Nemean Lion's Pelt: Percy it obtained after he planned the Nemean Lion's death. He sacrificed the pelt to Poseidon in The Titan's Curse. After finishing his narration of the book, Percy mentions being late to a meeting with Annabeth, which worries him. Clarisse La Rue and Percy have a rough relationship. Clarisse dislikes Percy at first for dousing her in toilet water when he first arrives at camp (even though she was trying to dunk his head in the toilet). She later learns that Percy beat her father, causing her and her cabin to dislike Percy even more. They manage to grow a bit closer in The Sea of Monsters when Percy manages to free her from Polyphemus (the two were even able to work well together) and sends her ahead with the Golden Fleece, a gesture she greatly appreciates. Hades later reveals to Nico that Percy had changed a lot of things for the gods, making them rethink their priorities, behaviors and standards. Hades in particular was affected by Percy's actions, causing Hades to rethink sending Nico after Bob when he realized that it put Will in danger too. Thermos of Winds: It was given to Percy by Hermes. It was used by Percy and Annabeth in The Sea of Monsters to escape the Princess Andromeda and Charybdis.

Moonlace: A flower that grows in the moonlight. It was given to Percy by Calypso. He planted it in a trough at his apartment to remember her. Hazel even stated that "[Percy] had the good looks of a Roman god." According to Piper in The Mark of Athena, Percy smells like the sea, looks like a skater and a troublemaker, but she can still see what women would like about him, even if he isn't her type. Piper later states that when Percy pleads, his sea-green eyes seemed to be "like a cute baby seal that needed help" and marvels at how Annabeth had ever won an argument with him. The next morning, Piper, Annabeth, and Percy saw snake people who he suspected to be dracanae. But he realized they were different since they looked more human. He welcomed them aboard the ship, and one snake man introduced himself as Kekrops, the first king of Athens. When he explained he was a Geminus, Percy thought it was like a zodiac sign and said he was a Leo, but Leo corrected him: He was a Leo, Percy was a Percy. Hazel chided them and called them idiots. The group discussed Octavian and the giants, and as Kekrops said he was their best bet to make it to the Acropolis, Percy pointed out it might be a trap. After Piper charmspoke the king, he revealed his plans and Percy decided to go with Annabeth underground with Piper, since his scent would be difficult to discern. Percy shook Jason's hand and bid him goodbye until they meet again at the Acropolis. Cryokinesis (limited): Percy can use cryokinesis to a small degree. He can manipulate frozen or icy water around him, as shown during his interrupted fight with Thalia in The Titan's Curse. During The Mark of Athena, Percy starts remembering how angry Luke was with the Olympian gods and how himself felt like that before. Then after seeing Bacchus just watch himself and Jason fighting for their lives against Otis and Ephialtes, he understood why. Because of this, he could understand Luke better.Percy accidentally summoned a water hand to pull the school bully into a fountain, and then killed his teacher, who turned out to be a Fury. History [ ] Early life [ ] Percy’s Oracle reveals that Zeus has accused Poseidon of stealing his lightning bolt and requires Poseidon’s son to return it before the summer solstice. Chiron believes Hades actually stole the bolt to start a war between the gods. Percy chooses Grover and Annabeth to accompany him on his quest and together they head west to the entrance of the Underworld to confront Hades on the missing bolt. Along the way, the three will face several monsters before making it to Hades’ house. He has assured fans that a repeat of the 2010 and 2013 movies will not be the case for the new Disney+ show which will premiere in December 2023. Riordan says that the show will finally deliver a faithful adaptation and that it is the depiction of Percy on screen that everyone has been waiting for. When preparing Annabeth's cousin for a quest in The Ship of the Dead, the two are looking forward to spending time together in college.

