Pierce

Pierce is a casual love interest in the book Rage of the Titans.

## About Pierce

Pierce is a wealthy man living in New York.

He first appears when Andrea goes to the Underworld club where he approaches her to find out what happened to her brother Tom. As it turns out, Pierce works with the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He brought some new items to New York for an exhibit and wanted Tom, who is doing research about Greek mythology, to find out more about these art pieces. When Tom disappears, Pierce turns to Andrea and they continue to cross paths over the course of the story.

Later, it is revealed that Pierce is Iapetus, one of the Titans, and that they were locked up in Tartarus, a deep abyss in the actual Underworld. Thanks to a deal with Hades, his mind got out and linked to the body of a half-blood god, one of Zeus' sons. They started calling themselves *the keepers* while others called them the *new gods*, and made it their goal to guide humans in order to prevent humanity from destroying itself.

Piece has no problem using goons like Sybil and Sky to put pressure on Andrea and her friends. He also recruited Jason, another half-blood he saved from a violent life at an orphanage, and showed him his true potential. Jason was supposed to keep an eye on Andrea and the others by pretending to be a normal high school student, but after meeting Poseidon and finding out that his mind was linked to Poseidon's son, Jason starts to question his relationship with Pierce.

## Romance path

Contrary to the main Love Interests in this story, there are no relationship prompts with Pierce. In order to get his one-night stand scene, the player has to be on the **Path of High Influence** ⭐️, which can be achieved by following the walkthroughts carefully.

**S2 Ep6**

* Tell me.
* (Give in to the temptation.) (💎33) (Sex scene)

## Possible endings

Pierce is one of the characters that can die or survive, depending on the player's choices. In S3, Ep9 he comes to Andrea's aid and is hurt by Cronus who asks her what she would give to save him. The option "Give everything..." requires **55 Influence** ⭐️ points and gives the prompt (**Thanks to your choice, Iapetus will live.)**. If that option is not picked, Piece/Iapetus will die.

Provided that he survives, Andrea has the chance to join Piece's new gods or continue supporting the Olypians. If she ends up on the **Humanity** 🌞 path and is still single at the end of Season 3, she can choose ""I'll return to devine matters." and will meet Pierce before unlocking a CG with her own divine reflection.
