Character from Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan
An Egyptian magician who hosts the war god Horus — he and his sister Sadie discovered that Egyptian mythology is real and the gods need human hosts.
Carter is the Kane Chronicles' protagonist — a kid who traveled the world with his Egyptologist father and discovered that his family's connection to Egyptian pharaohs was literal, not historical. He hosted Horus the war god, channeling divine power through his own body, fought Apophis the chaos serpent across two continents, and crossed over with Percy Jackson in short stories that confirmed all mythologies coexist in the Riordanverse. He's studious, serious, and carries the weight of ancient Egyptian tradition on teenage shoulders with more grace than most adults could manage.
African-American with close-cropped hair, wearing linen magician's robes over modern clothes. He carries a khopesh (curved Egyptian sword) and an ankh amulet.
