Jack "Poseidon" Turner
Name:: Jack Turner
Nickname:: Jacky, King Of The Sea
Age:: Immortal [But appears 16]
Gender:: Male
Species:: God
Olympian Parent:: Kronos [Calling himself a son of Triton]
Years at Camp:: First year
Claimed:: Unfortunately [Yes]
Celebrity Claim: Kevin Mckidd [Matt Lanter]
Looks:: As Poseidon he is around 30 years old physically with brownish red hair and sea green-blue eyes like that of his son Percy. He is a strong muscle build and usually is dressed in golden armor with a scaling pattern on the metal and his large triton in hand.
However as Jack, he appears to be around sixteen and still his a strong muscle build with light brown hair and the same sea green eyes. If one looked twice they may see some resemblance between him and Percy, he hopes they dont. In his Demi god disguise he usually dresses like a surfer would, with a twine bead choker and bracelets and often in a pair of swim trunks or jeans and a t-shirt.
Personality:: Poseidon is overall a benevolent god, although he shares many characteristics with his brother Zeus being stubborn, proud, and temperamental. However, he appears to have matured over the centuries to a point where these attributes do not dominate him to the same extent they do Zeus, making him much more reasonable. He cares for his children and watches over them more than many of the other gods actively giving them advice or aiding them indirectly many times during the series, showing a more caring and overall human personality who Percy bears a lot of traits from. His personality in the book is the same in the movie. For example, he is, in both, calm and not too easy to anger, unlike Zeus.
Poseidon also has a very particular sense of humor, often times making it hard to tell if he is joking or not. After Percy saves Mount Olympus, he tells him he can now claim all his other children and gives Percy a wink as if he's joking, but it's hard to tell. He also has a habit of toying with his younger brother Zeus.
As Zeus is begrudgingly thanking his brother for his help in defeating Typhon, Poseidon would interrupt with phrases like "I'm sorry brother. What was that?" and correcting him when Zeus says it would have been "difficult" instead of "impossible" to defeat Typhon. It has also been shown that he is very protective, as in The Last Olympian, when Percy in attempting to convince him to help Olympus, he states that he must protect his home (the sea), but Percy then reminds him that Olympus is his true home.
Family:: Zeus & Hades (Brothers)
Rest of the Olympian Gods
Percy Jackson, Gabrielle Vaughn , Triton, Cyclopes', Pegasus' , Polyphemus, Antaeus (Children)
History:: Poseidon spent his childhood in his father's stomach, along with the rest of his brothers and sisters. When Metis and Zeus made Kronos regurgitate his brothers and sisters with a mixture of mustard and wine, Poseidon joined their cause and battle against the Titans, along with his siblings Hades, Demeter, Hestia, and Hera, beginning the Titanomachy or the First Olympian War (actually the First Titan War). They all destroyed Kronos in the First Titan War with Zeus killing his father with Kronos's own scythe. After they won the war against the Titans, the three brothers; Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades drew lots. Zeus drew the sky, and Poseidon the sea. Hades got the Underworld as this was the only realm left after his brothers. Because of this, Hades despised his brothers, and this would cause him to become a slow raging god.
Poseidon built a palace in the sea, replaced Oceanus the old sea Titan, and married one of his daughters, Amphitrite. She became Queen of the sea, and they ruled together. They had a son, and named him Triton, whom is his heir to his throne and another half-brother to Percy.
Poseidon is the father of many heroes, including Theseus. His half-blood son is Percy Jackson.
Poseidon and Athena both competed to be the patron god of Athens. Poseidon's gift was a saltwater spring while Athena's was the olive tree. The people of Athens chose Athena over Poseidon, because they saw that her gift was better than Poseidon's. This most likely angered Poseidon, because he was one of the 'Big Three' gods (Zeus, Poseidon and Hades), and Athena was a less important goddess.
Poseidon had a sexual relationship with Medusa who was originally a virgin maiden and priestess of Athena. Athena once caught Poseidon with his girlfriend Medusa (who was once a pretty maiden) together in her temple engaging in disgusting acts in her virgin temple (as Athena is a virgin goddess). Furious at Poseidon and Medusa for doing such disgusting acts in her temple, she turned Medusa and her sisters into the "Three Gorgons." This is also possibly a main cause for Athena's rivalry with Poseidon.
After Percy survived the Hellhound's attack (within Camp Half-Blood border during a game of Capture the Flag), Poseidon claimed him. This caused discord among the gods of Olympus, as this was proof that Poseidon had not honored the pact he had made with his two brothers after World War II. After Zeus' lightning bolt was discovered to be missing, Zeus suspects Poseidon used Percy to steal it, and demands he return it by the Summer Solstice, and Poseidon in turn wanted an apology for being suspected on that date.
A quest is given to his son Percy to find the missing lightning bolt and return it in time by the Summer solstice in order to stop a war amongst the gods. He succeeds, and Poseidon got to meet his son formally. He told Zeus that he had admitted his wrongdoing, and Percy felt like he was just a god's mistake. Poseidon was feeling very sorry for Percy, because being a hero means a tragic end for most heroes. Percy told his father he wasn't sorry for being who he was, and Poseidon told him that he was a true son of the Sea God.
The next year he sent his Cyclops son Tyson to the same school as Percy, in order to get them to know each other, and sent the Hippocampi to Percy and his friends, also Percy gets a letter from him telling him to "Brace yourself" Even though he was only 13 it could mean something about the prophecy. It could also refer to Thalia's resurrection later.
When they all went to Olympus the next year Poseidon joins the party, talks to Percy about Luke, and about his prophecy. Percy assures his father he isn't afraid. Poseidon vouches for Percy and Bessie in the end, saving Bessie's life.
On Percys fifteenth Birthday Poseidon visits Percy, Sally, and Tyson at their apartment. Sally was embarrassed at seeing her old boyfriend and former first husband again. Percy and Tyson greet him, and Poseidon is introduced to Sally's boyfriend, Paul Blofis. Poseidon then tells Percy of the war he is having in his underwater kingdom, and gives him a birthday present, a sand-dollar. He then warns Percy of the upcoming disasters, and leaves. He also tells Percy that he is his favorite son.
The next time Percy see's his father , he looks aged and weak, unlike the man he once knew. Poseidon was busy fighting the Titan of the sea, Oceanus, who was constantly attacking his kingdom. Poseidon had been fighting so hard, his strength had been deteriorated. However, Percy was able to convince Poseidon to come up from his kingdom and help defend Olympus, with Poseidon and his cyclopes aid in defeating Typhon and send him to Tartarus, effectively saving Olympus.
In the past two years since the battle of Olympus, Poseidon has seen things as mostly calm. Until recently he had begun to sense things where wrong, the same way he felt in the time leading up to the last war. Also the prayers from his Son Percy became more and more frequent not to mention bitter. He tried to get the other gods to see the severity of it all, but they didn't believe that the same thing could be happening all over again. Zeus told his brother to drop it, but Poseidon was sick of sitting on the sidelines until everything got bad like he had for centuries.
Not wanting anyone to know what he was up to, he left his Son Triton to watch over the seas and told everyone that he was going on holiday to reevaluate his priorities. That was exactly what he did. It was not to long after that, when Jack Turner appeared at camp half blood. A new son of Triton who was determined to see how much trouble the world was in again and finally answer his sons prayers, even if Percy didn't know he was doing it.
