Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Legends

He is decrepit and disheveled for the most part, having a dark elongated beard and messy black hair. His eyes look like they've been worn out and his golden crown has nearly turned to rust. He wears a golden black toga that's almost completely torn to shreds and his body is covered with ropes. However, his hands seem to be glowing golden as per his curse of the Golden Touch.

Midas is a very greedy person who loves gold. The only love he has is for his son, Lit. He originally wished for the power to turn things to gold out of greed, but soon regretted it when he found that even food would change to gold. It is shown that after finding out how to reverse the change, he did not learn his lesson and continued turning things to gold. This including his own family or anyone that annoyed him, turning them into gold statues. Midas does not seem to care that he was revived by Gaea and simply enjoys how even after thousands of years, gold is still one of the most valuable metals on earth.

Midas was the king of Pessinus and second king of Phrygia in Greek mythology. Midas ruled the kingdom of Phrygia in the eighth century B.C.E. Along with his son Lityerses, he was briefly resurrected by Gaea when the Doors of Death were opened. When Piper McLean, Leo Valdez, and Jason Grace crash into his mansion, he is polite. Midas tells them that he never learned his lesson after he touched his daughter, turning her into solid gold, and laughs at the claim. Midas then revealed he was working for Gaea and turns Leo and Piper into gold. He gave Jason a choice: be turned into a gold statue for his collection, or fight Lityerses and die. Midas talks about how Lityerses and him had fought off Artemis' Hunters when they arrived. Jason decided to fight Lit and eventually tricked Midas into touching him, turning him into gold. A thunderstorm starts, turning Leo, Piper, and everyone else Midas froze back into humans. The demigods leave Midas to the mercy of his victims who kill him.
