Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Legends

Hephaestus looks like a middle aged man with unruly grey and white hair, beard, and mustache. He wears overall and glasses. He is paralyzed on his left side and uses a gold cane to walk.

Hephaestus is an 'outsider' from the Olympian family and behaves less like a royal and does not involve himself with the drama of Olympus. He is highly intelligent and busies himself with inventions. He created an entire amusement park full of entertainment and traps. Unlike other gods he is reasonable as seen when he listens to Annabeth's pleas. He is also seemingly sympathetic.

After the chaos and battles depicted in the Percy Jackson series, Hephaestus continued to immerse himself in his forge, creating wonders both for gods and mortals. As the god of fire and smithing, he remains pivotal in designing weapons and artifacts that shape the fate of Olympus and the world beyond. His devotion to his craft has only deepened, finding solace and purpose in the flames of creation.
