Looks::
Zeus usually appears very weathered and wise. His face - unlike many - bares the wrinkles of time. He has golden brown hair that he wears long enough so he can tuck it behind his ears but not long enough that it touches his collar. Often times it is rather messy, he doesn't have time to bother with his hair while he is on Olympus. He is a fan of facial hair, he often wears a full beard. He happens to find his brother Hades' ridiculous though. His eyes are hawk like and as blue as the midday sky. Zeus has a rather large build, toned and imposing. True to his age, he most often wears his Greek battle armor.
As the King of the Gods he can't just walk around completely unnoticed and so, he took on the persona of Tyler James. As Tyler he has similar disheveled golden brown hair - though a little darker - and hawk like blue eyes. Though the expression is a little more reckless then normal. He stands a little bit taller but not quite as built. Unlike his older counter part the only signs of age on his face are laugh lines, yes he laughs. Sometimes.
Personality::
Zeus is mostly known for his bad attributes. The fact that he is extremely proud and convinced that he has no superior only being a few. He is extremely well known for being temperamental and extremely stubborn. Holding grudges is also synonymous with his name. He is also a very jealous man. He completely disregards all rules and is a firm believer that everyone should respect him and he should always get what he wants, when he wants it.
Despite this, he is not all bad. Zeus is plays a key role on Olympus, he is the one who maintains order and justice. Though his idea of justice is a little out dated, it always works out in the end. He in many ways in the great peacekeeper, plagued with the tasks of making sure that godly feuds don't get too out of hand. Most importantly though, he has to maintain order in the world, which clearly makes him a little edgy.

History::
Zeus was doomed long before he was born. His father Kronos feared a prophecy which said that his children would over throw him and so, he ate his first five children. But when Zeus was born his mother fed Kronos a rock instead of a baby. In the years following, until manhood, Zeus was hidden on Mount Ida. When the time came and he was old enough, he managed to get Kronos to regurgitate his siblings and the Cyclops with the help of his grandmother Gaia. Thankful for what he did the Cyclops' gifted Zeus the master bolt and soon after the First Titan War began. With the help of his family, the cyclops and some titans he over threw his father and tossed him into Tartarus.
Following the war Zeus and his brothers each took a domain to claim as their own. Hades got the Underworld, Poseidon the sea and Zeus the sky. It was at this time that he took the title of King of the Gods. Determined to build up his kingdom Zeus did the one thing he was extremely good at. He began to have immortal children, twenty six in fact. His children proved to be so powerful that in due time eight of them joined him as Olympians. Immortals weren't the only ones he wooed, mortals soon peaked his interest too.
Soon demi-god children of big three began to pop up all over the world and the ultimate showdown came with Word War II. Following the war Zeus and his brothers swore an oath on the River Styx to have no more children. Not long after that he fell for a Hollywood starlet and she gave birth to his daughter Thalia Grace. Zeus's past caught up to him. Hades - upset that Zeus killed Maria di Angelo in attempt to kill Nico and Biana - sent monsters after Thalia as she ventured to camp with Grover, Annabeth and Luke. It was there that Thalia made her last stand. As she lay dying Zeus took pity on his daughter and made her the guardian of Camp Half-Blood so Hades couldn't have her soul. After the incident with Thalia, Zeus made sure nobody found out about his second slip up. Around the time he had met Ms. Grace he had also met a pilot named Kathleen Hawthorn who he fell rather hard for. She gave birth to his first son in a long time, Nicholia. Like Thalia he had been careful to protect him, but after she died Zeus shielded him from the gods completely.
About five years later things started to get messy again. The master bolt went missing and Zeus was quick to blame Poseidon. That was about the time the thorn in his side Percy Jackson showed up. Zeus was rather embarrassed when he learned Percy wasn't really the thief but it was in fact Luke. Angered by being wrong he threatened Percy to stay out of the sky.
In the years after that Percy Jackson showed up a lot on Olympus. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Thalia could barely stand him Zeus probably would have voted against saving him. But when the time came Zeus voted in favor of Percy's survival and he still can't figure out exactly why.
Things finally began to crumble when Typhoon was disturbed and Kronos was able to for an entirely new army with the help of Luke Castellan. The Olympians with the help of the demi-gods fought off the new army. If not for Poseidon -which he will never admit- Olympus may very well have fallen that day. Fortunately it did not and the King of the Gods retained his throne.
It had been rather quiet since the Second Titan War but rumors started to circulate. News reached Zeus of an uprising with Phobos and Deimos. In the mindset for another battle things hit rock bottom when he received the news his brother was going on vacation. Not at all reassured Zeus let it go until someone caught his attention. Convinced that his brother was parading around Camp Half-Blood as a demi-god Zeus decided to join him. But with a completely different motive in mind.
