Chris Rodriguez

"I said there's no point in defending a camp if you guys die. All our friends are here."

- Chris to Percy Jackson, The Last Olympian.

Chris Rodriguez is a demigod from the Hermes' cabin, as he was later revealed in Percy Jackson: The Ultimate Guide as a son of Hermes, and boyfriend of Clarisse.

It is unknown why Hermes never claimed him prior to The Last Olympian, even though Hermes claims to love all of his children, most likely he was simply forgotten, or it was unnecessary, as he was in the cabin anyway.

The Sea of Monsters
Chris joined Luke's side, possibly because he was angry at his Olympian parent, as he was still undetermined. He is seen talking with another half-blood about strategies on the Princess Andromeda. He is later sent on a mission into the Labyrinth.

The Titan's Curse
After Clarisse went on her quest in the Labyrinth, she stumbled upon him and saw him in a horrible state of madness so she brought him back to camp.

The Battle of the Labyrinth
Chris went insane after he was stuck in the Labyrinth, by the hand of King Minos's ghost. Clarisse brought him to camp and tried to nurse him back to health, but nothing did any good and he steadily got worse. While Clarisse tried to comfort him, he cried about someone named 'Mary', which is never explained in the series. Chris also mentions 'a thousand skulls. The earth keeps healing him.' This refers to Antaeus, a son of Poseidon and Gaea, that Percy fights later on, who can be healed by the earth.

Mr. D later cures him (he is the god of madness). Chris Rodriguez then began dating Clarisse, after showing interest in her.

At the end of the book, while Percy is walkink back with Mr. D, he sees Chris and Clarisee holding hands sitting together in front of the campfire.

The Last Olympian
Chris fought at the Battle of Manhattan, even though Clarisse refused to go at first. He tried to convince her to join the other campers but she ignored him, until the Ares cabin left the duo while the two were on patrol because they thought Clarisse was leading them, not knowing it was Silena Beauregard. Chris and Clarisse followed, and he saw Clarisse finish off the drakon. He decided to keep an eye on Clarisse as she called threats to the enemy because she was angered and saddened by Silena's death.

Personality
He's very calm and patient. Chris has a minor role so his personality remains greatly unknown. He really cares a lot about his girlfriend, Clarisse.

Appearance
Chris is described as a big Hispanic teenage boy with greasy black hair and brown eyes. It is also likely he shares the sharp facial features of Hermes' other children.
