When Haley was in [[second grade]] and he was studying [[Greek mythology]], he asked his father to tell him [[Bedtime story|bedtime stories]] based on those myths. When his father ran out of ideas, Haley suggested that he make up new stories that combined existing mythological characters with new ones. This led Riordan to create the fictional character of Percy Jackson and the story of his travels across the United States to recover Zeus's lightning-bolt. Haley then{{when|reason=In this section, Haley seems to jump from second grade to middle school, and "2002" means nothing without explaining what year of school he was in at the time.

Riordan has said that Percy Jackson's original character was "inspired by my son's own struggle" at school. Haley and Percy have been cited as the "same age" and share several character traits, though they are by no means the same person.<ref name="Dia" />{{rp|179–180}} Riordan has also stated that Percy has "[his] sense of humor" and is also "based on many of the students [he has] had in the past."<ref name="rrint" />

== Character ==
In the story, Percy Jackson is portrayed as a [[demigod]], the son of the mortal [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#The Jackson family|Sally Jackson]] and the Greek god [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Twelve Olympians|Poseidon]]. He has [[ADHD]] and dyslexia, allegedly because he is hardwired to read [[Ancient Greek]] and has inborn "battlefield reflexes".<ref name="PJO Bk1">{{cite book |author=Riordan, Rick |url=https://archive.org/details/lightningthiefpe00rick |title=The Lightning Thief |publisher=[[Scholastic Press]] |year=2005 |isbn=0-439-86130-6 |location=New York |author-link=Rick Riordan}}</ref> Percy's birthday is August 18.<ref>{{cite book |author=Knight, Mary-Jane |url=https://archive.org/details/percyjacksonoly00rick |title=Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Ultimate Guide |publisher=Disney-Hyperion Books |year=2009 |isbn=978-1-4231-2171-8 |location=London, England}}</ref> In the first novel of the series, ''[[The Lightning Thief]]'', he is twelve years old.

His personality is described as "changeable like the sea" and hard to predict — with the important exception that he is dangerously loyal to his friends and family. The goddess [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Athena|Athena]] describes this as his [[Hamartia|fatal flaw]].<ref name="PJO Bk5">{{cite book |author=Riordan, Rick |url=https://archive.org/details/lastolympian00rior |title=The Last Olympian |publisher=[[Disney Publishing Worldwide|Disney]]-[[Hachette Books#Hyperion Books|Hyperion]] |year=2009 |isbn=978-1-4231-0147-5 |location=New York |author-link=Rick Riordan}}</ref> Percy's "powers", which start small and develop as the books proceed, include controlling water, making hurricanes, breathing underwater, and talking to horse-like animals and fish. He also becomes an accomplished sword-fighter and leader. Throughout ''[[Percy Jackson & the Olympians]]'', Percy grows more confident and brave.<ref>Shrijith, A. "The World Of Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief." ''Language In India'' 12.3 (2012): 518-523. ''Communication & Mass Media Complete''.</ref> He serves as the first head counselor of the Poseidon cabin at his demigod summer camp – Camp Half-Blood.

After ''[[The Last Olympian]]'', the next time Percy is seen is in ''[[The Son of Neptune]]'', the second book in the sequel series ''[[The Heroes of Olympus]]''. He has [[amnesia]] and slowly struggles to regain his memory over the course of the novel. For a while in the book he cannot remember anything other than Annabeth Chase, his long-time friend. He arrives at a Roman establishment called Camp Jupiter, and is elected [[praetor]] as a result of the help he offers them on a quest. During the remaining three books in the [[Narration#Third-person|third person]] his character develops significantly. He develops an irrational fear of drowning; is humbled by weakening sword-fighting skills; and expresses a new tendency to make ambiguous moral choices in defense of his friends and family. One of the character's darkest moments comes in ''[[The House of Hades]]'', when Percy discovers that he can control the water in a person's body, and uses it to torture the goddess [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Minor Greco-Roman gods|Akhlys]].<ref name="HoO bk4">{{cite book |author=Riordan, Rick |url=https://archive.org/details/houseofhades00rick |title=The House of Hades |publisher=Disney-Hyperion |year=2013 |isbn=978-1-4231-4672-8 |location=New York |author-link=Rick Riordan}}</ref> Percy's girlfriend [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Annabeth Chase|Annabeth Chase]] is present and brings him to his senses, but remains haunted by his readiness to use that new power.<ref name="HoO Bk5">{{cite book |author=Riordan, Rick |url=https://archive.org/details/bloodofolympus00rick |title=The Blood of Olympus |publisher=[[Disney Publishing Worldwide|Disney]]-[[Hachette Books#Hyperion Books|Hyperion]] |year=2014 |isbn=978-1-4231-4673-5 |location=Los Angeles |author-link=Rick Riordan}}</ref>

