As the Senior Scribe of Camp Half Blood it is his duty to record the exploits of heroes for posterity.

Before becoming a Scribe
Riordan was born on June 5th 1964 in San Antonio, Texas. He graduated from Alamo Heights High School, and first attended the music program at North Texas State, wanting to be a guitar player. He transferred to the University of Texas in Austin and studied English and History he received his teaching certification in those subjects from the University of Texas in San Antonio.

Rick married Becky Riordan, originally from the East Coast, on June 5, 1985. Prior to being inducted into the Scribe Society, Riordan wrote the Tres Nevaras series, a series of mystery novels for adult readers.

Career as the Senior Scribe
Because of the secretive nature of the Scribe Society little is known about his early career as a member of the Scribe Society.

In 2005 Rick Riordan interviewed a 12 year old Percy Jackson about his adventure returning the Master Bolt and then translated that narrative into the book "The Lightning Thief" which he published as the first book in the "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" series.

2010, Giant War and the Kane Chronicles
The 2nd Giant war lasted between December 2009 and August 2010. In December 2009 (the same month that Leo, Jason, and Piper went on their first adventure) Rick Riordan was contacted by the Kane Siblings and given an audio recording of their first adventure.

From this point onward, Rick Riordan would always be working on multiple projects at once. As a result he was no longer able to get books completed in "real time".

In March 2010 a transcript of the Kane Siblings original message was published as the "Red Pyramid" soon afterwards the Kane Siblings contacted him again telling him about their most recent adventure. The Lost Hero wouldn't be published until October 2010, which was 2 months after the 2nd Giant War ended.

2011-2016
The remaining adventures of the Heroes of Olympus would be published in 4 separate volumes over the next 4 years. In 2013, the Senior Scribe of Valhalla was assassinated and Rick Riordan had to take over his duties chronicling the adventures of Magnus Chase.

Trivia
