Luke Castellan | Rick Riordan (2024)

FAQs

What did Luke Castellan do to Percy Jackson? ›

Grover and Percy remember their very first quest five years ago when Luke cursed the shoes into dragging Percy into Tartarus with Zeus' Master Bolt, but ended up dragging the satyr instead. Percy mentions that Grover is a bit traumatized from the experience, but it's still because of him that Luke's attempt was foiled.

From the book, you get the sense that Luke liked Thalia in a romantic way. He even says he likes her, and that one look from her blue eyes can get him to do anything (ie. Using his talent for locks even though he hates it).

All the unclaimed. Don't let it . . . Don't let it happen again Luke's last words. Luke Castellan is the central antagonist of the book series Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan.

Character background

Luke first came to Camp Half-Blood when he was 14, alongside Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus, and Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena. Luke has a scar on his face, a relic from his battle with the dragon Ladon, guardian of the Garden of Hesperides, while on a quest.

Luke refers to Annabeth as a "sister," and she seems to view him in a similar light. It's possible she simply isn't discussing her feelings with Percy and Grover, but her brief interactions with Luke haven't shown any of the awkwardness that typically accompanies teenage crushes.

During their conversation, Percy realizes that Luke is the missing piece from his prophesy: the betrayal of a friend. Luke felt deceived by the gods for sending him on a pity quest—one that had already been previously fulfilled by Hercules.

Charles Beckendorf! First off, out of all the side characters in the whole series, Beckendorf are one of the few characters that liked Percy and was rather a noticeable character consistently through the entire series. Beckendorf even died a hero, which is a huge salute to this guy.

Luke's fatal flaw, which causes the events of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, is his excessive wrath, which is aimed towards the gods for their treatment of their children. Thalia's is ambition - the desire for power. It almost leads her to call the ophiotaurus and join the Titans in the Titan's Curse.

Also he was under Kronos' control and he was trying to resist and take back his body but he couldn't so he sacrificed himself which makes him a hero. Even if he did betray everyone and commit all those crimes in the end he still came through.

How old is Luke in Percy Jackson and the Olympians? Charlie Bushnell's Luke Castellan is 19 years old in Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Bushnell's Luke Castellan being 19 years old makes him seven years older than Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and Grover Underwood.

Why did Hermes blame Annabeth for Luke? ›

Hermes blamed Annabeth for not preventing Luke from turning evil.

He was one of the main antagonists of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. He was tricked by the Titan Kronos into hosting his spirit. Although he is considered as the series' main human antagonist, he died at age twenty-three as the hero of the Great Prophecy.

Luke Castellan: His fatal flaw was his excessive wrath. He was unable to forgive his father Hermes for what he had been through. Luke's anger blinded him so much that he went against his closest friends. By the time he realized it, it was too late and Luke ended up sacrificing himself.

Grover walks with crutches and is barely shown running in the movie, except when he was running away from Medusa and the Minotaur. Percy discovers Luke's betrayal at Camp Half-Blood and nearly dies due to the scorpion sting from Luke's scorpion.

Instead of making Luke one of Percy and Annabeth's preteen peers, the series wisely keeps the characters' age-gap intact: unlike the Percy Jackson-aged Walker Scobell, Bushnell is 19 years old, making Luke something of an older brother figure to Percy and the other campers.

What does Luke reveal to Percy? What is Percy's reaction? Luke reveals that he is the Lightning Thief, he is working for Kronos, and he is agains the Gods. Percy reacts by saying he is being brain-washed and Percy is really surprised.
