In the fifth grade, Percy accidentally fired a war cannon, which hit the school bus when he was on a field trip at the Saratoga Battlefield. When he was in fourth grade on a trip to an aquarium, he accidentally hit the wrong lever on the catwalk when his school was visiting the Sea World Shark Pool and made his class take an "unplanned swim," However, nobody believed Percy when he said that the man had just one big eye. When he was in third grade, a large man followed Percy around when he was at school, but by threatening to call the police, the teachers eventually got the man to leave. It is said in The Blood of Olympus that Percy has been kicked out of several military academies where they believed that paddling is good for the soul. Many people bullied him during his childhood, while others, such as his second stepfather, Paul Blofis, suspected something was wrong with Percy and that he couldn't be normal.
Strange things often happened around Percy, such as school buses exploding and aquariums flooding, which often resulted in his getting into trouble: he was kicked out of more than six schools over the course of six years. Percy nicknamed him "Smelly Gabe," since he smelled like “moldy garlic pizza wrapped in gym shorts." Gabe spent much of his time playing poker with his friends. However, Percy despised Gabe, as Gabe would frequently bully Percy and abuse his mother. With Percy being a son of one of the Big Three, Percy’s scent would be even stronger than other demigods. Monsters are attracted to the scent of demigods - the more powerful the demigod, the stronger the scent.
Sometime while Percy was a toddler, Sally married Gabe Ugliano, hoping his horrible smell would mask her son from the monsters that would hunt him. As Percy grew older, his mother would tell him that his father had been “lost at sea," never confirming whether he was dead or alive.
Percy was left only with vague memories of his father looking over him in his cradle, remembering a warm smile, a hand on his head, and a "golden glow." At some point while still a baby, Percy was attacked by a snake but managed to strangle it to death, just like the famous Roman demigod Hercules. As the most powerful Olympians, children of the Big Three wield incredible power, and are seen as too dangerous to be brought into existence. In Percy's case, Poseidon left to protect him and his mother from Zeus, who would have been angered to discover that his brother broke the oath - a pact made by Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, also known as the Big Three - to avoid having any more demigod children. When Percy was still an infant, his father Poseidon left, as is usual of the gods, leaving Sally to raise Percy on her own. He was named after the famous Greek hero Perseus by his mother for good luck because his namesake was one of the few heroes who had a happy ending and died a peaceful death. Perseus "Percy" Jackson was born on August 18th, to Poseidon, the Greek god of the seas, storms, and the creator of horses, and Sally Jackson, a mortal who could see through the Mist. 16.1 Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.11 The Sun and the Star: A Nico di Angelo Adventure.7 Percy Jackson and the Chalice of the Gods.3.1 Percy Jackson and the Singer of Apollo.2.5.3 Percy Jackson and the Sword of Hades.2.5.2 Percy Jackson and the Bronze Dragon.2.5.1 Percy Jackson and the Stolen Chariot.
