Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Legends

Zagreus has spiky black hair and wears a burning laurel crown on his head. He has differently colored eyes, his mother's green on his left and his father's red on his right. He has pale skin and is physically strong and muscular. Like his father, his feet are constantly on fire. He is often described as short. He bleeds red due to having mortal blood. He wears a black and red toga, decorated with bone white belts leading to triple-headed hound skulls on his shoulder. His arms are adorned with red ribbons and bracelets.

Zagreus is the rebellious son of Hades. Despite being born in the Underworld, unlike most residents of the House of Hades, he is laid-back and characterized by his good humor, kindness, and tireless persistence. Although he is friendly, he is also restless, reckless, and stubborn, which often complicates his relationships. His confident attitude, sarcasm, and occasional lack of awareness can lead to turbulent dynamics, especially with those close to him, and his constant attempts to escape leave others, like Megaera and Thanatos, exhausted. Zagreus is known for his self-deprecating humor and has a complex about "bleeding red," feeling as if he is the god of nothing, unlike others in the House. His emotionally distant relationship with Hades has left him harboring frustration and anger from a toxic upbringing, preferring to neglect the tasks assigned to him and fueling his determination to escape and find purpose. He is naïve about the surface world due to his sheltered upbringing.

Zagreus is the prince of the Underworld and the rebellious son of Hades and Persephone. He is the older brother of Melinoë. He always had a sense that he doesn't belong in the House of Hades. After finding out the truth about his lineage, he decides to escape the underworld no matter what, going against his father's will. He is aided and encouraged in his journey by his mentor Achilles and his caretaker Nyx, who puts him into contact with the Olympian Gods who grant him boons to make him more powerful during his escape attempts. Despite their aid, they only see him as a half-god. Embracing his role as the son of Hades, Zagreus allies with demigods from both Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter to thwart rising threats. His ability to navigate the Underworld proves invaluable, and he becomes a bridge between mortals and the divine. With a newfound purpose, Zagreus forges bonds, fights alongside heroes, and seeks to bring balance to the world above and below.
