–Mr. D about Percy Jackson, I Become Supreme Lord of the Bathroom | ||
Dionysus, also known as Mr. D, is the Greek god of grape-harvest, wine, orchards, fertility, madness, parties, religious ecstasy, and theater. He also serves as the camp director of Camp Half-Blood.
History[]
Dionysus was punished by his father Zeus to be the camp director at Camp Half-Blood, and forbade him to consume alcohol. He does not like being camp director and is often annoyed with the campers.

As a son of Zeus, Dionysus is an extremely powerful god.
