Top 10 Worst Percy Jackson Character Deaths
Which was the saddest character death, whether they came back or not?
Jason Grace was the Roman demigod son of Jupiter (Roman God of the Sky) and the late actress Beryl Grace, the younger brother of Thalia Grace (whom Beryl had with Jupiter's Greek form Zeus), the former co-praetor of Camp Jupiter, the Counsellor of Cabin 1 at Camp Half-Blood, the former boyfriend of Piper McLean and one of the protagonists of the 2010-2014 Greco-Roman mythology book series The Heroes of Olympus (the sequel series to the 2005-2009 Greek mythology book series Percy Jackson and the Olympians) and a supporting character in The Trials of Apollo book "The Burning Maze". He had been through so much. Probably not as much as Nico or Hazel or some of the other characters, but a lot. He was not my favorite character, but his death was depressing. He still had so much to live for, to get to know his sister, his friends, to know that Leo was still alive, to have a proper chance at a normal life, but that got taken away from him. Piper and Jason had just broken up, and he had just gotten a prophecy from Sibyl that broke him. and that's only what had happened recently. He was loyal and was as great friend to many. He didn't deserve to die at such a young age, but what he does deserve is Elysium.
People who have hated Jason in The Lost Hero for not being Percy either 1. learned to love him or 2. hated him until BLO/TOA. I, personally, was the second option. I couldn't get behind him until I read TOA, and was happy about him. Then he died, and I sobbed to the floor. Especially with Leo's reaction. Knew I loved a character too late.
Jason...Where to start? He was a true hero. The main character in the whole HoO series. He sacraficed himself for his friends. Even if he isn't better than Percy, he has a good heart. Rest in Elysium Jason Grace. You are a hero.
Just so SAD when he died!
When I realized that he's gonna die in the Burning Maze, I refused to read the Trials of Apollo. Want to keep the happy ending or Blood of Olympus to linger, well sorry Leo, anyway, it's just so SAD!
SO SAD when the seven (especially Jason, Piper, and Leo) went seperate ways...
They're growing apart...seriously.
I love Zoe. She is an amazhang character, and her death made me so incredibly sad. The way she refuses Artemis's attempt to heal her, telling Percy he wasn't so bad after all, apologizing to Thalia... It just makes me so happy that she got turned into a constellation. Bob says hello, Zoe.
She died fighting for what she believed in and for people she found worthy to save. She stopped directing her bitterness about Hercules onto other male heroes, and in her final moments let go of her anger and grief and forgave. Need I say more?
Zoës diat made me cry for 2 WEEKS she was my favourite character. Her whole life she was an outcast and had no family until she became a hunter. Her sisters claimed she wasn't anything to do with them and when she finally sees her dad he kills her. I really wished zoë hadn't of died she was a noble and loyal character and deserved to live. she will always be in the stars and in my heart forever and always.
Did you notice how when Bob closed the doors of death, he asked to say hello to the stars for him? HINT HINT: Zoe Nightshade.
I think the most heartbreaking part of Bianca's death was how she told Percy to give the Hades figurine to Nico because it was the only figurine he didn't have in the game he loved playing, Mythomagic. Love you forever and always, Bianca.
I remember the panic I felt when I first read this... The god statue, telling Percy to tell Nico she was sorry, sacrificing herself... She was an amazing sister, and I wish she were still alive to love Nico. I absolutely adore Bianca. I know it was kind of selfish to join the hunters and leave Nico, but as a big sister I can see it from her view. When I first read the part where she died, and they were searching for her, the line of the prophecy was echoing in my head before they said anything. "one shall be lost in the land without rain," And for a long time, like a year, whenever I re-read that part I would still cry.
"You've grown."
Bianca--she was my favourite character for a while. Her sisterly overprotectiveness, her desire to please--they reminded me of myself. Yet, the true travesty of her death was not it in itself but the impact in had on Nico. It's somewhat challenging to imagine Nico as the little bean of wonder he was after he lost the second mother-figure in his life--even more devastating as she chose rebirth. I hope Bianca finds peace.
I'm the oldest sister of four and I would do anything for my siblings. I connected with her so much. I cried when she died. The way Percy reacted was heart wrenching. He dug around the pile and searched for her. I hope she has a great life in rebirth.
"Bob says hello."
That line RUINED me and I tear up whenever I think about it. He and Damasen were the only ones who gave their lives so that Percy SPECIFICALLY could keep his. Wrecks me every time I read the House of Hades
Poor Bob. Still, in the final Trials of Apollo book Nico hinted at someone from Tartarus calling for help, so Bob could still be alive.
Bob died fighting for percy. Percy was never nice to him but he still risked his life to buy. Percy more time
He gave up his immortal life for Percy, who never cared about him anyway. A true hero.
