 * Berserk Button: Never mention Global Warming around Khione.

Hera/Juno
Queen of the Gods.


 * Babysitter From Hell/Magical Nanny:
 * Character Development: Compared to how she was in the previous series, she's far nicer to demigods.
 * Gambit Roulette: She seems to be pulling this considering . Bonus points for working on this
 * I Have You Now My Pretty
 * Patron Saint: For Jason. And of Rome in general.
 * Queen Incognito:
 * Wicked Stepmother: Only inverted towards Jason.

Ares/Mars
The God of War.


 * Blood Knight: Subverted as Mars. He’s not about endless bloodshed without resolution.

Thanatos
The god of death.

 * The Dragon: To Gaia
 * Large and In Charge

Polybotes

 * Arch Enemy: To Poseidon
 * Informed Ability: Supposed to be the anti-Poseidon, and his mere presence left Percy in a shivering pile the first time he saw the giant.
 * It could be that what made Percy Freak Out was not Polybotes, but the notion of evil Centaurs and Cyclops.
 * The book specifically states that looking at Polybotes made Percy feel the major nausea, though.
 * It's also possible that since he is the Anti-Poseidon that he was intending to fight him in the sea or ocean so that Poseidon would think he had the advantage, but since  that in a straight up fight he would have the advantage.
 * That is a possibility--but Percy was offered a choice in the beginning of the book: fight for the chance to save all that he loves, or retreat to the sea and live a long life, untouchable by the war and invincible in his own territory. That this decision mirrors one made by Hercules, and that it was given by a god, lends credence to it being an honest option for him, which suggests that
 * Like the old monsters, Hera might have meant for Percy to hide in the far reaches of the ocean while Polybotes usurped his father's kingdom.
 * Prongs of Poseidon: Simultaneously Type I and Type II.

Alcyoneus

 * Arch Enemy: To Hades