At the beginning of The Mark of Athena, Annabeth and Percy kiss after so long apart but then Annabeth judo-flips Percy for being gone for so long, the end of the book, they fall into Tartarus holding hands when Percy swears that he will never let her go again. At the beginning of the series in The Lightning Thief, Percy thought that Luke was a cool guy and thought that they would become close friends when he came to Camp Half-Blood. Luke helped train Percy in sword fighting and gave him moral support as a new comer, but at the end of the book it is shown to him that Luke was the real Lightning Thief and summons a pit scorpion to kill him and before he leaves, he tells of his bitterness and revenge against the Olympian gods. Golden Fleece: Percy obtained it from his fight with Polyphemus. He first used the Fleece to heal a wounded Annabeth and then to save Thalia's tree at Camp Half-Blood. After that, Percy and Leo were friends with no problems and they defeated Nike with the help of Frank and Hazel. Leo became sarcastic and joking with Percy, calling him "Water Boy", which he told him not to call him, then calling him "Aquaman", which he hated more. Leo was also miffed and asked him why he had to destroy the plumbing when he did. Percy also joked that if a statue engulfed people in fire, he should send Leo, and Leo jokingly said he loved him too. Leo was also grateful when Percy got everyone in the crew, including him, gelato, and said that it made his whole day better. Leo also joked about how Percy's zodiac sign was Leo's name. However, Leo kept his suicidal plan to sacrifice himself from Percy. Percy was devastated when Leo died, and was initially angry at Hazel and Frank, but his anger subsided when they cried and agreed that it was a plan Leo would've done. Percy was hopeful that Leo was alive and said that if he lives, they can take turns strangling him. Bennett, Steve. "Monster Mania". San Antonio Express News, February 12, 2010. Retrieved July 28, 2010.Thalia Grace, Percy, and Annabeth heard from Grover that two half-blood siblings, Bianca and Nico di Angelo, had been found in a middle school. The three immediately set out to find him. Grover had been waiting for their appearance. He explained that he found the two half-bloods and that they were enjoying a function in the gym. He was very nervous and embarrassed as the only person he could dance with was Annabeth, who had recently grown taller than him so he looked quite stupid "dancing" with her. Percy, having been forced to dance to blend in with the crowd sees the two half-bloods following Dr. Thorn, a manticore which was not a very good sign. Percy felt disgusted by the fact that Thalia was always powerful and a hero at everything she'd done and so thought it was now his time to shine and ran to save the di Angelos from danger alone, though his plan did not work out as planned and he, Grover and Annabeth were nearly killed by Dr. Thorn. Dreams: Like most demigods, Percy had dreams that showed him events occurring in the past, present, and future. However, due to his father's unpredictable nature and raw power, Percy's dreams are a lot more potent than those of other demigods. He has managed to view the dealings of fellow demigods like Luke and Hercules; gods such as Hades; and ancient beings like Kronos himself, something Luke proclaimed was impossible. The Celedon, however, attempts to throw Percy off the roof of Times Tower while Grover nervously tries to think of lyrics. A birdcage of Celestial Bronze begins to form, but the Celedon spins Percy off her and pushes him off the tower. A metal rung catches his pants belt, but the momentum causes Percy to slip out of his pants and continue falling. The demigod snares onto a billboard to prevent himself from falling and reveals that he wears plain blue boxers claiming they're more comfortable than briefs. The Celedon smiles down at Percy and begins singing about Percy letting go of the billboard and falling. According to Annabeth, Percy is obtuse, meaning he doesn't always see the obvious even when it is right in front of him, such as people's feelings and what they are trying to say indirectly. He has romantic feelings for Annabeth over the course of the series, but he finally confirms them in The Last Olympian. Despite this he is perceptive when he needs to be, Percy could tell that Gaea wanted to keep him alive and gambled his life knowing that he was too valuable to Gaea for him to die at that time.

Rich, Motoko (September 1, 2008). "Author of Book Series Sends Kids on a Web Treasure Hunt". The New York Times. New York, NY . Retrieved July 25, 2015. As a son of Poseidon, Percy is claustrophobic. This is because in the Son of Neptune, he drowned in a muskeg of an Alaskan bog. and another reason is that he is used to open, free and wild places like the sea. However, his claustrophobia doesn't seem to bother him in The Battle of the Labyrinth, so it could simply be that he simply becomes restless when confined, but is still functional and his previous phobia now only acts as a mild annoyance.Hades was later convinced by his son to aid Percy in the war and played an indirect role in his wish for general acceptance through earlier advice to Nico about getting a "solemn oath." Given that Percy is directly responsible for his position on the council with full privileges and rights, it would be fair to say that Hades has an improved opinion about him. At first, Thalia refuses to help because the forging of the weapon is illegal. All the other gods (especially Zeus) must know it first and agree in its creation. The creation of a new weapon (or a symbol) destroys the balance between the gods' powers. But the danger that the weapon implies can free the souls from the Underworld, so she figured she must help catch the thief. They catch the thief after interrogating Sisyphus, fighting and killing a group of violent Keres, and crossing Lethe, the River of Forgetfulness, after which they have a run-in with Melinoe the goddess of ghosts, who takes the forms of Maria di Angelo and Beryl Grace. The demigod thief is, as they suspected, Ethan Nakamura, but all the petals fall off the carnation because Ethan has raised the Titan Iapetus from Tartarus. They arrived at the Acropolis, and Percy scouted the middle, but he was captured by Enceladus. He and Annabeth struggled as they were brought to Porphyrion, who proclaimed them as the blood of olympus. Percy tried to defend himself by using a geyser of water, but to no avail. Piper saved him from Enceladus when she stabbed him in the forehead, distracting him enough to drop him. Though his sword was lost, Percy was able to grab Porphyrion's spear and stab it into the ground, making him fall over. He then tried to get a sword out of his hair, but he swatted Percy into a column like a pesky fly. He managed to get up, but he was dazed and couldn't defend himself. Eventually, after the others arrived, he faced Thoon but couldn't realize that his nose was bleeding. Piper tried to warn him, but his blood spilled and Gaea woke. But suddenly, all of the Olympians and some other gods arrived due to the Athena Parthenos being returned, so Percy fought alongside Poseidon to defeat Otis and Ephialtes. After the victory, Percy gathered to discuss Gaea with the seven and the gods. He complained about his nosebleed that woke Gaea, but Athena told him to not blame himself. He also explained to Leo that Gaea can pop up wherever she wants. Right after finishing his narration of this book, Percy reveals that after the events of The Blood of Olympus, he and the rest of the Seven started the tradition of monthly Argo II reunion parties, and he is quite worried about being late to the current one. It is eventually revealed that Jason and Percy were exchanged by Hera/ Juno to unite the demigods of Greece and Rome against Gaea and the Gigantes as well as other creatures.
