His muscles are visible, but not buldging; instead, they are smooth and toned. He has an eight pack abbs, and has large hands and long limbs, and a long torso. His cheek bones are highere on his face, and they are visible, he has slightly longer, prodominent chin. His skin is an light, tan, olive tone. His eyes are a strange color and seem to lack pupils. They are ringed with a bronze color, and are gradient from yellow-orange to goldenrod. He has a tattoo on his left bicep of the Greek letters "alpha" and "omega" intertwined (like this). And his hair is natrually wavey, but Kos hates it like that, so he straightens it.

Stories: Last of the Oath

Personality
Kostantinos is very serious, and always follows the rules and almost always the things people ask him to do/orders people give him, seeing as it is in his Myrmidon nature to do so. He rarely smiles, and feels weird doing so; but he's not a mean person; in fact, Kos is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, but first you need to get him to open up. His unfailingly loyal to his friends, loyal to a fault. He loves his family, but they annoy him constantly, and he tries to "rebel" in his own little ways. Like by straightening his hair (He's Greek, so it's natrually wavey, and his parents/family like it that way) and getting a tattoo. His family is a bit, bosterious, so that's why he is so serious and quiet. Kos is a little, oblivious when it comes to romantic things... Okay, he's completely oblivious when it comes to romantic things and has no clue that a few girls at Camp Half-Blood have crushes on him, or that his best friend, Emery, also harbors quite a crush on him. It is quiet amusing to watch people flirt with Kos, seeing as he totally shuts down socially when they do, and he does/says the most awkward things. His biggest falts are an unyelding loyaly and having trouble saying no or disobeying even if it's the right thing to do. And he's somewhat afraid of Zeus, and lightning and thunder makes him nervious, also due to Zeus. He also fears Hades, and being used by others; which he is sometimes, and he hates it; though due to his nature, he almost can't help but do the things people tell him to do.

Past
While a myrmidon who has been trained in combat, his family is fairly normal. He has two older sisters, one who teaches history at a highschool, and another who was once a counselor at Camp Half-Blood but is now married and works with her husband. He became a Seeker/keeper when Chiron (trainer of heroes, who works at the camp) saw the boys potential as a warrior and the fierce loyalty he would display if given a task. He was trained and assigned as a Keeper and once he met Emery, has been specifically assigned as her Keeper. He is the one who brought her safely to Camp Half-Blood. Since then, the two have never been far apart for long, and Kostantinos finally began to realize just how he felt about Emery when she told him that she had feelings for him.

Family
Kostantinos has a huge family, that can be descriebed as his "big, fat Greek family". But these are the relatives he sees the most.

Parents- Kostantinos likes his parents, and he knows they love him and are very proud of him. However, they tend to be a bit pushy, like Greek parents tend to be. He finds most of his family to be loud and annoying anyway, but he loves them all.

Sisters- Kos is really close with his older sister (who's the middle child in their family) Anastasia. She actually teaches world/ancient history at a junior high in New York. She actually got Kos and Emery in her class once. They are very close, even though Anastasia is much the opposite of her younger brother. She likes to tease him a bit... Anastasia is a favorite among students. Her classes are fun, especially when she brings in real Greek armor and weapons and other things, and especially when she makes her brother dress up in the armor! Much to his dislike... But besides that annoying habit of hers, Kos is closer to Anastasia than any other of his family. Kos doesn't really dislike his older sister, Crysanthe, but he isn't close with her at all. She's a bit of a nag and a bossy older sister at times. She also recently got married, so he doesn't see her as often as he used to.

Aunts- Kos has two aunts, Aunt Georgia and aunt Nikoleta (Nikki) who are constantly nagging him about his weight. Aunt Georgia says he's too skinny, and needs to eat more, while aunt Nikki says he's too fat, and needs to cut down on the food. As you can imagine, this gets on Kostantinos' nerves.

Friends
Emery Noire- Emery is Kostantinoses best friend and is one of the most important people in her life. And she is the same for him. While he started out as just Emery's Keeper (yeah, I know usually satyrs are, but Kos is a special case xD), he soon found himself growing fond of the demigod. The two are extremely close, and Kos would do absolutely anything for her. While it took him quite some time, Kos has began to understand that the romantic feelings Emery harbors for him are mutual.

Percy- Percy and Kostantinos do get along. They don't fight, and they have a mutual respect for each other. Percy looks up to Kostantinos, but is also a bit afraid of him. Percy's seen Kos's strength and fighting prowess in action, and reckons Kos could could make him into a stain on the ground if they ever really fought. Or a pile of diced demigod. But Kos would never really hurt Percy.

Tyson- Kostantinos likes Tyson quite a bit. He very much respects Tyson's ability at weapon making and his strength. While sometimes his child-like behavior annoys Kostantinos, and it took a bit for him to trust Tyson due to him being a cyclops, Kos does respect Tyson.

Chiron- Kostantinos's family is actually friends with Chiron. So therefore Kos is too. He admires Chiron and deeply respects him. He was taught by Chiron as well, in the ways of fighting and warfare.

Charles Beckendorf- Kos gets along very well with Charles. He finds Beckendorf to be extremely talented and strong, and thinks he's one of the most level-headed people he knows. They met each other at Camp when they were younger. The two could be seen even talking to each other once and awhile, though both are men of few words. Even the serious, stern Kos was pretty shaken up over his death.

Annabeth- Like Emery, Kos is not too fond of Annabeth. While he doesn't fight with her, he does not aprove of the way she treats Emery. He does respect her wisdom and knowledge, and her mother Athena.

Grover- Kostantinos scares poor Grover. Kos doesn't seem to mind Grover. That's kind of their relationship.

Hobbies, Abilities, Magic Items/Weapons
He likes reading, cars, motorcycles, some sports, learning about ancient history, travel, weapons, and cooking. He likes music too, and tends to like alternative music and even classical music. His favorite bands are The Foo Fighters, Gorillaz, MONORAL, Pearl Jam, Interpol, The Strokes, and Chopin. Ha ha. And Emery started to get him liking a few Lady Gaga songs. And 30 Seconds to Mars... and basically all the bands she likes.

Abilities
Quick Reflexes, Keen Senses, Increased Strength, High Dexterity, Increased Stamina. Kos also can enter a stage, "Myrmidon Mode", as I like to call it, where all of his already heightened senses become better, and he becomes faster, stronger, and so on. Though he loses his sense of person, and becomes a cold, pitiless fighting machine that takes orders from what he recognizes as his leader/superior without question. In this state, he gets fangs (hey, ants have like, fangy pincer things as jaws), the whites of his eyes become black, and his iris (he has no visible pupils) becomes blood red, and his nails become a bit claw like. he has no sense of mercy, and will cut down anything he feels like he has to/is ordered to. Kos can also command ants... yeah yeah, stupid, but his people were once ant-people.

(**I don't think Myrmidons actually HAD all these powers, but I kind of took my own spin on them. Like they were feared as some of the most powerful warriors because of the strange trance/form they went into. But the legends don't mention it explicitly)

Sword
Kostantinos has a sword that he calls " πιστός" which reads "pistos" (means "loyal" in Greek). It looks like a hoplite sword, which is what heavily armored soldiers used in Ancient Greece. It is disguised as a permament marker and it works like Percy's sword riptide. i.e. It becomes a sword made of celestial when uncapped, changes back to a marker when capped, returns to Kos's pocket when thrown, dropped or lost... etc.
