Michael Yew

"It's our loot! If you don't like it, you can kiss my quiver!"

- Michael Yew

Michael Yew (Μιχαήλ in Ancient Greek) is a son of Apollo. He later becomes the leader of his cabin following the death of Lee Fletcher. He is presumed dead in the Second Olympian War as he was missing in action at the Battle of Manhattan. His successor is Will Solace.

The Last Olympian
Michael has a smart mouth, and doesn't back down easily. He found a golden chariot and he and Clarisse fought over it until Clarisse gave up on fighting in the great war, though she changed her mind and killed the drakon. He is suspicious when he hears about the spy, and is very quick to point out disadvantages and problems on the battlefield. He works alongside Percy. Percy considers him a good friend. When they were crossing the Williamsburg Bridge, however, Michael turns up missing as Percy destroys part of the bridge to prevent Kronos from crossing. Percy searches for Michael only to find his bow. He is presumed dead.

Personality
Michael is often bad-tempered, but is a good fighter, and quick on his feet and with his mind. He has a smart mouth, and gets into fights a lot because he always seems to have a chip on his shoulder. He is a solid friend though, and stood up to the Titans, along with the rest of the camp.

Appearance
Michael stands at 4'6" but with an extra 2 feet of attitude. He is often compared to a ferret, with a pointy nose, scrunched up features from looking down at the shaft of his arrow or maybe from scowling. He has black hair and brown eyes.
