Tristan Strong Not part of Riordanverse

The following article/section is from the Tristan Strong continuity under Rick Riordan Presents and not the Riordanverse canon.

Hmm, that's not the way I see it. In case you can't tell. I'm a collector. Antiques. One-of-a-kind-items. Trinkets. But most importantly, I collect secrets. Shifts in the tide of Alke's whims. So when a little birdie told me there's a kid running around with the powers of the gods, maybe I listen. Maybe I figure, if I can get my hands on those powers, interested parties might pay me a fortune.

–Big Big to Tristan upon confiscating his bracelet in Tristan Strong Destroys the World.
