The Trials of Apollo[]
The Burning Maze[]
Crest was initially found guarding the entrance to the maze which was later revealed as a punishment he received from his uncle to whom his mother had sent to teach him how to use weapons. Unlike most of his species, Crest was not interested in fighting and instead wanted to train in music. This often made him a prey for teasing.
He was killed by Medea, the sorceress, while trying to buy time for Apollo to escape.
The Tower of Nero[]
Crest is mentioned by Nero as one of the people who have sacrificed himself for Apollo.
Appearance[]
