Luke captures them again, and is enraged to learn that Percy sent the fleece ahead with another hero Clarisse La Rue, a daughter of Ares. The protagonists manage to escape the ship, and later get the golden fleece. Luke is also surprised that Annabeth has allied with a cyclops (as they and Thalia had a run in with a cyclops when they were travelling together).
Here, he tells the protagonists that every time a half-blood joins their cause, a piece of Kronos appears in the sarcophagus that is on their ship and attempts to convince Percy and Annabeth to join him (stating that Thalia would have done so if she was alive), but they refuse. They encounter Luke, who is captain of the Princess Andromeda, which is a demon cruise ship. The following year, Percy along with Annabeth and his Cyclops half-brother Tyson leave Camp-Half Blood when they get a quest to find the golden fleece when Thalia's pine tree is poisoned. Luke returns as the main antagonist in Sea of Monsters, next to Kronos. Luke flees, and Percy is barely saved by the other campers. Hesets a pit scorpion on Percy, which stings him. When Percy calls out Luke for repaying Thalia's sacrifice by betraying the gods, Luke replies that the gods let Thalia die and it would be one of the many things they would pay for. Later, after the lightning bolt is retrieved, and Percy is back at camp, Luke admits to Percy that he stole Zeus's lightning bolt, framed Poseidon, and enchanted the winged sneakers to drag the wearer into Tartarus. Grover manages to get them off, and they escape before Kronos can pull them in. The winged sneakers began to drag Grover to the pit because he was wearing them. Later, the protagonists reach Tartarus, which was the pit where the gods cast their enemies. Percy gives these to Grover because Zeus, who holds a grudge against Poseidon, will not let a son of Poseidon enter his "domain", meaning he is not allowed to fly. When Percy gets a quest to retrieve Zeus's lightning bolt along with Annabeth and Grover, Luke gives him a pair of winged sneakers he used for his failed quest. Unbeknownst to Percy, Luke was actually pretending to be his friend and had managed to earn his trust. When Percy Jackson, a 12-year-old son of Poseidon, arrives at Camp Half-Blood and briefly joins the Hermes Cabin (until he is claimed by Poseidon), a now 19-year-old Luke (who was the cabin's counseler) makes him feel welcome. Luke serves as the main antagonist in The Lightning Thief. Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Lightning Thief Luke dreamed of Kronos, who convinced him to serve him. Enraged that he was given a quest with no glory (because Hercules did it once) and then failing, and his belief that the gods let Thalia die, Luke began to plot against the gods. He was given the quest, but scarred in the face by Ladon, the dragon that guarded the tree with the gold apples. About 3 years later, the now 17-year-old Luke was given a quest by Hermes to steal a golden apple from the Garden of the Hespirides.
Zeus took pity on his daughter and turned her into a pine tree to keep her from dying. Thalia sacrificed herself to allow her friends to get to Camp Half-Blood.
However, when they were almost there, they were attacked by monsters sent by Hades, who was angry at Zeus for breaking the oath he made with him and Poseidon to not have any more demigod children. Luke got angry at Hermes for not answering his prayers and for not being around, before storming out of the house with Thalia and Annabeth, declaring them to be his family now.Įventually, the trio were found by a satyr named Grover Underwood who then escorted them Camp Half-Blood (after Hermes contacted Chiron to send a satyr to bring Luke to camp). When Thalia got injured, Luke was forced to return to his old home for supplies and ended up meeting his father Hermes. After Luke found out that he was a demigod (half-god, half-mortal), he journeyed at the age of 14 with Annabeth Chase, a 7-year-old daughter of Athena and Thalia Grace, a 12-year-old daughter of Zeus. Later two important events occurred that developed his character, and his hatred for the gods. After this incident May would have occasional visions which would cause her eyes to glow green, scaring Luke so much that he ran away from home when he was nine. However, May was unaware of the curse Hades put on the current host and was driven insane. Much of Luke's early life is unknown, but that he was born sometime in the mid to late 1980s in Westport, Connecticut to May Castellan and Hermes and that when he was around a year old his mother attempted to become the next host of the Oracle of Delphi at Camp Half-Blood, a training camp for demigods. 6.1 Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.
