Nico I believe has had the most character development in the series. I mean he starts out as an annoying kid that is obsessed with some game, but by The Son of Neptune, he is one of the most intelligent characters in the series, possibly even more so than Annabeth. However, while Annabeth has books smarts, Nico is much better I think at reading situations and finding out things on his own, or reading people. I mean in reality, he is only like 14-15 in the SoN, which is younger than Annabeth and Percy who are almost 17.
