Travis Stoll

Travis Stoll is a demigod attending Camp Half-Blood. He is a son of Hermes, and loves to play practical jokes and steal things, taking after his father, Hermes. He has a wicked sense of humor, and loves joking. He is a brother of Connor Stoll, and although they look identical, they are not twins.

The Lightning Thief
Travis does not appear in this book, but in The Sea of Monsters it is mentioned that Percy first met him while they were in the Hermes cabin together.

The Sea of Monsters
Because Luke betrayed the camp, Connor and Travis are now the leaders of the Hermes cabin. Percy says he can never remember who is older, although later in the series it was that Travis is the older sibling. In the chariot races, Travis and Conner man the Hermes chariot. Percy states that he shudders to think what schemes they have cooked up. Unfortunately, right after the race begins, they ram into the Apollo chariot and both chariots flip over.

In the next race, the Stoll brothers attack Clarisse in the Ares Chariot with javelins. They fall behind as Connor has a fierce fight with Clarisse as Travis drives. They end up coming in third, behind Percy's chariot and the Ares chariot

The Titan's Curse
When Percy first arrives at camp, he sees Travis and Connor trying to break into the camp store. In the game of Capture the Flag against the Hunters they are both on defense with Percy and a few others. Unfortunately they both get wounded by the hunter Phoebe and Connor ends up with two arrows in his helmet.

Later, when Chiron calls a meeting, Travis and Connor go to represent the Hermes cabin. Connor and Travis give Zoe a collector's T-shirt to give to Phoebe. It is later revealed that the T-shirt was sprayed with poisonous centaur blood and that Aphrodite gave it to them so that Percy could go on the quest. Payback!

The Battle of the Labyrinth
When Percy arrives at camp, he sees Connor and Travis in the driveway of the Big House, trying to hot-wire the camp's SUV. In the scorpion war game, they are paired together, which is no surprise, because they do everything together. They aren't very stealthy, as Percy and Annabeth both hear them stumbling through the woods, cursing.

They both attend the war council with the other head counselors of the other cabins. Travis offends Clarrisse by saying she is to chicken to enter the Labyrinth, which he then says he didn't mean to get her so upset They both fight bravely in the Battle of the Labyrinth and both survived.

The Last Olympian
Travis and his brother attend the war council that Chiron calls. Neither of them seem to be bothered by the fact that Clarisse isn't speaking to any of them. When Percy mentions that there is a spy, Connor says that they have suspected a spy for years and that it is probably someone who knew Luke well. He glances at Annabeth, but then quickly looks away, stating "It could be anybody".

It is revealed that the Stoll brothers have somewhat of a rivalry with Katie Gardner, the head counselor of the Demeter cabin, ever since they decorated the roof of her cabin with Easter eggs. Travis and Connor both get very angry when she suggests that the spy is one of Luke's siblings. When Percy says that Kronos must have another attack planned, Travis tells him that he did, but then percy blew up his ship. They both later attend Beckendorf's funeral.

They both comes along with most of the camp when Percy calls them into the city and they go up to Olympus. Their father, Hermes arrives and is not happy. It is unknown if this was the first time Travis and and Conner met him, but they don't speak to him, and are happy when Annabeth tells them to lead the group into the city, giving them an important job right in front of their dad.

After a while they run back in and show Percy and Annabeth that Morpheus put the entire island of Manhattan to sleep. Both brothers are interested of taking advantage of the sleeping city and raid a candy store, which Katie Gardner scolds them for. Connor takes half of the Hermes cabin and defends the Manhattan Bridge, and Travis takes the other half and defends the Brooklyn Bridge. Most of them survive.

Travis leads a small group of demigods in a raid of a close by drug store for medicine and painkillers. He stays in fairly good shape throughout the battle, not being majorally wounded and continuing to fight throughtout the battle, implying he is a decent fighter. After Silena's death, Travis and him ask Percy about her death. He refuses to let her be known as a spy, althought they had already heard it. They disscus the advantage of the elevator and tell him they already tried to disable it, but it is magic and they can't. Connor complaines that there are no more reinforcements, giving Percy the idea to send a message to Nico.

After the battle, Travis and his brother come to olympus and report to Percy that his parents and Chiron are alive. They look kinda worried about their teacher. Travis ultimitly survives and Connor does as well, and they head back to camp to share the duty as the counselors of the much-less-crowded Hermes Cabin. Both brothers were involved on the eavesdropping of Percy and Annabeth and it it Connor who has the idea of throwing them in the lake.

Powers
It is not mentioned what supernatural powers Hermes has, but this much can be gleaned from what he is known for.


 * Hermes is the god of thieves, so Travis might have a supernatural way of stealing things without others noticing.
 * Hermes is the god of speed, travel, roadways and the messenger of the gods. His children might be able to teleport places (Luke did this at the end of The Lightning Thief film).

Personality
"They are both so unlike my old enemy Luke that it's hard to believe they're all sons of Hermes"' 

Travis is a fun-loving, mischeivous pranster, but also nice, loyal and brave enough to be willing to fight for Olympus and his father, Hermes. He likes to play pranks, and is also quite a pickpocket. He takes these traits from his father, Hermes, and share them with his brother, Conner. They are seen by Percy trying to pick the lock on the camp store and trying to high-jack the camps SUV. Because of their mischeif making, they are not on good terms with some people. Katie Gardner has had a rivalry with them since they decorated the Demeter's cabin roof with Easter eggs. They are also shown to dislike Clarisse but have always gotton along with Percy, who states that they are pretty nice guys but you should always keep one hand on your wallet when they are around and never give them access to shaving cream.

Appearance
Travis is tall and skinny with a mop of curly brown hair that hangs in his eyes. Like most of the other children of Hermes, he has upturned eyebrows, a sarcastic smile and a gleam in his eyes. He has a crooked smile to match his personality and is a little bit taller than his brother, Conner, which is the only way people can tell them apart.

Name Etymology
Percy commented on the irony of his last name being Stoll, as in stole, even though he and his brother didn't get the joke.
