User blog comment:SonOfZeus1200/Drew and Octavian, Tratiors or Not?/@comment-4485028-20111025010526

I well and truly believe that Octavian is a traitor. I also belief that he's supposed to be a replacement for Luke or something, because apparently Rick always needs to add traitors to the series he makes. Percy also mentions that Octavian somewhat resembles someone he knows, and I belief that is supposed to be Luke.

I also considered that Octavian resembles Apollo, as he is a legacy of Apollo. But if you think about it, Apollo and Luke have a kind of similar description in appearance.
