Mortal Parent: Adrian Eliade

Appearance: 6'2" tall, muscular, usually wears dark colors, always carries Twilight Vengeance, which is usually in it's sheath on his back.

Personality: He is very polite and kind, due to his upbringing. He hates injustice, and will fight if he must to uphold it. He is also protective of Camp Half-Blood. If there is a threat to camp, you can count on Sorin to protect it with his life.

History: Nyx fell in love with Adrien Eliade, a retired explorer who lived in Athens, Greece. After having thier son, Sorin, Nyx stayed for a year or so, to take care of the baby, but also to tell Adrien the truth about who she really was. Adrien, a kind and understanding man, who had always secrectly believed in the greek myths anyway, so was sympathetic to her. He asked her simply to always love him, and to help him protect thier son. Nyx agreed, and left after a few days, having Hephaestus help her forge a sword out of pure darkness, Twilight Vengeance. Returning, Nyx handed the blade to Adrien, telling him how she loved him and that the sword would be thier connection to each other. Adrien agreed and watched Nyx as she went back to where she came.

Adrien raised Sorin well, teaching him the values of love, respect, and kindness, as well as helping him when his powers emerged at around four. But Sorin's life changed the night he turned seven. Being a demigod, he had often attracted monsters, but Adrien had always protected him. He had even made a little safe room for Sorin to hide in when the monsters came. But that night it was different. The Minotaur attacked, and Adrien wasn't able to beat it. He was killed. Since it couldn't find Sorin, the Minotaur left. Sorin soon found his father dead, and angirly vowed to kill the monster that killed his father. Taking his father's sword, Sorin searched for two days for the Minotaur. He finally found it in an alley, and foolishly attacked it. But Sorin was only seven, and in seconds the Minotaur had him, and was about to kill him. But death wouldn't come for Sorin that day. An older demigod, having seen the Minotaur and following it, launched arrows at it and killed it. Introducing herself as Miya, a daughter of Aphrodite, she asked Sorin why he had attacked such a powerful monster. Sorin told her how it had killed his father and how he vowed revenge.

Miya told Sorin that she knew a special place where he could be free from monsters, a place called Camp Half-Blood, in America. She agreed she could take him there, though she told him she had to go over land instead of a plane. Long ago she had insulted Zeus, and he had not forgotten. Also, she had to stop at Rome, where her little sister Angie was. Miya wanted Angie to go to Camp Half-Blood too. Sorin agreed, and started to follow Miya.

For a year, Miya and Sorin traveled north and then east through many countries to get to Rome. As they traveled, Sorin was unable to resist the love magic that Miya naturally had, and he soon had a huge crush on her. He was only eight, she was twenty.

Finally, they made it to Rome, where Sorin met Miya's family, Angie and her mother June. He then learned of thier next destination, Lisbon in Portugal, where they would take a ship to America. Miya then asked Angie and Sorin to explore the city, as she wanted some privacy with her mother June. Sorin left, and while he explored he brought flowers and a picture in order to impress Miya. But disaster struck. While Sorin and Angie were away, Zeus hurled a lightning bolt at the house, destroying it and killing Miya and June. When Sorin came back, he was devastated. Not bothering to look for Angie, he ran to the nearest airport, and tried to sneak on to a plane leading to America to get to camp.

A flight attendant pretended to help him, being a harpy who wanted to eat him, and helped him sneak onto a plane. However; the plane was headed for Russia, not America. At Russia, after Sorin killed the harpy when it attacked him, he began to wander west, knowing that was the way to Lisbon. For a year he travelled through Russia, Belarus, Poland, and finally Germany.

In Germany, a satanic cult, led by a demigod who worshipped Tartarus and Gaea, captured him. Using hypnotism he learned and his powers as a child of Mnemosyne, the evil demigod leader, Allen, was able to manipulate Sorin's memories, making him think he was a part of the cult for his whole life, and erasing any memories of Sorin's past. For years Sorin served the cult faithfully, up to the age of fifteen. The cult had finally been able to contact Gaea, who taught them of a ritual that would release a Titan from Tartarus. However, they needed to sacrifice a demigod girl with a pure heart. Allen decided to let Sorin do the pleasure, and at thier makeshift altar, where the girl was tied up, Sorin raised his blade. But when he saw the girl's face, he was finally freed from Allen's control.

The girl they were sacrificing was no one else but Angie, Miya's little sister! His memories all coming back, Sorin turned on all the cultists, and killed Allen, while the rest fled. Freeing Angie, she told him of her story.

She had come to the remains of the house right after Sorin fled. Not knowing what to do, she was caught by Italian police and forced to stay at a brutal orphanage for two years. Finally running away, she had been in Germany looking for someone to take her to Camp Half-Blood, untill Allen's henchmen caught her.

Agreeing to help each other reach Lisbon and ultimately Camp Half-Blood, they travelled west. It was a hard journey. Gaea was angry at them for ruining the ritual, and sent all kinds of monsters at them. For two years Sorin and Angie evaded and fought through monsters Gaea threw at them, even a giant Earthborn near Madrid. Through all the hardships, a love developed between the two, and soon they loved each other. But thier love was not to last.

They finally reached Portugal, and soon they were in the city of Lisbon. But as they were looking for the harbour, Angie was kidnapped, and Sorin chased her captors into a trap in the Lisbon countryside, as well as being too late. He was surrounded by numerous monsters, who jeeringly showed him Angie's corpse, already half-eaten. Riasing his sword in rage, Sorin prepared to fight to the death.

Meanwhile, in Olympus, Nyx begged Zeus to let her save her son. For years Zeus refused, as he had been angry at Miya's family, and angry that Sorin had helped ease thier pain from his anger. But as he watched Sorin prepare to die, his lover dead, Zeus' eyes softened. Believing Sorin had been through enough, Zeus finally allowed Nyx to save her son.

Nyx rushed down to save her son. Telling him to look away, Nyx turned into her immortal form, instantly disintergrating all the monsters. Sorin looked at Nyx, and realizing it was his mother, cried into her arms. Nyx comforted him, saying his journey made him strong and brave, and that those who died would be remembered. She then went with him onto the ship to America, at last.

AT New York, Nyx led Sorin the the bottom of Half-Blood Hill. Telling him to look up and see the new constellation when he was on top of the hill, and that she loved him, Nyx left. At the top of the hill, Sorin looked up at the new constellation, it was a man and two women holding out thier hands. Nyx's voice echoed in his mind with two words, the name of the new constellation.

"οικογένεια" "Family"

Looking down at the camp that he had tried for so long to finally get to, Sorin took a deep breath

"I'm finally home"
