Kronos's Legion

An army led by Kronos seeking to overthrow the Olympian gods.

Kronos's Legion served as the primary antagonist force during the Second Titan War, driven by the goal of overthrowing the Olympian gods and ruling in their place. Led by Kronos, the defeated King of the Titans, this army sought to reclaim their power. The series follows the protagonist, Percy Jackson, a young demigod who must stop this invasion. Unlike previous conflicts, this war was characterized by the Titans rising again with a specific plan to reclaim their power.

Lore & Background

The Legion's rise began when Luke Castellan, son of Hermes, stole Zeus's Master Bolt on Kronos's orders. Ares, manipulated by Kronos, helped cover up Luke's crime to instigate a war between the Olympians. This force was not just monsters; it included demigods who fell under Kronos's influence. The threat grew as Percy Jackson realized he could contribute to either the gods' downfall or preservation. The Legion's campaign culminated in an attempt to overthrow Olympus, forcing a final confrontation where the fate of the gods hung in the balance.
