Product Information

He set up mines to stop bulldozers before the battle but was taken hostage by Commodus along with Emmie and Georgie. He looks to Apollo to see if he has a plan when the mortal god goes into his Divine Form and blinds the emperor, he helps Emmie and Georgie getaway. After the battle he and Josephine rebuilt Festus. Jason woke up Leo from a dream and urged him to go to breakfast, since Nico had new information. In Annabeth's absence, Jason had become the new leader of the ship, but it gave him a lot of stress. Jason had breakfast with Nico, Leo, Hazel, and Frank, and had Nico tell them the new information he found. Jason also often had to stop Leo from making jokes at Nico's expense. As he discussed with the crew, they were interrupted when the screen glitched and Coach Hedge and Piper were revealed to be tied up. Jason immediately yelled for Piper and went to untie her.

Since the House of Hades, Jason had nightmares about Gaea. Sometimes in Epirius with Clytius, some with Gaea destroying Camp Half Blood, and one with Lupa killing him after revealing her true form and his mom leaving him. In the last nightmare, he would be scared and wake up with tears. He was also very worried about Reyna, Nico, and Hedge. Especially Nico, and he would pray to his father to help him after everything he'd been through. Hazel Levesque and Leo first meet in The Mark of Athena, but first sees him in a video scroll during The Son of Neptune. When they meet at Camp Jupiter, Hazel is very suspicious of Leo and kept frowning and looking at him. They first had a proper conversation in Salt Lake City, and he found himself to be infatuated with Hazel. Hazel studied Leo, which made Leo feel self conscious, but also wondered if they met before. Hazel and Leo ended up going on Arion to Salt Lake City together after Hazel insisted. Leo liked Hazel even more after he found out about her story from Percy, and thought she seemed warm and alive, and good with people. He knew he should keep his distance from her since she was dating Frank, but thought her hair smelled good and riding with her with his hand around her waist made his heart race. Eventually, Hazel brought up the subject of Sammy with Leo, saying he looked so much like him, which embarrassed them both. While travelling through the city, they had plenty of awkward moments, like when Hazel caught Leo's hand when he almost fell, making the two be face to face. But the two became friends after they defeated Narcissus.

Did we miss something on diversity?

In The House of Hades, Leo felt guilty about Percy and Annabeth and knew it was his fault, but knew that moping around wouldn't save him. However, after meeting Calypso, Leo felt a surge of anger towards Percy, and was mad at him for hurting Calypso. To make things worse, since Calypso clearly still had feelings for Percy, which made things ten times worse for Leo. Ultimately, however, Leo is the one to save Percy and Annabeth by flinging a screwdriver at the Doors of Death, managing to save them just in time. Leo was very happy when Percy survived Tartarus and whooped in happiness.

While Leo's fatal flaw has not been revealed, he shows feelings of inferiority - being unwanted or not trusted, the one no one wanted. He also can say the wrong things at the wrong time, as shown in The Dark Prophecy when he is held captured by one of Commodus' men, a Germanus named Albatrix. When Leo accidentally polishes Buford with Windex instead of Lemon Pledge with extra moisturizing formula, Buford runs off with two syncopations essential to building the engine for the Argo II. Leo, in a panic, asks for Jason and Piper's help to retrieve them. He explains the situation of how in about an hour, dangerous chemicals will mix in the engine blowing up the forest portion of Camp Half-Blood without the syncopations. With everyone caught up, the three friends journey into the forest in search of Buford. They then encounter Maenads on their journey and Leo feigns to be the Greek god, Dionysus, to please the Maenads. Suspicious, the Maenads figure out the truth and chase Leo and his friends until Leo comes up with an idea. Leo sends Jason to go find Buford, while he and Piper run towards Bunker 9. Once they reach Bunker 9, Leo distracts the Maenads with a party while he sets up a trap to ensnare them. Leo finally sets off the trap which drops a net (based on the original net which Hephaestus used to catch Ares and Aphrodite together) on the Maenads. Jason just in time arrives with Buford and Leo fixes the syncopator in the engine of the Argo II, thus narrowly preventing a massive explosion at Camp Half-Blood. Later Chiron and Argus arrive and decide to deport the Maenads away. Leo was given fake Mist memories of Jason Grace being there for four months before he left, and Leo and Jason became best friends. They would joke about Piper, and Jason would be fine with Leo's annoying jokes. In the Mist memories, Piper and Jason had started dating a few weeks before the beginning of The Lost Hero. Even though Leo was happy for them, he felt like the third wheel and that they didn't need him anymore. While praetor, Jason fought to change the camp's rules and traditions, even trying to change the name, Twelfth Legion, to First Legion. But it was no use, and Camp was too traditional. But while Praetor, Fifth Cohort's reputation was restored in the eyes of Camp and it became respected again for the first time since the 1980s. Jason welcomed numerous demigods to camp, including Hazel Levesque. Jason and Hazel became friends, though Hazel thought of him as hard to read and more as a legend than a person, and he told her about his battle with Krios. Jason and Reyna also met Nico di Angelo when he introduced himself as a son of Pluto, and welcomed him to camp, letting him be ambassador.Achelous | Aeolus | Asclepius | Boreas | Eurus | Hecate | Iris | Hypnos | Keto | Khione | Kymopoleia | Mithras | Nemesis | Nike | Notus | Phorcys | Serapis | Thanatos | Triptolemus | Zephyros Jason eventually became Centurion of the Fifth Cohort, and while Centurion, his cohort always got the job of cleaning out Basilisk's nests. Despite his easygoing attitude, Leo is emotionally scarred from the death of his mother as he blamed himself for most of his life for causing her death. He hid a hurt and angry demeanor with humor until realizing that his mother's death was not his fault. Leo's serious side exhibits when he is angered by someone, when those he loves are threatened, or when the situation calls for it. He is also frequently seen building small machines and gadgets, and is very skilled and serious about his work, having built a large portion of the Argo II on his own. He is able to funnel his nervous energy into mechanical solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems. Leo has a tendency to view even the most emotionally-charged situations objectively, which Calypso disapproves of. This causes conflict between the two. He also feels that his whole life has been nonstop danger and running, which is reflected in his abundance of nervous energy and need to always fidget and keep his hands moving. In The Mark of Athena, Leo was suspicious of Nico’s loyalties, due to knowing about both camps, and thought rescuing him was a trap. However, after Hazel fought with him and Jason, Leo decided to rescue him for Hazels sake and apologized to her, even though he thought he was suspicious for a good reason, and knew he had to travel fast to rescue him before it was too late. Leo even helped pinpoint Nico’s location with Hazel and Frank, and rescued him, Percy, Jason, and Piper On Nico's end, he was very grateful that Leo rescued him and thanked everyone, including Leo, for rescuing him. After Percy and Annabeth fell into Tartarus, Nico reassured him that they were alive and that if they were dead, he would feel it. However, Leo was still creeped out by Nico and did not like how he hesitated if Percy would survive.
