Castor

Castor was a Greek demigod, son of Dionysus and the twin brother of Pollux. He was killed in the Battle of the Labyrinth when Kronos' army attacked Camp Half-Blood.

The Lightning Thief
Castor is first mentioned by Percy Jackson. He is seen first with his brother helping the strawberry plants grow, then at dinner he is seen at table 12. Percy notices that Dionysus only has two boys in his cabin, Castor and his twin brother Pollux. However, their names are not yet mentioned.

The Battle of the Labyrinth
Castor fights bravely for the camp, but dies during the Battle of the Labyrinth by the hands of an enemy demigod (stabbed in the arm and hit on the head). His father Dionysus is depressed and angry over his son's death, surprising everyone at camp by caring about his dearly departed son.

At Castor's funeral, his twin brother Pollux tries to make a speech for his brother, but is unable to choke out the words due to his grief as he was crying. He then lights the funeral pyre and sobs.

The Last Olympian
In Percy's vision, Dionysus states that he had already lost one son (Castor) and did not want to lose another one, and asks Percy to keep Pollux safe for him.

Appearance
Castor is described as looking just like his father, Dionysus. The only exception is that Castor and his twin brother Pollux both have curly blond hair, instead of Dionysus' curly black hair. They are also described as being plump.

Abilities

 * ADHD: Like most demigods, he possesses inborn supernatural battle reflexes and senses that he uses to analyze the fighting style of his opponent.
 * Dyslexia: His brain is hardwired for Ancient Greek.

Demigod Abilities

 * Chlorokinesis: As a son of Dionysus, he can control plants, grape and strawberry vines.
 * He can presumably control madness, being able to cure or cause it.

Pollux
It is shown that they were very close, and that they loved each other. Pollux was brokenhearted at his brother's death, and this helped his fury against Kronos and his monsters, so he had no doubts about him fighting for his brother's memory. They were always seen working together in the camp. Percy is also sad that he never really got to know Castor before he died as stated at the end of The Battle of Labyrinth.
