Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters Character Guide

The new Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters sequel picks up with Percy and his friends chasing the legendary Golden Fleece to save their beloved magic training school, Camp Half-Blood.

Since it’s been awhile, we figured a refresher course might be needed so you can keep your mortals and gods straight. Here’s some Percy Jackson 101…

The titular hero of the books and the films, Percy Jackson is the teenaged son of Poseidon, which makes him a demigod. He trains to grow into his powers and godliness at Camp Half-Blood with his friends (and relatives). In this film, he’s tasked with saving their Camp via the Golden Fleece which must be retrieved from a remote island away from the Sea of Monsters. Yeah, that doesn’t sound too easy….

Percy’s BFF, and fellow child of a god (Athena), Annabeth is beautiful, brave and a bit of a rebel. She’s pining for a big adventure which she gets in the first film as part of Percy’s inner circle. In the film’s, she’s also the love interest of Percy.

A satyr, Grover’s kind are tasked with identifying demigods living amongst mortals. He helps Percy discover his true lineage in the first film, and in the second film, is his loyal side kick. In the films, Grover also provides the comic relief along with his questing duties.

A head counselor at Camp Half-Blood, Clarisse is also a demigod (and daughter of Ares). A former bully (her dad is the god of war), she becomes part of Percy’s team to retrieve the Golden Fleece.

The half-brother of Percy, Tyson is a Cyclops that resides at Camp Half-Blood. He’s got a good relationship with Percy and they embark on the quest for the Golden Fleece together.

Another teen demigod, Thalia is the daughter of the Alpha god, Zeus. She was a huge part of Percy’s inaugural adventure in the first film but she was turned into a tree in order to save her from permanent death. In the second film, Percy and company search for the Golden Fleece in part to help restore Thalia to her human form.

The god known as the lord of the sky and the god of lightning, Zeus was a big player and motivator in the first Percy Jackson film. In the second movie, he defers to the leadership at Camp Half-Blood and is involved with the human restoration of his daughter, Thalia.

Known as Mr. D, Dionysus is the director of Camp Half-Blood and has a love/hate relationship with Percy. He’s none too fond of demigods in general but he sees the bravery and valor of the young man. In the first film, the character was played by Luke Camilleri.

The god of communication, Hermes is another of Camp Half-Blood’s instructors. In the first film, the character was played by Dylan Neal.

The activities director at Camp Half-Blood, Chiron is an immortal centaur (half human/half horse) who mentors young Percy as he grows into his destiny. In the first film, the character was played by Pierce Brosnan.

In Greek mythology, the Graeae are often referred to as three sister hags or witches, who share one eye and one tooth among them. They are providers of information and in the film, they are called the Grey Sisters who drive a taxi in New York.
