Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Legends

In her human disguise of "Mrs. Dodds", Alecto appears as a stern and severe woman with gray hair in a neat bun. She wears all black with a blood-red scarf. In her true Fury form, she has a bird-like body with red feathers framing her face and dark brown feathers over the rest of her body. She has taloned feet and enormous bat-like wings.

Alecto is stern, no-nonsense, and sadistic, both as a math teacher and as a lieutenant of Hades. She takes her mission very seriously and does not question her master's orders. The only thing she is known to be afraid of is Medusa.

Alecto and her sisters serve Hades, the god of the Underworld, and are among his strongest soldiers. Her master sometimes sends her to the mortal world disguised as a human to punish those who have angered him. Alecto and her sisters were sent after Thalia Grace, a forbidden half-blood child of Zeus. Thalia's traveling companions, Annabeth Chase, Luke Castellan, and Grover Underwood successfully made it to Camp Half-Blood, but Thalia insisted on staying behind to fight and was mortally wounded. To spare his daughter from the Fury's wrath in the Underworld, Zeus transformed his daughter into a tree on Half-Blood Hill. However, after Percy Jackson returned the Helm of Darkness to Hades, Alecto respected Percy.
