Kronos (Percy Jackson and the Olympians)

Kronos is the main antagonist in the Disney+ series Percy Jackson and the Olympians. He is the Titan God of Time and is the father of all the gods, making him the grandfather of Percy Jackson.
==Background==
===Personality===
Kronos is a sinister, megalomaniacal being who has a strong hatred towards his progeny. He is devious, clever, and a master manipulator, despite his imprisonment. He seems to take great joy in seeing those suffer and has a slight sense of humor, albeit dark and cynical.
===Physical appearance===
So far, Kronos has only appeared in dreams in a very simple form, resembling a ragged, emaciated man and carries a lantern with him.
===Powers and abilities===
Kronos, like the other gods, is immortal and most likely has enhanced powers. He is also shown with the ability to mentally communicate with people through dreams and in people's heads. Being the Lord of Time implies he can control the flow of time itself.
==Role in the series==
===The Lightning Thief===
Many years ago, Kronos fathered numerous children that would become great gods in their own right. Worried that they would overthrow him, he proceeded to devour them to prevent their uprising. His son, Zeus, tricked him into eating a rock that caused him to vomit all his children back up. He was soon imprisoned in the Pit of Tartarus, located in the Underworld, where he has remained into modern times.
Kronos, having the ability to feed off of negative energy, managed to make contact with Luke Castellan, the son of Hermes. Sensing that he was angry at the gods, he fed into his hatred and hatched a scheme to help him escape his prison. Luke would steal Zeus' Master Bolt and pin the blame on Poseidon, or at least one of his forbidden offspring. That being Percy Jackson, whom Kronos would also taunt within his dreams.
Kronos would put his plan into motion, but it would ultimately end with Percy returning the Bolt to Zeus and him outing Luke as the real thief who fled Camp Half-Blood, still devoted to Kronos' cause. Despite Percy besting his plans, Kronos saw that there was potential for him to still be effective in his release and promised to see him someday soon.
==Trivia==
*Prior to Nick Boraine portraying him, Kronos was portrayed by Robert Knepper in the second live-action film, and Ryan Knowles (who also played Chiron, Poseidon, Hades, and Medusa) in the Broadway musical.
