Robin Reeves

"I like him. Can't get a damn word out of the guy, but I like him."

- Annabeth Chase describes Robin Robin Reeves is the demigod son of Howard Reeves and Khione, the Greek Goddess of Snow.

Early life
"Loneliness grows like a weed, Thalia. And there were so many weeds in Robin's garden that they nearly strangled him - most of these weeds, of course, belonged to his father."

- Chiron talks about Robin's childhood Robin Reeves was born on December 1st, 1995. He was raised by his father Howard, a man who worked full-time as a fireman. Never truly aware that his son was a demigod, Howard never took a great deal of notice in Robin, as evidenced by the several girlfriends that he took on throughout the boy's childhood - Robin joked that there was a new woman in his house for every season of the year. He settled eventually with a police officer named Lily Francis-Theron, with whom they had three other sons and Robin consequently had three new brothers. To his amazement, Lily proved extremely kind and nurturing towards Robin almost as equally as her own sons, which he took as a blessing from God. Robin worked in the homicide department in St. Cloud, but she was around a great deal more than Howard was, for which Robin would grow to resent him. In addition, Robin's brothers were forever withdrawn from him, put off by the fact that they always felt especially cold around him. This resonated throughout Robin's early years, since children were too scared to socialise with him for fear that they would freeze. He had no friends in kindergarten, or for the first two years at school, and thus found better company in his stepmother.

When he was ten years old, his true mother visited him for the very first time - Khione was persuaded to properly meet her son for once by her father Boreas. At school, he was close friends with a girl named Melanie Kirk, but their relationship attracted the attention of bullies - when they were alone, some bullies took Melanie from him and challenged him to fight to get her back. Robin tried, and because he was so thin and scrawny, he failed and was brutally beaten. Khione appeared and told him to 'unleash winter upon them'. Inexplicably persuaded by his mother's voice, Robin unlocked his powers for the first time and inflicted a terrible cold wind upon the bullies, mortally freezing two of them and frightening the others. He also accidentally affected Melanie, whom he cradled as she collapsed. As a result, he protected her unintentionally from the cold and managed to warm her into surviving. He never saw the bullies ever again, and one of them reportedly died of pneumonia shortly afterwards. Nobody ever suspected what he had done, but Robin knew in his heart that it was his fault. Robin encountered his first monster when he was nine - he was menaced and attacked by a Hellhound which chased him through a park and into a woodland, where he fell into a ditch. The Hellhound chased after him and drowned in the ditch, but Robin survived and used the dead monster as a makeshift boat to support himself back to land. There, starving and terrified, Robin collapsed and was found later by a group of hikers who thought he had died. His stepmother took care of him while his father was away with work, and for the first time his brothers openly showed that they cared for him by staying beside his bed until he recovered. However, his father never showed any sympathy for him, viewing him as a fool who had almost got himself killed running wild in the woods. From that moment on, Robin would always hate his father and hold him in disregard for how little he showed compassion for him. He focused on strengthening his relationship with his brothers, which actually started to improve afterwards because he became less withdrawn and quiet and more social.

He never did particularly well in school because of his dyslexia, but he excelled in history. The teachers recognised his intelligence, but knew that his dyslexia held him back completely. He never had any friends at school, would always be the outcast, but for the most part he was happy. He did fine in physical education, but not exceptionally, and found most sports extraneous and sometimes even boring. He swam extremely well and was never fatigued by cold. However, the bullies never stopped coming for him - he gained the name Robin Whitebreast as a joke about how pale his hair was, and try as he might he could never dye his hair without it shifting immediately back to its original colour. He is implied to have encountered several monsters in the past, including a young manticore which had been nesting in the basement of his house, but he would always instinctively tap into his powers without knowing it and deal with the monsters. His mother began to realise that he was not normal, but his father barely paid any attention to it. Whenever a monster attacked him, Howard would spend the night rowing with his son about whose fault it was, and Howard never believed the stories his son told him. On his eleventh birthday, Robin received a present from Khione anonymously - an iPhone which, he soon learned, transformed into a sword. He hid that particular factor from everyone, but began to practise independently for fun whenever he was alone. He met a demigod named Charles Beckendorf three days later, who explained to him the person he was and what he was capable of. Within minutes of that conversation, they were attacked by a sphinx and Charles was injured, but Robin used the sword to fight off the monster, impressing Charles. The sphinx pursued them across St Cloud when Charles offered to take him to Camp Half-Blood.

The Necklace
"Hail Robin Reeves, son of Khione, Goddess of Snow."

