Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Legends

Nero appears to be no more than 30 years old, but it is "a hard 30" (according to Apollo). Nero's face is haggard. His belly is distended from too much partying. Nero's mouth is fixed in a permanent sneer. His curly hair is extended into a wraparound neck beard. His chin is quite weak. Nero tries to make up for his weak chin with an expensive Italian suit of purple wool. He keeps his gray shirt open to display golden chains. He wears shoes made of hand-tooled leather. Even Apollo admits to somewhat admiring Nero's expensive, albeit somewhat impractical tastes.

Nero is exceptionally malevolent, ruthless, and bloodthirsty. He is known as one of the evilest and infamous emperors in all of Roman history (as well as one of the most evil people of all time). Nero is infamous for his tyranny and overindulgence in wealth and luxury with little regard to his subjects. He orchestrated the death of his own mother (despite her having helped him obtain the throne), had his stepbrother poisoned and his stepsister's husband exiled and later executed, along with his first wife. He refused to help the common citizens during the fire of Rome and selfishly prospered from it. Nero is as intelligent and cunning as he is evil. He has been able to stay in the shadows for centuries with his mysterious organization Triumvirate Holdings. He has also successfully manipulated his young and impressionable stepdaughter Meg McCaffrey into giving unquestionable loyalty to him.

Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, better known as simply Nero, was one of the most infamous emperors in Roman history. He was a descendant of the god Apollo. Nero was made a god-emperor by his followers, and was one of the three leaders of the infamous Triumvirate Holdings along with Commodus and Caligula. He was given the nickname, "The Beast". He was killed during the assault on his tower when Apollo revoked his immortality upon the destruction of his fasces.
