Jake Mason

"I hope you like it here, Leo. It used to be...really nice."

- Jake talking to Leo Valdez in The Lost Hero

Jake Mason is a Demigod son of Hephaestus and was the counselor for Hephaestus' cabin after Beckendorf's death (until he gave the position to Leo).

The Last Olympian
Jake first appears in The Last Olympian and helps brainstorm with Percy, Annabeth, Chiron, and the other campers in order of how to defend Manhattan in the Battle of Manhattan and the Empire State Building which was the entrance to Mount Olympus over America. He fights with his cabin and when the Second Titan War is won, he is among the campers that goes up to Mount Olympus and was thanked by the gods. He becomes the lead counselor for his cabin after Beckendorf dies of an explosion on Luke's "cruise" ship, Princess Andromeda.

The Lost Hero
Jake is in a full body cast after going after Festus, the bronze automaton dragon, and unsuccessfully trying to fix or capture it. He believes that there is a curse on Hephaestus's children after Beckendorf died. He resigned after Leo revealed Bunker 9 and his unusual heritage (he had the ability to manipulate fire, pyrokinesis), and the Cabin began construction on the Argo 2.

Trivia
