History:

Sarah Mcallister was a window cleaner. She made a living in the big city of New York. Every day she would hitch herself onto one of the massive skyscrapers and gradually move downwards, cleaning each window with care. She loved how clean the air was on top of one of the skyscrapers, and enjoyed the weightless feeling she had while up in the air.

The wind god, Aeolus, sensed this, and would often watch her as she went about her work. Her love for the air touched his heart.

Then one day, there was an accident, and Sarah Webster fell. Her harness was worn thin with the years of work, and down she plunged.

Aeolus was pained to see her fall to her death, as he had grown fond of her. He summoned the winds, and caught her, and carried her to the bottom of the building, in a secluded alley. The Mist covered it up to make it look like she landed safely in a dumpster.

Once Sarah processed that she was alive, Aeolus introduced himself, but didnt tell her who he truly was. They cared for  each other instantly, and began dating that night, with things escalating very quickly.

They slept together, with Aeolus disappearing early the next morning. Sarah, although pained to see her lover leave her alone so unceremoniously, pulled herself together and got back to work.

Aeolus next visited his beloved Sarah when she found out with a shock that she was pregnant a few weeks later. Aeolus consoled her and told her everything. At first, she didnt believe it, but after a while it made sense. The fact that he was a god only made her love him even more. Aeolus spent the night with Sarah again, as he wanted to be with his to - be son for a little while longer before he had to leave. When Sarah awoke, she found out she was alone once more, with Aeolus no where to be seen. He had only left a letter, explaining everything once more, and including a map to Camp Half Blood, and insisting that the baby be called Endymion.

A roughly 9 months later, Endymion Mcallister was born.

Endymion was brought up with a little more than nothing. Somehow, though, there was always just enough to eat. Sarah was very particular, and always made sure Endymion looked clean and presentable at all times, despite them being so poor. His mother was always working on weekdays, but would always take the weekend off to be with Endymion. She loved her son, and thought he deserved better.

One day, when Endymion was 7,  Sarah sat her son down and tried to tell him his ancestry and what he really was. She saw how innocent he was, and couldn't bear to tell him that he was condemned to a life of fear and mystery. She new that as he got older, he would have to learn how to fight and defend himself from monsters, but she wanted to protect her only son. She ended up not telling him what he really was, and instead told him this: If there was ever a problem, he was to go into her room and open the third drawer to the left of her closet. There, he would find a map, a sealed letter, and a list of instructions. He was to follow them precisely.

Endymion blindly nodded, not fully understanding what his mother was telling him, but being as young as he was, listened all the same.

Life went on like this for quite a while. Endymion was later diagnosed with dislexia and ADHD, but he was a hard worker, and so this didn't hinder him much. As he got older, he started to work after school to earn a little more money, to help his mom. He did odd jobs, like mowing peoples lawns, shoveling their driveways, and other small tasks after school.

When Endymion reached the age of 14, the unthinkable happened.

He was walking home from school when he heard a horrible screaching sound behind him. He turned around and saw a horrible creature with the body of a bird and the head of an old hag. It was a Harpie. Endymion froze up as the Harpie screached again and flew with amazing speed towards him, claws outstreached.

Unknowinly, Endymion summoned the winds and sent the harpie spiriling into a nearby tree, immediatly dissintegrating.

Scared and confused, Endymion ran, heading for his house. After a while he ditched his backpack, as it was slowing him down. He arrived at the house, nearly barreling through the door. He found his mother there, and told her everything. She told him to go into her room and grab everything in the secret drawer, and then to meet her in the car. She said that it was time for him to go, and that she should have done this sooner.

To panicked and confused to ask what she meant, he ran to his mothers room and located the secret drawer. He grabbed everything in the drawer and ran out of the house and onto the sidewalk. He read the instructions.

He ran out into the driveway and jumped into the car. His mom had already started the car, and they set of right away. Endymion handed her the contents of the drawer, but she only took the map to the mysterious Camp. She told him to keep the envelope and the instructions. The instructions detailed how to get to Camp Half Blood.

They were going to Camp Half-Blood.

3 hours had passed since they started following the map. He was now in a meadow, approaching a forest. It was then that suddenly, they were there. His mom told him to walk through the gates, and that she could not follow. Bewildered by curiosity and the excitment of starting a new chapter in his life, he did as he was told.

Endymion was assigned to sleep in the Hermes Cabin that night, his head spinning with camp introductions and descriptions.

When he awoke, after breakfast, he was given a tour of the camp. He was particularly interested in the Forges, and spent most of his day there, learning how to forge different things. He loved how there were so many possibilities of creation in one sheet of metal and a hammer.

In the afternoon he was paired of with a boy from the Athena cabin, who taught him Greek, and spent the rest of the afternoon back in the forges. After dinner, he joined in capture the flag as best as he could, although he wasn't of much use since the sword he had felt heavy and bulky in his hand.

the next days at Camp Half Blood were generally like this for him. He made his own weapons and armor in the forges, (Since the camp weapons were to awkward and heavy) and spent most of his extra time training with the swords and armor he made.

Then one day, it happened.

His 15th Birthday had now come and gone. He had now been at camp for about 1.5 weeks, and was getting use to its daily life. Be had been  fighting with one of the other campers when a glowing unclasped bag with air blowing out of it appeared on top of his head. It was the sign of Aeolus. A handful of the sparing campers around him stopped there training and starred. He had been finally claimed.

Weapons and Armor: 

Endymion operates regularly using only his celestial bronze breastplate, his sword (Gale) and his hidden blade, all weapons he taught himself to make utilizing the camp forges.
