In Rick's Norse series, which comes out in 2015, there's a character named Magnus Chase. Not a coincidence. Related to Annabeth?

[MOVED - CHECK BIO, Head Camper ~ "Bob says hello."]

Announced on 9/23/14, Rick revealed the title of his Norse series, Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard. Magnus Chase. First up, THAT'S A FREAKING AWESOME NAME. I LOVE IT. Second, Chase is Annabeth's last name. Rick posted on his blog that, no, it is not a coincidence.

Theories, anyone?

I think he might be introducted slightly in BoO and is a distant cousin of Annabeth.

[MOVED - CHECK BIO, Head Camper ~ "Bob says hello."]

I've heard the cousin theory and I think that it's probably correct, b/c I doubt that it's her son or brother.
I doubt that he'll be introduced in BoO. I think this because he will be in a Norse series, and HoO is Greek and Roman.

(wow, you are everywhere)

I agree.

[Allison]

Dun dun dun!!!!

I think maybe he's her brother.....does it mention her brother's names anywhere in the books?!

I think so? Not quite sure.

[MOVED - CHECK BIO, Head Camper ~ "Bob says hello."]

I read Blood of Olympus, then I read that Rick had confirmed that he'd put a hint in it about how Magnus is related to Annabeth.

I then squealed like a squirrel.

I think that Percy and Annabeth take Annabeth's surname when they get married and have a kid! XD

[MOVED - CHECK BIO, Head Camper ~ "Bob says hello."]

I actually did consider that theory, at first. Trying to figure out how Magnus is related to Annabeth drove me insane.

[||Queen of The Cookies||Anti-Cupid||]

lol where does he leave the hint BoO?! I gotta know!

[||Queen of The Cookies||Anti-Cupid||]

Wait, what is Annabeth's dad's first name again?

[MOVED - CHECK BIO, Head Camper ~ "Bob says hello."]

When Percy, Annabeth, and Piper are underground before they attack the giants. Piper asks about their families.

[||Queen of The Cookies||Anti-Cupid||]

oh I'ma check on that!!

[MOVED - CHECK BIO, Head Camper ~ "Bob says hello."]

Go for it. :)

[❄️saki❄️]

but she didn't say any thing about their names.

[❄️saki❄️]

She just talked about how she never had that much time with them

I know how they're related!!! :)

It does in Titan's Curse. When they go to Annabeth's mortal home and ask her dad for help.

They mostly call him Mr Chase but when his wife scolds himfor not asking the guests' name's Mrs Chase calls him Freddie. It might've been spelt differently though. maybe. I dunno.

If you don't tell me I will internet stalk you, find where you live and strangle you till you tell me. (Not really). But seriously, tell me.

[||Queen of The Cookies||Anti-Cupid||]

They're cousins, I just looked it up

[Zoe]

I knew it! Even though it might not be right, that's what I thought from he beggining.

[[deleted user]]

Yeah, they're cousins!

[Zoe]

I wonder if it's frombthr mortal side. Or some SUPER complicated ring on the godly side. But probably mortal cause annabeth and other demigods have to take heir mortal parents surnames.

[||Queen of The Cookies||Anti-Cupid||]

Well it could be a godly connection, but we'll see i guess.

[MOVED - CHECK BIO, Head Camper ~ "Bob says hello."]

I personally don't think it could be a godly connection. PJO and HoO center around Greek and Roman gods/mythology. Magnus Chase circles around Norwegian. Unless the gods' family tree is more screwed up than I know, which highly possible because Greek mythology is....weird, I believe Magnus is one of the relatives Annabeth has that they never talk about.

[Greta]

if you read the Kane chronicles, you'll know that Rome and that stuff exists in it.maybe this is just a whole new world

[Leah-Marie]

Isn't Magnus mentioned in BoO?

[MOVED - CHECK BIO, Head Camper ~ "Bob says hello."]

Not by name.

[Zoe]

Not by name... but something else???

[MOVED - CHECK BIO, Head Camper ~ "Bob says hello."]

There was a reference to him. She has a family in Red Sox territory, as Percy put it, that her family doesn't really talk about.

[Amna]

But in the summary, it says his father is a norse god and his mother died and he lives on the streets.

(Click The Sword of Summer to read whole summary)

do you guys think annabeth's father is a retired viking god or something (then no wonder annabeth is so powerful)

[MOVED - CHECK BIO, Head Camper ~ "Bob says hello."]

I believe that Mr. Chase is many things (awesome, maybe a little crazy), but he's not a viking. He might have a brother/sister who has something to do with Norse gods, or Annabeth's mother might have a brother/sister that has to do with it.

I hope Thor is in the book :D but isn't the next Thor movie about Ragnarok as well?

[MOVED - CHECK BIO, Head Camper ~ "Bob says hello."]

I believe so. At least, Ragnarok is in the title, so it will have something to do with it, though Marvel may twist the myth a bit.

[[deleted user]]

Marvel normally does, but I don't know about this series, I read thr Percy Jackson books from when they started coming out so i kinda grew up with him, and I'm gonna really miss Percy :(

[Celia]

Yeah, I feel like this person is going to be Annabeth's cousin or something...

What if this person is like, Annabeth's brother or something? Maybe her step-mom had another child with a Norse god, and something bad happened, and that's why she was so scared of when she was younger?

Idk, kinda just a random theory.

[Zoe]

nah. They're cousins.

[[deleted user]]

I definitely think they are going to be related in some kinda way.

[[deleted user]]

I think Annabeths dad has a brother and that brother got married to a woman and then they got divorced but she came the surname and then she had a child with a Norse God, so then they aren't blood related but they still have the same surname.

[Zoe]

Is this like on the internet of just a personal theory?

[[deleted user]]

Personal theory :D hence the "I think"

[Zoe]

Well, yeah but you could've heard multiple online theories and decided that was the most likely, also hencing the 'i think'. But that is definitely a possibility.
