Riordan Wiki:Featured Articles/Grover



Grover Underwood is a satyr and a friend of Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. He's the satyr who found Thalia Grace, Nico and Bianca di Angelo, and Percy. He is currently the Lord of the Wild. Grover is portrayed by Brandon T. Jackson in The Lightning Thief.

Not much is known about Grover's past before he met Percy, but Grover is a young satyr and spent his time as a protector (like most satyrs). However, because he was not granted a Searcher's License before bringing Percy back to camp, he may not have had a completely successful quest to bring back demigods. At one point, he ran across Thalia, Luke, and Annabeth traveling together and tried to get him back to camp while at the same time avoiding the forces of the Underworld. Hades, after learning that a child of Zeus had been born sent hellhounds after her. Along the way, Grover made a few wrong turns which led them into danger with other monsters, including a cyclops that gave Annabeth a fear of the species for a long time. While Grover claims it is his fault that they kept making wrong turns, Thalia later tells Percy Luke was the reason as he kept looking for fights with monsters as he was angry with his father, who he had met at his mother's home. As they came close to the edge of Camp Half-Blood, Thalia held back and told Grover to take Luke and Annabeth back to camp. He did as he was told and got the two back to camp, but at the cost of Thalia's safety. Grover was later assigned to Percy's school and spent enough time with him to know he was a demigod. He eventually called in Chiron who took the form of Percy's Latin teacher.
