Biography
Perseus Jackson was born on August 18th, to Poseidon, the Greek god of the seas, storms, earthquakes, and the creator of horses, and Sally Jackson, a mortal who could see through the Mist. He was named after the famous Greek hero Perseus by his mother for good luck, because his namesake was one of the few heroes who had a happy ending and died a peaceful death. When Percy was still an infant, his father Poseidon left, as is usual of the gods, leaving Sally to raise Percy on her own. In Percy's case, Poseidon left to protect him and his mother from Zeus who would have been angered to discover that his brother broke the oath; a pact made by Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, also known as the Big Three, to avoid having any more demigod children. As the most powerful Olympians, children of the Big Three wield incredible power and are seen as too dangerous to be brought into existence. Percy was left with vague memories of his father looking over him in his cradle; only remembering a warm smile, a hand on his head, and a ‘golden glow’. At some point as an infant, Percy was attacked by a snake but managed to strangle it to death; just like the famous Greek demigod Heracles, more commonly known as Hercules. As Percy grew older, his mother would tell him that his father had been ‘lost at sea’, never confirming whether he was dead or alive.
Sometime while Percy was a toddler, Sally married Gabe Ugliano and hoped his horrible smell would mask her son's smell from the monsters that would hunt him down. Monsters are attracted to the scent of demigods; the more powerful the demigod, the stronger the scent. With Percy being a son of one of the Big Three, his scent would be even stronger than other demigods. However, Percy despised Gabe, as Gabe would frequently bully Percy and abuse his mother. Percy nicknamed him ‘Smelly Gabe’, since he smelled like ‘moldy garlic pizza wrapped in gym shorts’. Gabe spent much of his time playing poker with his friends. Strange things often happened around Percy, such as school buses exploding and aquariums flooding, which often resulted in him getting into trouble: he was kicked out of more than six schools over the course of six years. This unfortunately made Percy stand out. Many people bullied him during his childhood, while others, such as his second stepfather, Paul Blofis, suspected something was wrong with Percy and still accepted him. Paul was kind to Percy- even though he blew up his school music room.
