Butch Walker

"Leo: Your mom is goddess of the rainbow? Butch: Got a problem with that?"

- Butch

Butch is a demigod son of Iris and the head counselor of her cabin.

History
Butch is a camper at Camp Half-Blood. It is possible that Butch didn't fight in Second Olympian War because he is a son of Iris and there wasn't a cabin for Iris at Camp Half-Blood until the end of The Last Olympian. However, he may of fought with the Hermes' cabin as that would of been the cabin he was assigned to. At one point, Leo makes a comment that he is the son of the rainbow goddess, Iris and he is good with pegasi resulting in Butch threatening to toss him out of the flying chariot. It is quoted below:

''Leo choked. "Your mom is a rainbow goddess?" "Got a problem with that?" Butch said. "No, no," Leo said. "Rainbows. Very macho." "Butch is our best equestrian," Annabeth said. "He gets along great with the pegasi." "Rainbows, ponies," Leo muttered. "I'm gonna toss you off this chariot," Butch warned.''

The Lost Hero
Butch is seen with Annabeth when they arrive at the Grand Canyon on a chariot looking for Percy Jackson. Once they learn Percy is not there, Butch points out that Jason only has one shoe and Annabeth realizes that Jason was the clue Hera told her about. Butch then flies Jason, Leo, and Piper to Camp Half-Blood using the chariot he borrowed from the Apollo cabin. While on the ride Leo makes a sarcastic side comment that Butch's mother is the goddess of rainbows and how manly he is. Butch then threatens to push him off of the chariot. As they arrive back to camp, the chariot had been damaged and Butch manages to land it in the lake (much to the irritation of the Apollo campers). He later appears at the head counselor meeting, and is seen sticking colored pencils up the nose of Clovis, who is sleeping.

Personality
Though little is known about him, Butch seems to be very violent towards people (Leo, while heading towards camp, and Clovis at the counselor meeting). He also seems to be less than tolerant about Leo after he insulted him about being the son of Iris and his skill as a equestrian, implying he could be emotionally sensitive. Ironically Iris is now all about peace and tolerance.

Appearance
Butch is a bulky male with a shaved head, has a face like a pile of bricks, and a colorful rainbow tattoo on his biceps and is seen wearing a Camp Half-Blood shirt.

Abilities
Since Butch doesn't have many appearances in The Lost Hero, his true powers are unknown although he presumably has the ability to travel at very high speeds. He displays this power when the chariot wheel catches fire at the beginning of the book.

Trivia

 * It shows at the beginning of The Lost Hero he is good friends with Annabeth.
 * Leo calls him the 'rainbow pony dude'.