- Robin is claimed After having to contend with the sphinx once, Robin and Charles are menaced by the creature throughout their journey to New York. Charles' wounds mean that they have to lay low for a while and Robin learns more about demigods from him - he learns that he has certain powers and that these powers come with a price that he will be hunted by those who mean to do the gods harm. Robin is motivated by this to keep on going to Camp Half-Blood, even after his stepmother declares a manhunt for him (since he disappeared without a trace from their home). Robin and Charles finally reach New York, where the sphinx attacks them at full strength. Robin battles the sphinx and kills it in front of Charles, impressing him so much that he is convinced Robin is a son of Athena or Demeter, since Robin rules out all of the male gods for having a biological father. Reaching Half-Blood Hill, another monster entirely confronts them - a dragon. The dragon burns many trees as it pursues them, and Robin is too scared to fight it off, and too exhausted to run. They are saved when Chiron himself arrives and gives him a dose of nectar. Robin's strength renewed, he faces the dragon and summons a violent windstorm that scares the beast away. Robin is presumed to be a son of Zeus because of this, before it is identified that cryokinesis on the scale to which Robin uses it is impossible for a son of Zeus.

While Robin recovers from the fight, his claiming is awaited by Chiron, but for the time being he remains in the Hermes Cabin. There, he met and befriended Ethan Nakamura, another unclaimed demigod, and the two of them bonded over having apparently disappointing fathers. Ethan and Robin became inseparable, and taught one another how to fight. It was often remarked that while Robin was always on the defensive, Ethan was always on the offensive, but such positions changed whenever they sparred. Robin neglected to use his sword and stuck to the same kind of sword that Ethan used to even the odds. Ethan remained unclaimed throughout his entire life, but soon enough Robin would be offered a quest while Percy Jackson was away on his quest for the Master Bolt. He would be sent on a quest to Ogygia in return for being claimed. Robin chose to take Ethan with him, and Charles as well. On the way, he meets Nemesis, who reveals herself to be Ethan's mother, and Nemesis offers them an easy passage in return for the retrieval of a necklace from a monster's lair. Entering the monster's lair, it is revealed to be the nest of a gigantic serpent which attacks the trio. Ethan fights off the serpent and Robin manages to kill it, while Charles retrieves the necklace from the nest. The serpent regenerates and spews a horde of smaller snakes, and Robin tries to fight them off while the others escape. He is bitten and receives violent hallucinations of falling to his death from an extraordinary height during a thunderstorm, only to be dragged out of the lair by Ethan, who collapses the tunnel they escaped through to stop the snakes. Robin develops a terror towards snakes as a result of this encounter, which Nemesis recognises. She shows them the necklace and explains that, for as long as they have the necklace, the three of them shall always remain akin to brothers, and the way ahead shall always be clear to them. Robin receives a dream about Ogygia in a thunderstorm, and later sees Grand Central Station. They head to the station, where a train is prepared for them by a mysterious stranger who reveals himself to be Morpheus. Morpheus offers to remove his nightmares if he takes off the necklace. Robin moves to take off the necklace, but Ethan stops him, citing that he doesn't know if they can trust Morpheus, to which Robin reminds him that he didn't say as much about Nemesis, silencing Ethan. However, he keeps the necklace on, and Morpheus offers them the train anyway - he tells them, however, that he would have transported them there instantaneously if the necklace had been removed.

Robin, Charles and Ethan suffer intense nightmares on the train as a result of their defiance of Morpheus' request, and Robin pictures the three of them dying - in flames, in storms, in the depths of the sea, or fighting against a great shadowy force. Recovering from the nightmares, they realise that the train has crashed into a huge ocean, only for a young girl to rip through the train and drag the three of them to the shore. She introduces herself as Calypso, the daughter of Atlas and the sole occupant of Ogygia. Realising that it is her that the quest revolved around, Robin asks further about Calypso and learns that the gods trapped her there for her being the daughter of a Titan. Calypso becomes hostile towards him when his questions persist, and Charles calms them down. Ethan becomes fascinated in Calypso, while Robin finds her attractive - Ethan seems only fascinated in the mistreatment she receives, causing Calypso to become more violent towards him than either of the others. Robin asks what they want, and Calypso notices the necklace, telling him that she wants the necklace. Robin demands to know the significance of the necklace, and she tells him that it is the Key to Tartarus, and that anyone can enter Tartarus and bring anything back with them.

Beginning to understand why Morpheus wanted the necklace, and why Nemesis wanted to give it to them, Robin takes the Key and throws it into the ocean, knowing that it will be irretrievable to anyone because the Titans will never be able to enter Ogygia while the gods are in power, and Calypso ensuring so herself with her own powers. Upon doing this, Robin is visited in her dreams by Kronos, who persuades her to try and find it again and to make Calypso help her, but Robin refuses him. Upon waking up, Nemesis visits the island and takes them back from Ogygia, but Robin is enraged when the revenge goddess doesn't even give Calypso another glance. He argues with Nemesis over this when they return to Camp Half-Blood, and Ethan defends his mother. Nemesis silences everyone by revealing that Khione is Robin's mother, causing Khione to claim her. Robin is elated to know who his mother is, but sees that it doesn't make that much of a difference because he has to stay in the Hermes Cabin - Khione doesn't have a cabin of her own.

