Riordan Wiki:Featured Articles/Jason Grace



Jason Grace is one of the main protagonists of the second Camp Half-Blood series, The Heroes of Olympus. He is the son of the god Jupiter and the mortal Ms. Grace and is the younger brother of Thalia Grace. He is also a praetor of Camp Jupiter and is the current counselor of Cabin One at Camp Half-Blood.

Jason was born on July 1st. He is the son of Jupiter, the Roman aspect of Zeus, and a mortal actress with the last name of Grace. He was born seven years after Zeus fathered Thalia in his Greek aspect. Because his father had consecutively sired two children with his mother, Juno, the Roman form of Hera, was made Jason's guardian to placate the indignant goddess and Jupiter went even as far as to name his newborn son after his wife's favorite hero.

When Jason was two years old, Juno commanded his mother to bring him to the Wolf House. It was there that he was separated from his mother and sister to be initiated by Lupa in the ways of Rome. After training for some time under the wolf goddess, he journeyed to Camp Jupiter where he was raised in the lifestyle of the Roman Legion. Eventually, Jason was inducted into the Fifth Cohort and would bring a restored sense of honor to the disgraced contingent. This would culminate when he was made praetor, the co-commander of the entire legion.