When he realized his faults and he sacrificed himself to save the others, was heartbroken. I know he was a villain at some point, but he died a heroic death. I was also sad because of the fact the Ms. Castellan went insane and thinks that he is still alive, and that Hermes never really got to know Luke.
Luke, I still have a bit of a grudge against you, but especially after reading Demigod Diaries, I understand more. You felt unloved and unwanted. Unimportant. So you did something about it. You did the wrong thing for the right reason. You didn't like how the Olympians stole the attention from the other gods, and you were a child of one of them! Not even a son of a minor god! But you still acted, and even though you kinda went all evil, it is a tad admirable. Whenever I hear your name I shout or type, "WE FORGIVE LUKE!"
What Luke did was wrong but I understand why he did it. How many half bloods died at the streets because the gods did not help. How many kids died because the gods were screwing around but not taking responsibility. How many kids died because the gods were too prideful to give the minor gods, their cabins. What Luke did was wrong, he tried to stop killing with killing. He did the wrong thing for the right reason.
He gets killed by a Triton that Percy held in the movie. Then in the sequel, get eaten by giants. Ouch! Get's two deaths in one franchise.
I felt really sad but also proud for Charles. He was the excellent metal forger who found Festus the dragon in the forest and rebuilt him. He also built the dog collar for Mrs O Leary and last but obviously not the least he gave up his life for a greater cause to buy the demigod some time and saved Percy jackson's life.
Also being a good boyfriend to Silena.
3 cheers to that guy.
His death made me so sad... And Percy and Silena's reactions?! Broke my dead heart into more pieces. (I guess my heart wasn't dead yet though.) I don't have much more to say than stating how incredibly brave he was, but of course I don't even need to point that out.
I literally started crying. I love Hephaestus children. They're so underrated. I shopped Beckendirf and Silena so much and now they're both dead. Way to go Rick. Ruining people's lives. Thanks very much.
That moment where Percy tells Silena that Beckendorf died... I cried.
Silena died a hero's death, bringing the Ares camp to fight alongside Camp Half-Blood. She joined her boyfriend Charles at last, and I was happy for that.
All these other deaths were heart wrenching and well written. But this character should have survived! She was what a real strong Aphrodite girl is, not Piper. Silena owns the beauty and girliness, and that's part of what makes her such a wonderful, feminist character. Imagine if she was one of the seven! How interesting that would've been! A sweet daughter of Aphrodite who was a former spy(and people would probably still be whispering about it) who wants redemption. And she lost her boyfriend. Though this death was well written and served as great development for Clarisse, it was a waste of potential
She truly died a hero trying to reverse all the damage that she had done as a spy. I really want to find Drew and punch her for how Drew trashes Silena every time I read Drew's name. I really hope she achieved Elysium, she deserves it.
Silena made a mistake, but in the end she died trying to redeem herself. May she rest in peace with Beckendorf by her side.
Ethan... where to start? Ethan made the wrong choices, yes, but I understand that all he wanted to do was to knock the Olympians down a peg. I don't believe that he wanted things to go the way they were going. All he wanted was respect for his mother, his mother who had told him his destiny in trade for an eye. And his destiny came true, just not in the way he thought. RIP, Ethan. Have a good time in Elysium.
He chose the wrong side because he wanted his Mother's approval. In the end, he died hoping that Percy would inspire change (for the better) for the unclaimed half-bloods and the minor gods.
It was revealed that he received Elysium. When I saw it, I literally burst into tears with relief.
He chose the wrong side, and died, but in the end he delayed Kronos enough to win.
It was just so sad that he died… I cried when he died and every time leo thinks of festus I feel a throb in my heart. It's just… so unfair. Why did festus need to die?
He kind of died because he broke...? That's really not my best description tho.
Festus was the best pet ever! He didn't deserve to die.
You say, "Yes", I say, "No"
You say, "Stop" but I say, "Go, go, go"
Oh no
You say, "Goodbye", and I say, "Hello, hello, hello"
I don't know why you say, "Goodbye", I say, "Hello, hello, hello"
I don't know why you say, "Goodbye", I say, "Hello"
Alright kids let me teach you something, so as it states throughout multiple series by Rick Riordan; If people start not worshiping/believing in a god the god will "fade away" or die. This is exactly what happened to Pan.
Have I educated you? Good, now goodbye.
Seriously Grover spent almost all his life looking for Pan, and when he finds him, Pans all like "Oh, hey Grover. If you don't mind I'm gonna die right now. Go tell the others.
You can't just die you are a god you do not die if your a god. It unfair to Grover to find and be excited then you just die and break his heart. YYOURR A GGGOOD.
Pan was a great God of nature. He was respected and his movements were wise.
