Yes, but that is only if you are looking at their weapons. His information says he is a master of weaponry, meaning he isnt just skilled in arrows and spears, but other weapons as well. Also, according to the summary of the Son of Neptune, they are going on a quest to free Thanatos, the personification of death. When he was captured before in mythology, Ares freed him so people would die in battle. Patterns tend to repeat themselves so someone on the quest will most likely be a son/daughter of Mars. Also, going by the Olympian week thing, each location was named after a god, "one for each of the seven Great Prophecy demigods." Apollo isnt on the list and the summary says Frank, Hazel, and Percy must face the prophecy of seven.
