Archived:Arthur Williams

“''Even as a child, I have preferred night to day, I've enjoyed sitting out in the yard after sunset, under the star-speckled sky listening to frogs and crickets. Darkness soothed. It softened the sharp edges of the world, toned down the too-harsh colors. With the coming of twilight, the sky seemed to recede; the universe expanded. The night was bigger than the day, and in its realm, life seemed to have more possibilities''.”

- Arthur about his past life

Vanessa Williams is a successful woman. She is an artist, actress and a singer. In 1998, she filmed a Movie called Dance with Me, which lured Astraeus. He took the appearance of a young man and at the night after the premiere, Arthur was conceived. Astraeus was with Vanessa for nine months. Arthur was born on December 25th 1998 in New York. Astraeus told Vanessa that he is actually a god and that he needs to get back at Olympus. Vanessa had a breakdown and has tried to kill Arthur, but Astraeus stopped her. She thought that if she kept trying, Astraeus will keep coming back, but he didn't. She realised that the risk was too big and stopped doing it.

However, Astraeus didn't trust her. He sent one of the nymphs from the camp to keep a closer look at Vanessa. Her name was Emily. Thanks to the mist, Emily looked like an ordinary woman. Due the fact that Vanessa was a busy woman, she needed a nany. Emily moved in Vanessa's mansion and became Arthur's nany. Vanessa decided to hide Arthur from the publicity. Emily knew that he was a demigod and a child of Astraeus. Thus, she excerped his music talent. At the age of three, he was able to memorize easy kid songs and sing them like a professional. Then Astraeus contacted her. He told Emily that she should try to teach him a forein launguage, french to be more precise. Due Arthur's excellent memory, he was able to memorize the basic words and was capable of making simple sentences. His dyslexia didn't stop him from learning french and he decided it won't stop him in anything, anytime. He became determinated. Vanessa was proud of him, but was still hiding him from the media.

At the age of six, Arthur got registered at primary school. He was an excellent pupil and he caught everyone's attention due the fact that he was interested in constellations and space. Luckily, no one figured out that he was a demigod. Suddenly, at the age of six he lost the interest for constellations what-so-ever, but he became obsessed with guitars. He started to get tutored by an unknown man. The man said he has a natural talent for the guitar, as well for singing. He suggested that he starts making covers for old songs, such as The Beatles' songs. Arthur asked Vanessa, but she refused angrily. Also, she fired the man and has confiscated Arthur's guitar. Vanesa thought that she was protecting him that way.Unlike other demigods, Arthur didn't have much problems with school. He didn't made any incidents and was just like any other normal child. For his tenth birthday he got a gold star shaped good luck charm from Vanessa. She told him that it was special and as long as he had it, nothing bad would happen to him. He listened to her and always carried it around in his pocket. At the age of eleven, Vanessa bought Arthur a Gibson Guitar which he played almost all the time.

Arthur reached thirteen and things drasticly changed. One day, he was in a park and a wild Dracanae appeared out of nowhere and has started to chase him. As the beast was three feet behind him, he hit it with his guitar, but nothing happened. Since he wasn't able to defeat it, he decided to outsmart it. He ran and was hoping that a car would hit it and it happened, but nothing happened. He was still running, but the Dracanae was a lot faster then him and was slowly catching up with him. After 30 seconds, the Dracanae was 10 meters away behind him. He realised it was futile to run and decided to battle it with his own fists. He put his hands forwards, trying to protect himself but a beam of plasma was shot from his hands. However, it didn't hurt Dracanae much, but it scared it. The Dracanae ran away in fear. Arthur came home and told Emily what has happened to him. She quickly packed his stuff and told him that they need to hurry before other monsters come. Emily left Vanessa a note that said that they left at the camp due the fact that Arthur got attacked by a monster. They took Vanessa's car and headed towards Camp Half-Blood.

Natural Abilities
Trilinguality: Arthur is capable of speaking english (his mother tongue), greek (like every greek demigod) and french (taught to him by his nany). This ability has been shown to be very helpful when he was dueling a demigod who could read Artrhur's mind (he didn't understand it).

High Intellect:  Arthur has an IQ of 122 and he has shown as a great strategist. However, his tactics aren't always successfull and there's a 29% chance that the tactic will fail.

After breaking his first bow, he decited to create his "unique" bow, with special design. It is a golden standard recurve bow with little star ornaments on it's body. Alongside bow, his quiver is also specially designed for him, with the same star ornaments over it.
