Paul Blofis

Paul Blofis is Percy's step dad, married to Sally Jackson Blofis.

History
Paul met Sally at college, as they were in the same writing seminar. They became friends, and started studying together.

Paul was first introduced on The Titan's Curse, when Percy sends his mother an Iris message and sees his mother sitting at a table with Paul, and them both laughing. He gets up to go to the bathroom, and she tells Percy about Paul, that they are in the writing seminar together at her college. Percy sees that his mother truly likes Paul, and remembers how miserable and unhappy she was with Gabe, and how he treated her horribly. Percy then gives his mother his blessing, as long as she is happy.

Paul meets Percy formerly, and the two become friends, and Paul tries to get him into his old school in The Battle of the Labyrinth, treating him as if he were his own son. Percy appreciates Paul's efforts, and managed to stay in the school for two years, and for the rest of Percy's high school years.

Paul meets Poseidon in The Battle of the Labyrinth, and is very formal, and very polite with him although he doesn't seemed pleased with his arrival. He was surprised when Tyson also called Poseidon 'Daddy', but Sally quickly assured him that Tyson was not her child.

When Paul finds out about Percy being a demigod, he is shocked and excited, but not scared or angry. He over time accepts it, and worries about Percy when he is not around.

Some time between The Battle of the Labyrinth and The Last Olympian, Paul and Sally get married.

Later, in The Last Olympian, Paul and Sally thinks something is wrong, and go looking for Percy. When the city awakes, Paul takes a sword and kills a monster, and Sally uses a shotgun against another monster. They hold their own, and they both survive the fight.

Percy later goes home with them, happy to have a family at last.

Personality
Paul is a very honest, just man who is very genuine and is polite to everybody. He loves Sally and believes Percy is special, but doesn't know how special. When Paul finds out Percy is a demigod he doesn't freak out like Percy expects, he's just shocked, though he eventually comes to think its very cool. He is a nice and supporting man, and Percy appreciated him being there for him - also, he's also on fairly good terms with Poseidon, despite having only met him once, and is polite to him because of Percy.

Despite their good relationship, sometimes Percy can't help but call him Mr. Blowfish.

Physical description
Paul is 'thirty-something', with longish salt-and-pepper hair, and wears a brown jacket over a black T-shirt. It is said he looks like an actor, and is very good-looking.

Trivia
Percy and his father Poseidon call him Blowfish, instead of Blofis.

Film
Paul has not yet been cast, and presumably will not be until the film version of The Titan's Curse begins production.
