About[]
Pegasus is best friends with Emily, the flame of Olympus. Pegasus has attitude, a sweet tooth, and shows strength in battle. He's head-and-shoulders above the other Olympians when it comes to sheer coolness.
Pegasus is the title integrationist in the Pegasus (series). He is the son of Neptune the god of the sea and the gorgon Medusa and the twin brother of Chrysaor.
History[]
Pegasus, along with his brother Chrysaor, was born from the neck of Medusa after she was beheaded by Neptune's son, Perseus.
The Flame of Olympus[]
Pegasus first makes his appearance in the prologue of The Flame of Olympus, where Paelen observes him gathered with the other Olympians, preparing to defend Olympus from an invading species called the Nirads. When the battle is lost and Pegasus is sent to Earth on a secret mission in order to reignite the Flame of Olympus, Paelen flies after him in an attempt to steal his bridle. Both are struck by Jupiter's lightning bolt and crash in New York City, Paelen hurtling into the streets below and Pegasus crashing onto an apartment roof.
Emily, a 13-year-old girl who has recently lost her mother, hears the noise and goes up to the roof to discover the huge winged stallion injured in her mother's rooftop rose garden. She seeks the help of a boy called Joel from school, who is big and strong and obsessed with mythology. Together, they do their best to nurse Pegasus back to help while keeping him a secret from everyone they know, including Emily's policeman father. However, the Nirads track Pegasus down before he is fully recovered, and suddenly Emily, Joel, and Pegasus are on the run.
Meanwhile, Paelen is sent to hospital, where blood tests reveal he is not human. He is then sent to the CRU (Central Research Unit) and is tested and interrogated and tortured in an attempt to make him give answers about what he is and where he is from. When Paelen refuses to answer, the CRU turns their sights on Pegasus and the two children with him.
Olympus at War Pegasus helps Emily to defeat the Gorgons when the Gorgon sisters, Euryale & Stheno, threaten to turn Emily's beloved Pegasus to stone if she doesn't use her powers to kill Jupiter so they can rule Olympus.
The New Olympians Pegasus journeys with Emily as they investigate the Olympian clones that the Central Research Unit (CRU) has made in attempt to create an army out of the clones of the Olympians.
Origins of Olympus When Emily discovers that she is part of the Xan race and she has the powers of one of the former Xan, Riza, a permanent portal is made to Xanadu. But then, Back on earth, archaeologists dig up a gold box containing a weapon that Jupiter's father, Saturn, made a long time ago in attempt to kill Jupiter and the Olympians, If Olympians are exposed to the weapon for long, they begin to age rapidly and then die, Pegasus travels with Emily back in time to when the war between the Titans and the Olympians is raging, Emily must find the weapon and destroy it before all the Olympians back in the future die from the weapon.

Appearance[]
Pegasus is described as a bright, glowing white stallion with large feathered wings, dark brown eyes and golden hooves. He is twice the size of a normal horse, as Emily discovered when they tried to find a correctly fitting harness for him at "O'Brian's Livery" in Pegasus and the Flame (The Flame of Olympus).
Personality[]
Pegasus is majestic and proud and yet fiercely loyal to his family and friends. Although we are not able to see exactly what he is saying for most of the books, he seems calm and friendly and teases Emily about her crush on Cupid in Pegasus and Olympus at War, and later laughs at her jealousy of Alexis the Sphinx. He loathes being called a horse and never hesitates to make it obvious, but is otherwise quite easy to get along with. However, even he can lose his temper sometimes, especially with some certain people or creatures - Tornado Warning being a good example. He loves chocolate ice cream.
Trivia[]
- When Emily becomes a full Xan and therefore gains the ability to understand Pegasus, she learns he calls her "my pet."
