At this point, Nico became obsessed with Mythomagic, a card game. They were brought to a military school called Westover Hall, paid for by Hades using what Nico and Bianca thought to be a trust fund left to them by their parents. Alecto drove Nico and Bianca back east, through D.C., and then up into Maine. Once again disguised as a lawyer, Alecto had Nico and Bianca leave the boarding school, and took them all the way to the Lotus Hotel, in Las Vegas.Īfter what the siblings thought was a month in the Lotus Hotel (which turned out to be 70 years), they were taken out by Alecto, this time disguised as a different lawyer. After some time had passed, Hades, hoping that one of his children might one day become the "child of the Eldest Gods" (referred to in the Great Prophecy), decided to place them in the Lotus Hotel and Casino, and tasked Alecto with the job. In The Blood of Olympus, Nico sees a brief flashback from this time - his sister Bianca, laughing as she pulled him across the National Mall. Meanwhile, Bianca familiarized herself with the city's subway system. During this time, Nico and Bianca were enrolled in a boarding school. This "lawyer" would come by once in a while to check on both of them. In The Titan's Curse, Bianca says that she and Nico had no memories of their mortal parent and told by a lawyer ( Alecto in disguise), in Washington D.C., that their parents were dead, and had left a bank trust for them. This later caused him to send monsters to attack and try to kill Thalia Grace, Zeus' daughter. The lord of the dead also swore revenge on Zeus. However, they were protected by Hades as he erected an impenetrable wall of black energy to shield them from Zeus' bolts, but Hades was not able to protect their mother in time.Īfterward, a devastated Hades ordered the Fury Alecto to take Nico and Bianca to the Underworld and bathe them in the River Lethe, in order to wipe away their memories and told her to give their mom the Ancient rites. Their mother, Maria, died when Zeus struck the hotel they were staying in with lightning in an attempt to kill the siblings, thinking they were too dangerous. Nico had a warm relationship with his mother, as he remembers her smiling down at him while they both walked by the Venetian Grand Canal.Īt some point near the beginning of World War II, Nico and his family left Italy for the United States, where they stayed at a fancy hotel in Washington, D.C.

Hades did make appearances in the household, in fear that the other gods would notice that he had a son and a daughter.Īs a child, Nico was obsessed with pirates and the game Mythomagic, which he would later be introduced to Percy Jackson in The Titan's Curse. He was raised in a conservative catholic home. Nico di Angelo was born around 1932 on January 28th in Venice, Italy, before World War II (before Hades and his brothers took an oath to have no more demigod children) to Hades and Maria di Angelo, their second child together, the first being his older sister Bianca di Angelo. 4.3 Journey through Tartarus and Europe.
