Category:Fifth Cohort

The hard luck Cohort of the XIIth Legion where the unreferenced and unwanted recruits are sent.

History:

As recently as the 1980s the Fifth was accounted the best of the five Cohorts but that all changed when Michael Varus, a legionary of the Fifth and senior Praetor led them to disaster in Alaska, losing the legion's eagle and most of their Imperial gold weapons.

Jason Grace had gone a long way towards restoring the Fifth's status by his leadership through the Titan war but his unexplained disappearance destroyed all their gains. Percy reverses the trend again in 'Son of Neptune'.
