Blackjack is a pegasus from the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, and the Heroes of Olympus series. He helps Percy many times during the series and, aside from Percy, appears on the most book covers. Because Percy can speak with horses (his dad is the son of Poseidon) he can communicate with Percy. Percy rescued him from Luke's boat between two of the books.

History

Blackjack was once a prisoner on the Titan Kronos' army ship, Princess Andromeda until Percy released him indirectly. Percy said someone really needed to wash his mouth out with soap because of the names he was calling Luke Castellan. Percy mistook him for a mare in The Sea of Monsters. Blackjack promised assistance when in need of gratitude for rescuing him.

Personality and Traits

Blackjack has a highly informal personality. Although he is willing to serve Percy, he calls Percy "boss" rather than "Lord," as well as once calling Dionysus "the wine dude", much to the latter's annoyance. Blackjack has two best friends, Guido and Porkpie, who are also pegasi. Blackjack is extremely loyal to Percy and shows a personality as being able to be loyal to anyone who proves their worth. He is seen as a friend for Percy when Annabeth is lost in The Titan's Curse, and is said to, "probably run himself into the ground before saying he's tired" when he's carrying Percy. Despite his initial dislike of Nico (due to him "smelling like dead people"), Blackjack eventually warms up to the son of Hades and has no qualms about having Nico ride him in The Blood of Olympus. Blackjack is also quite compassionate, comforting Reyna when things seemed hopeless to her.
