Perseus "Percy" Jackson is a character in Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians stories. He serves as the main protagonist and hero, as well as the narrator.He acquired the name "Seaweed Brain" from Annabeth Chase.

Character History
Percy has been shown to be brave, often facing dangers and going into fights, to help prove himself. He often puts others before himself (such as Grover, his mom, Annabeth, and even people he doesn’t like). He has a strong sense of right and wrong, and will often oppose evil. Throughout the series Percy is also shown to have a sense of humor, making witty comments, in dialogue and in the narration.

His two best friends are Annabeth and Grover (especially Grover, with whom he has an Empathy Link). In The Titan's Curse, Percy's newest friend is Thalia, whom he has also become close with. Ironically to their friendship, they're personalities are so similar they tend to argue and fight a lot, but they still manage to stay best friends.

His birthday is in August.

He first meets his friend Grover through the school he attended at 6th grade, Yancy Academy in New York. Grover is the first satyr to realize that Percy is a half-blood, therefore, he must bring him back to Camp Half-Blood. However, before he gets to Camp Half-Blood, there are many obstacles in their way.

Aphrodite says that there will be a tragic love relationship between Annabeth and Percy. Athena does not approve of Percy's and Annabeth's friendship. Also, Athena seems to foreshadow their relationship in the future to Percy.

Percy has three known direct family members. The first is Poseidon, who is his father and God of the Seas. Percy has a great wish to make his father feel fond of him, but he often feels forgotten and disliked by his father.

His second relation is Sally Jackson, his mother. It is shown that he loves her very much, and grieves for quite a while when he believes her dead. His mother cares for him dearly, often giving him half-truths to try to protect him.

His third direct relation is his half brother Tyson, a Cyclops. He is first introduced as a clingy friend, but then turns out to be a monster. During the beginning of The Sea of Monsters, Percy is embarrassed by him, and tries to hide the fact that he is related to him. But he becomes very sad when he discovers that Tyson appears to have died. By the end of the second book, Percy has fully accepted him, and is proud to call him brother.

Percy also is related with all gods, and Demi-gods. Twice removed with other half bloods, excluding children of Hades and Zeus, of which he is a cousin.

Percy is also related to Thaila his cousin, daughter of Zeus.

Through out the series Percy is often blamed for things in the mortal world which have been caused by magical creatures, gods and other demi-gods. In the first book of the series Percy is accused of kidnapping his mother. He and his friends Annabeth and Grover then become public enemies and considered terrorists due to accidentally blowing up a bus (when attacked by Furies) and making a hole in The Arch of St. Louis. At the end of the book they are pronounced innocent- having been kidnapped by a biker (Ares).

In The Sea of Monsters, he also gets in trouble when Tyson and Annabeth supposedly blow up a school gym. This was actually caused by man-eating giants with flaming dodge balls. They once again escape punishment (the cover story being that a gas line exploded). However, Percy is expelled from his school because he carries ‘bad vibes’.

Weapons/Magical Items

 * Riptide/Anaklusmos - A magical sword that can transform into a pen. It returns to a sword form while the pen is uncapped. Anaklusmos has changed the shape of its disguised form over time and ownership to fit into mortal society.  It will also return to Percy's pocket if he ever loses it. First used by Hercules. This blade cannot harm mortals though, as it is made of celestial bronze, which can only harm half-bloods, immortals, and monsters but passes through humans like an illusion.
 * A wristwatch that can be turned into a shield. Forged by Tyson. It is shown that the shield is stronger than most weapons. Damaged in The Titan's Curse.
 * Medusa's Head - a spoil of war and can petrify beings. It is disposed of by Percy's mother.