At the end of ''[[The Blood of Olympus]]'', Percy and Annabeth reveal plans to finish their senior year of high school together in New York, and then attend college in New Rome (a demigod-only city located in California, guarded by Camp Jupiter).<ref name="HoO Bk5" /> In ''[[The Hidden Oracle]]'', Percy has been accepted to the college with a full scholarship, provided he can pass his [[National Curriculum assessment|SATs]] and graduate on time despite the semester he spent away (while missing during ''The Lost Hero''). Percy's concern for his future and family leads him to uncharacteristically turn down [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Apollo / Lester Papadopoulos|Lester Papadopoulous]]'s request for help on a quest to regain his godhood (Papadopoulous being the mortal form of the god [[Apollo]]).<ref name="ToA Bk1">{{cite book |author=Riordan, Rick |title=The Hidden Oracle |publisher=[[Disney Publishing Worldwide|Disney]]-[[Hachette Books#Hyperion Books|Hyperion]] |year=2016 |isbn=9781484732748 |location=Los Angeles |author-link=Rick Riordan}}</ref>

== Friends and family ==
{{See also|List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan}}

=== Family ===
Percy is the son of Poseidon; his mother, Sally Jackson, married a man named [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#The Jackson family|Gabe Ugliano]] when Percy was young. Ugliano was abusive towards Percy and Sally, the latter of whom leaves him in ''The Lightning Thief''.<ref name="PJO Bk1" /> It is later known that Sally married Ugliano as the latter was so mortal and human and gave off such a stench that no monster would roam anywhere near his surroundings. As Percy was a strong demigod (a son of Poseidon, one of the "[[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Twelve Olympians|Big Three]]") and such demigods attract monsters more than usual, she had to marry him to protect Percy from danger.

Between the time of ''[[The Battle of the Labyrinth]]'' and ''The Last Olympian'', Sally marries [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#The Jackson family|Paul Blofis]], a man she met in a writing seminar.<ref name="PJO Bk5" /> Percy likes and respects his new step-father and eventually reveals to him that he is a demigod. Though understandably shocked, Blofis still stays with the Jackson family and accepts Percy's complicated life. In ''The Hidden Oracle'', Sally is seven months pregnant with Paul's child, and later gives birth to Estelle in ''The Tower of Nero'', making her Percy's half-sister.<ref name="ToA Bk1" />

Percy has a half-brother named [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Tyson|Tyson]], who is a [[cyclops]]. Though Percy is related to virtually every character and creature in Greek mythology through his father Poseidon, Tyson is one of the only beings whom he acknowledges as family. Percy first met Tyson at a school called Meriwether Prep, and did not learn of their relationship until much later. Percy is also distantly related to horses, [[Pegasus|pegasi]], some other monsters, and numerous gods and demigods through his father. Significant examples of this would be that he is technically a grandson of [[Cronus|Kronos]], nephew to [[Hades]], [[Zeus]], and numerous other Olympians, as well as the half-nephew of [[Chiron]].<ref name="PJO Bk2">{{cite book |author=Riordan, Rick |url=https://archive.org/details/seaofmonstersper00rick |title=The Sea of Monsters |publisher=[[Scholastic Press|Scholastic]] |year=2006 |isbn=978-0-439-02702-1 |location=New York |author-link=Rick Riordan |url-access=registration}}</ref>

=== Friends ===
Percy's oldest friend is [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Grover Underwood|Grover Underwood]], a [[satyr]] originally tasked with protecting him and bringing him safely to Camp Half-Blood. His next-oldest friend is [[Annabeth Chase]], whom he meets when she helps nurse him back to health after his first fight with the [[Minotaur]]. The two accompany him on his first, and most of his subsequent, quests.<ref name="PJO Bk1" />

Percy is also close to many other characters in the book series. His closest friends include [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Thalia Grace|Thalia Grace]], daughter of Zeus and leader of the [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Greco-Roman humanoids|Hunters of Artemis]]; [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Luke Castellan|Luke Castellan]], son of [[Hermes]] (at first Percy's friend, then his enemy, and finally Percy's friend at the [[The Last Olympian#Plot|time of his death]]); [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Nico di Angelo|Nico di Angelo]], son of Hades; [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Rachel Elizabeth Dare|Rachel Elizabeth Dare]], a mortal [[Pythia]], or host of a prophetic spirit; [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Hazel Levesque|Hazel Levesque]], daughter of [[Pluto (mythology)|Pluto]]; [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Leo Valdez|Leo Valdez]], son of Hephaestus; [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Jason Grace|Jason Grace]], son of [[Jupiter (mythology)|Jupiter]]; [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Piper McLean|Piper McLean]], daughter of [[Aphrodite (mythology)|Aphrodite]]; and [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Frank Zhang|Frank Zhang]], son of [[Mars (mythology)|Mars]]. Frank Zhang is also a descendant of [[Periclymenus]], descendant of Poseidon, and so distantly related to Percy. Percy also has a unique relationship with [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Clarisse La Rue|Clarisse La Rue]], daughter of [[Ares]] and Camp Half-Blood's resident [[bully]], whom he allegedly dislikes but often helps.

