    In “The Last Olympian”, Triton who is shown as arrogant, and cold towards Percy Jackson is also caring yet possessive. He seems to doubt humans as they are seen as manipulative. But, he is controlling, as he manipulated Jason and the Argo’s crew into giving him the tripod. It seems that human and merman used the power of manipulation when they want to achieve something. Manipulation seems to be one of the greatest power used by humans and gods. Triton just like every father cares and loves his children.

Not only was his tail well-maintained with fish oil, his fingers were the most webbed and his voice the most enchanting. He was probably distantly related to a Siren somewhere along the line, for he could certainly draw her in when he sung. Best of all, he listened to her. Gripping the seaweed nearest…
