His skin is the color of teakwood, and his dark wings glimmer in shades of blue, black, and purple.

In the book Thanatos appearance is described as lean and muscular, with a regal face, honey gold eyes, and black hair flowing down his shoulders. With Thanatos free any enemy dead would now stay dead. Frank used his life line to free Thanatos as only the flame of life could free him. Percy held off the minions of the Giant while Hazel fought Alcyoneus herself. When the three found Thanatos he was chained up on the Hubbard Glacier. This allowed Gaea to take control over The Doors of Death and let monsters reform faster. Thanatos had been lured to Alaska and captured in icy chains by the Giant Alcyoneus which stopped him from using most of his abilities. In the book Percy Jackson, Hazel Levesque, and Frank Zhang were given a quest by Mars, the Roman God of War, to free Thanatos. His symbols are the Theta, Poppy, Butterfly, Sword, and inverted Torch.Īppearance in The Books (Spoilers for the Son of Neptune.) Thanatos' twin brother is Hypnos The God of Sleep. He is also the brother of Eris Goddess of Strife, Nemesis Goddess of Revenge and Balance, Apate Goddess of Deception, and Charon the Boatsman of the River Styx. Thanatos is the son of Nyx and Erebus, however in some myths Nyx is the only parent he has. However he is fiercely loyal to Hades and holds a good relationship with Ares as the god doesn't enjoy bloodshed with out death. In the Ancient Greek myths Thanatos was known to be merciless and indiscriminate, hating both Gods and Mortals. Thanatos Roman equivalent is named Mors, which literally translates to Death. Violent death fell under the domain of his blood thirsty sisters the Keres, spirits of disease and slaughter. His touch was gentle like that of his brother Hypnos. Thanatos is the Greek God or in some myths the personification (making him a Daemon) of non-violent death. Thanatos will claim all souls, for in Death everyone is equal and there is no fairness.
