So, when you say help, do you mean like . . . battalions of gods charging down here in their chariots, or more like the gods just giving us their blessing, like, hey, good luck with that, legion!?

–Larry to Apollo in the Tyrant's Tomb

Larry is the Roman demigod son of Mercury. He is a senator and officer of the legion, and is currently a centurion of the Second Cohort.

History[]

Larry was born to the god Mercury. Like other Roman demigods, he presumably went through Lupa's trials prior to joining camp.

Larry must have gone through a few years of service before rising to the rank of centurion.

The Heroes of Olympus[]

The Son of Neptune[]

Mercury 1tl

Mercury, his father.

At Camp Jupiter's War Games, Larry helps defend the fort along with the First Cohort. Despite their attempt, the Fifth Cohort emerged victorious.

Larry was present at the following senate meeting, where the legion discussed the quest to Alaska. He shows disdain towards the idea of letting the members of the fifth lead the quest. Dakota interjects, saying that Larry's cohort had their podex whipped by the Fifth at the Roman War Games the night before.

When the Argo II was close to landing, Larry also participated in the senate meeting.

The Trials of Apollo[]

The Tyrant's Tomb[]

Larry is seen at the Senate House. There, he questions Apollo's plan of summoning divine aid.

A few days later, Larry and his cohort storm a ship in preparation for the oncoming invasion. He greatly enjoys the task.

During the battle, his cohort warred against the cynocephali. They were promptly aided by Apollo and Meg McCaffrey. He sends two of his troops, Carl and Reza, to escort them to Frank Zhang.

The son of Mercury survives the battle. At the end, he presents Apollo's golden bow as a parting gift.

Personality[]

Larry is incredibly devoted towards serving the legion. He is shown to be brave in battle, and is faithful towards upholding the legacy of Rome.

Initially, Larry is seen as skeptical and judgmental. He had previously looked down upon the Fifth Cohort. Larry may have changed his mind sometime afterwards.

In The Tyrant's Tomb, Larry is shown to have a goofy and lighthearted nature, as he expressed his desire to become a pirate.

Trivia[]

  • In The Tyrant's Tomb, Larry was a centurion for the Third Cohort, rather than the second.