==== Romantic relationships ====
Percy's oldest romantic relationship is with Annabeth Chase. Their relationship gradually changes throughout the first series, with the goddess [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Twelve Olympians|Aphrodite]] first insinuating that it was romantic in ''[[The Titan's Curse]]'', when Percy undertakes a quest to free Annabeth from the Titan [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Titans|Atlas]]. However, Percy's first move towards a serious relationship does not occur until the final pages of ''The Last Olympian''.<ref name="PJO Bk5" />

Other romantic relationships are shown to have been possibilities before this however. As the final battle with the Titans approaches after ''The Battle of the Labyrinth'', Percy spends time with his mortal friend Rachel Dare. Their relationship causes Chase to become jealous and helps enact the events of ''The Last Olympian''. Towards the end of the book, Rachel realizes that her attraction is not to Percy, but to the mythological world he is in, because of her destiny as the next Oracle of Delphi.<ref name="PJO Bk5" />

Three other characters in the novels are romantically interested in Percy, though he remains mostly oblivious. Nico di Angelo's hero worship of Percy turns into an ever-worsening crush on him; at the same time, Nico resents Percy because he believes that Percy had allowed his sister [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Demigods|Bianca]] to die in battle.<ref name="HoO bk4" /> The second is [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#mytholgical figures|Calypso]], who was banished to the island of [[Ogygia]]. The third is [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano|Reyna Ramírez-Arellano]], who, while is silently attracted to her comrade Jason Grace, finds herself attracted to many of Percy's similar traits.<ref name="HoO bk2">{{cite book |author=Riordan, Rick |url=https://archive.org/details/isbn_9781423141990 |title=The Son of Neptune |publisher=Disney-Hyperion |year=2011 |isbn=978-1-4231-4059-7 |location=New York |author-link=Rick Riordan |url-access=registration}}</ref>

=== Magical animal companions ===
Percy has several animal companions. The first is [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Greco-Roman creatures|Blackjack]], a black pegasus that Percy liberates from the ''Princess Andromeda'' in ''[[The Sea of Monsters]]''. Blackjack is referred to as a "[[mare]]" in ''The Sea of Monsters'', but is called a stallion in all later books. Blackjack becomes Percy's personal steed and companion. Blackjack is unfailingly loyal to Percy, and on several occasions manages to save Percy's life. Blackjack always calls Percy "boss" and is quite fond of sugar cubes and doughnuts.<ref name="HoO Bk5" />

Percy's second magical companion is [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Greco-Roman creatures|Mrs. O'Leary]], who is introduced in the fourth novel, ''Battle of the Labyrinth''. She is a [[hellhound]] whom he receives from [[Daedalus]] before the inventor dies. Though Mrs. O'Leary is described as "the size of a tank", the magical veil known as the Mist causes her to appear as a poodle to mortals. Percy often refers to her as "his dog". Percy sometimes uses Mrs. O'Leary's ability to "shadow travel" to cross large distances almost instantaneously. His brother Tyson and friend [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Demigods|Charles Beckendorf]] are Mrs. O'Leary's other caretakers, though she is also fond of Nico di Angelo.

Percy also knows a [[Hippocampus (mythology)|hippocampus]] named [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Greco-Roman creatures|Rainbow]], who likes Tyson. It first appears in ''The Sea of Monsters'', where it helps Percy and his friends enter Luke Castellan's boat ''Princess Andromeda''. It later saves Tyson's life and returns to help the two brothers on several occasions.