Robin is present when news of Luke Castellan's betrayal reaches camp, and is upset because he liked Luke, but he doesn't feel any personal connection towards the son of Hermes, having barely known him in the logn run.

The Lotus Casino
"I don't know, my lord Tantalus, why I don't like you, sir...maybe because you're a total pile of sphinx mess!"

- Robin insults Tantalus Even though Robin has accomplished one quest on his own, he still remains confused, angry and dominantly disappointed with himself, believing there was more that he could have done than make a simple decision. He and Ethan continue to train, but Ethan has become uneasy himself and even violent towards other demigods, which Robin has to deal with. He refuses to return to the mortal world and continues to train at camp, desperate for another quest. He also begins to experiment with his powers more, recognising that he would have to improve his powers in order to triumph noticeably in his next quest. His fear of snakes is made a popular prank at camp, and a snake is found in his bed some nights. Chiron puts a stop to it, but his colleague and nephew Dionysus enjoys it, as a result of his hatred of demigods. Robin is among those who is injured in one of the many attacks by monsters as a result of the weakening of Thalia's Tree. When the Colchis Bulls arrive, Robin joins Clarisse in battling them. During the skirmish between the campers and the bulls, Robin's ice powers are ineffective against the excruciatingly heated monsters, which Robin interprets as him not being powerful enough. He fights with vigour and fervour throughout the engagement, but it is only after Percy Jackson arrives that the bulls are finally defeated. Percy takes note of young Robin's passion in combat, but recognises that he is far too careless and could be blindsided by one of the bulls. He treats Tyson with respect, knowing what it is like to be an outsider, but is cowed when Tantalus arrives and replaces Chiron, who is under suspicion of being behind Thalia's poisoning. Robin hates Tantalus and makes an immediate enemy of him when he refuses to melt ice with his powers so that Tantalus can drink. Dionysus takes special pleasure in tormenting Robin as an unclaimed director, and Tantalus believes that Robin has hair and a face like a girl, but Percy notes that Robin is much harder than he looks to take Tantalus' taunts the way he does. When the Stymphalian birds attack a chariot race, Robin is injured but is carried by Ethan to safety. He realises that Tantalus cares little for them, even less than he truly shows, and decides to train in private with Ethan. They spar every night and Ethan proves to be somewhat better than Robin this time, but the latter notices that it is because of Ethan's internal anger. Dionysus brings the two of them together at one point and states his own awareness that they have been training. He sends them away on a 'training exercise' to the Lotus Hotel and Casino, where he hopes to keep them out of the way of Tantalus for an undisclosed reason.

Before they leave, Tantalus confronts Robin for leaving and an argument breaks out in which Tantalus threatens to have Robin sent to the Underworld. Robin challenges Tantalus by telling him, if he can pick up a hamburger and take a bite out of it, then Robin will allow himself to be sent there. Tantalus takes offence and demands to know why Robin doesn't respect him, to which Robin repeatedly insults him. Incensed by the argument, Tantalus attacks Robin, but Dionysus breaks up the fight and distracts Tantalus by making him fetch a hot dog through the forest, while Robin and Ethan leave. On the way, they encounter the Fates and witness them cut a thread in front of them, which Robin fears may mean that Dionysus has sent them to their deaths. After meeting the Fates, Robin and Ethan are set upon by Laistrygonian Giants, and Ethan kills several of them in a violent rage, horrifying Robin. More giants appear and the two of them fight them off extensively until they are interrupted by Demeter, who strangles the giants with gigantic wheat chains. Demeter asks after Robin's brothers, which catches him off guard, especially when it is revealed that his father, stepmother and brothers are trapped there. Robin is motivated to go after them at once, but only after Demeter asks him to go in without a sword or she will make sure that he fails. Robin goes in alone, leaving his sword with Ethan.

Appearance
Robin is described as, in his own right, an amazingly handsome, almost beautiful young man, with smooth, long pale blonde hair that he always combs at length. He is described multiple times to have a cool, reserved smile on him, which Percy describes to be ' as if the sun was always shining on his face, even when he wasn't smiling, and making him look like a god among men '. He is almost as tall as Annabeth Chase at the start of the series, but is always described as being shorter than Percy Jackson by at least an inch. Thalia Grace stated that Robin's face was like 'the winter was trying to hide the face of the summer with cold and ice, but in the eyes you could see the sun ', suggesting that she finds him strangely attractive. Robin's eyes are described to be mesmerisingly beautiful, an icy shade of violet. Robin speaks always like his inner self is smiling, even when he is angry, it is as if he wants to smile. When he is sad, which happens very often, his face is described to shrink in on itself and he looks somewhat skeletal. He is complimented by Katie Gardiner to have the looks of a Disney prince, but the voice and smile of a Disney villain.