Leo Valdez is a major character from the book series Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan. He is one of the seven heroes in the Prophecy of Seven. He is a Greek demigod and is the son of Hephaestus / Vulcan, and has the ability to create and manipulate fire (pyrokinesis). I cried dozens of times for Leo's death even when I knew from the beginning he's gonna revive.
How he sacraficed himself to avenge his mom just broke me! I just can't stop breaking down when reading the part he exploded!
I was sadder than ever, even more when Jason died because Leo was always my favorite character. We are so much alike! Anyway, just so sad.
Leo of all people I didn't read trails of apollo until a little while later so his death stayed.
I know that he came back but I still love him. I cried when I thought he died
"This was exactly the kind of twisted, sneaky but also noble kind of thing Leo Valdez would do."
Thalia's bravery still blinds me now, and it was so kind for her to die for her friends. Though a vicious fighter, she is still one of my favourite characters, as she supported Percy a lot and helped out a lot on their quest too. When she was made leader of the Hunt, I was sort of sad that she won't be in the stories with Percy so often now that she's sworn to be a maiden.
She died so Annabeth, Grover, and Luke could get back to camp half blood safely. Thalia didn't have the saddest death but it is forgotten. Thalia was thrown by a cyclops. Zeus saved her by making her a tree. She came back to life by the golden fleece
Hem hem... You guys haven't read the third book? She came back and she became a part of Artemis hunters!
She sacrificed herself to save her friends. Even if she did come back, it was still very sad.
Do I even need to say anything?
"I changed my mind, Annabeth Chase. I would fend them off. Your quest must succeed."
So sad he is so nice.
Isn't he immortal
Sad since it's written in Hazel's perspective.
She died in the past dumbbells.
How did hazel die?
I don't think hazel dies
Crest was my favourite character in all the Rick Riordan books. If he doesn't become a music god I will personally boot Riordan to Mexico!
Poor Crest. He just wanted to play the Ukelele and be a music god. Make him a music god!
He saved the day. Hopefully Apollo will make him a Music God too.
So sad should be ahead of the people who never actually died!
Annabeth Chase is a daughter of Athena and one of the main characters of both the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series and the Heroes of Olympus series. She's also Percy Jackson's girlfriend and has no particular powers aside from her brains and tactics. Annabeth is my favourite character in the Percy Jackson series. She is always strategic and wise and I was really upset when she died (although she didn't).
That moment where Percy thought Annabeth was dead is just heartbreaking.
No she' can't be dead.
She did not die. Did she.
It's so sad! Leo's mother… Died at the hands of dirt face.. Poor leo.. when I read the part about Leo thinking about his childhood pasts I cried.. My tears were shed majorly
One of my widgets on my iPhone is a picture of a picture of Leo and Esperanza, slowly burning at the hands of Dirt Face...
I'M SAD NOW
I think Leo sacrificed himself to dirt face to avenge his mom.
Castor was one of the twins. Imagine losing a friend that haven't been separated from you since you were born. Just imagine, just imagine how hard it would be for his twin, Pollux. Losing a twin was unimaginable, unbearable. I was stunned when Castor was killed. Remember that they were named after the constellation, Gemini. In the mythology, Castor died, and Pollux, being the son of Zeus, was heartbroken, and asked his father to turn them into constellations, which he did. But, sadly, in real life, their father, Dionysus was not able to do that. Pollux was forced to accept the disturbing fact of his twin's death. I just wished that Castor could go in Elysium.
His brother and his dad's reactions just make you cry even if you didn't know the character
I am so sad about this one, because think about Will, at such a young age.
He sacrificed his life to buy Percy more time.
He died to save mortal lives. A ferret faced hero.
1 person left in Apollo.
He died as a hero sacrificing himself to save camp half blood. Destroying the labrinth and the monsters with it
Was a little bad, but still, very sad.
Why does nobody care about him? He was crushed by a giant for gods sake.
SPOILERS FOR TYRANT"S TOMB!
So sad when frank dies (kind of dies, anyway) he sacrificed his firewood that tied him to life to kill Caligula and save Apollo and his home. But by using the firewood as an asset he comes back to life!
Even though he didn't die for good, I still cried when I was reading that part.
Since when did frank die?
Frank... didn't die
Perseus "Percy" Jackson is a fictional character, the title character and narrator of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. He didn't die ! It was Jason, not Jackson
What I read the whole series he doesn't die Jason does I the burning mase
Percy Jackson was great!
When did percy die?
I'm not sad but I would thank him because he accidentally shot himself up to Gaia and killed her along with Leo's explosion but um glad he died. Doesn't deserve to live!
Be honest, who could actually be sad that Octavian died? What a terrible character.
That A-hole deserved to die. Hope he ended up in the fields of punishment.
Leo should have cursed him that he has to live in tartarus and when he dies he just comes back to tartarus and dies again.