Percy has also traveled with a small calico kitten called [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Greco-Roman creatures|Small Bob]] by [[List of Camp Half-Blood characters#Titans|Bob the Titan]]. Small Bob was accidentally created by one of Atlas's servants who was attempting to summon a group of [[spartoi]]. When Percy is trapped in [[Tartarus]] during ''The House of Hades'', Annabeth, Bob, and he find and travel with the kitten. He is fond of Bob and protective of the traveling group, leading Bob to call him "a good monster". Small Bob can transform into a full sized saber-toothed tiger at will and occasionally appears as a skeleton for a few seconds at a time. His purr is disproportionately loud for an animal of his size. Small Bob remains in Tartarus with [[Iapetus (mythology)|Iapetus]] to help hold open the Doors of Death. It is unclear if he lives or dies, but he is not mentioned again.<ref name="HoO bk4" />

Percy is described as handsome, with messy jet black hair, a Mediterranean{{page needed|date=April 2022}} complexion, and sea-green eyes like his father Poseidon. His mother notes that Percy looked just like his father, and his friend Hazel says that he has the looks of a Roman god.<ref name="HoO bk2" /> In the 2010 and 2013 films, this description is retained. However, in the Disney+ series, he has blonde curly hair and blue eyes.<ref>{{cite web |last=O'Donnell |first=E. |date=April 17, 2022 |title=Percy Jackson May Be Blonde In Lightning Thief Disney+ Show |url=https://screenrant.com/percy-jackson-show-walker-scobell-hair-not-black/ |access-date=September 29, 2023 |work=Screenrant}}</ref>

=== Abilities ===
Like most demigods, Percy has ADHD and dyslexia, the former because of his godly battle instincts, and the latter because his brain takes more naturally to Ancient Greek than to English. After being trained at Camp Half-Blood, he has developed a Greek fighting style (described as unpredictable by New Romans) and is an expert [[Swordsmanship|swordsman]]. After bathing in the [[Styx|River Styx]], Percy was given the curse of [[Achilles]], making him invulnerable except for the small of his back. He loses this power when it is washed away in the Little Tiber surrounding New Rome, as part of his acceptance there.<ref name="HoO bk2" /> In addition, he has an "empathy link" with his first friend from Camp Half-Blood, Grover.<ref name="PJO Bk2" />

As a son of Poseidon, one of the "Big Three" (the others being Zeus and Hades), Percy is more powerful than most of the gods' other children. He also has a degree of authority over his father's subjects. Percy is gifted with several semi-divine abilities: the ability to manipulate water and currents; enhanced strength/energy and senses while near the water; the ability to breathe underwater; the ability to operate old sailing ships with his mind; mental communication with marine animals, equine animals, water nymphs, and some of his relatives; and the creation of small earthquakes and hurricanes. All of Percy's abilities correspond to the myths about and abilities of his father.

=== Weapons ===
Percy's main weapon is ''Anaklusmos'' ("Riptide"), a sword made of celestial bronze given to him by Chiron the [[centaur]], on the instructions of Poseidon; the sword's history goes back to [[Heracles]],<ref name="PJO Bk3">{{Cite book |last=Rick |first=Riordan |url=https://archive.org/details/percyjacksontita0000rior |title=Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse |publisher=[[Puffin Books|Puffin]] |year=2007 |isbn=978-0-141-32126-4 |location=[[Great Britain]] |url-access=registration}}</ref> who was gifted that sword by the nymph [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Zoë Nightshade|Zoë Nightshade]], a daughter of Atlas. Riptide can change shape; when it is not a sword, it appears as a ballpoint pen engraved with its name. It reappears in the character's pocket when lost. Since it is made of celestial bronze it will harm gods, demigods, and monsters, but simply passes through mortals. Percy has also used magic javelins made by his brother Tyson, magically camouflaging armor made by Beckendorf, and the wand of [[Carter Kane]].<ref name="PJO Bk2" /><ref name="Dia" /><ref name="D&M">{{cite book |author=Riordan, Rick |title=Demigods & Magicians: Percy and Annabeth Meet the Kanes |publisher=[[Disney Publishing Worldwide|Disney]]-[[Hachette Books#Hyperion Books|Hyperion]] |year=2016 |isbn=978-1-4847-3278-6 |location=[[Los Angeles]] |author-link=Rick Riordan}}</ref> In ''The Sea of Monsters'', his half-brother Tyson gives him a wristwatch that changes into a shield covered with designs, but the watch is damaged in ''The Titan's Curse'' and lost in ''The Battle of the Labyrinth''.

Percy has several magical items obtained from battles against monsters. The first of these is the horn of the Minotaur, which he obtains after killing the beast on Half-Blood Hill. Another is the head of [[Medusa]], which he cuts off after killing the [[Gorgons|gorgon]]. He gives the head away several times, finally leaving it with his mother, who "disposes of it".<ref name="PJO Bk1" /> He also obtains a bullet- and sword-proof lion skin coat when he killed the [[Nemean lion]], which he later sacrifices as an offering to Poseidon in order to save Annabeth.<ref name="PJO Bk3" />
