Cupid

Cupid is the Olympian son of Venus. He helped Emily Jacobs and her friends free Steve Jacobs from a CRU facility. He used his charm on some CRU agents, and got them to help them free Steve. He was severely injured by the CRU, and later helped the Olympians try to defeat Stheno and Euryale.

Over time, Cupid became more adventurous, and he helped Emily free some of her friends from the CRU. He also helped Riza transport Rhean to Xanadu.

Pegasus and the Fight for Olympus
Cupid eavesdropped on Emily Jacobs, Paelen, Joel DeSilva and Pegasus when they were discussing going to Earth to rescue Emily's father from the CRU. He quickly started to annoy Emily's friends when he used his charm on Emily. Pegasus got infuriated, and forced Cupid to leave.

When Emily, Paelen, Joel and Pegasus left for Earth, Cupid followed them into the Solar Stream, partly to get away from the Nirads that were attacking Olympus, and partly to protect Emily. When they reached Earth, Pegasus sensed that Cupid was following them, and Paelen started attacking him to get him to go back to Olympus. Joel and Pegasus broke up the fight, and they tried to convince Cupid to go back to Olympus, but he refused, so they were forced to let him come with them. The five of them found where the CRU was keeping Steve, but the night was too cold for Emily and Joel, so Joel had the idea to go to the Haunted Forest Festival.

They all covered themselves in mud to disguise themselves as Olympian zombies, and then Cupid, Paelen and Joel went to the trailers to get some warm clothes. When they came back, they found four men trying to get Emily and Pegasus to leave the festival. When the men realized that they had stolen clothes from the trailers, they tried to call security, so Paelen and Cupid had to knock them unconscious and tie them up. After this, Cupid tried to get some food, but they didn't have any money, so he decided to enter the costume competition, as the reward was 200 dollars. When Cupid went up on the stage, he brought Emily with him and turned on his charm and exposed his wings, causing everyone in the crowd to go wild. However, Agent O was at the festival, and when he saw Emily, he tried to capture her. Cupid was seperated from her by the crowd, and the women in the crowd started tearing him apart, trying to get a piece of him. He eventually managed to get away from them, and flew off with Pegasus, Joel, Emily and Paelen.

The five of them landed at the Red Apple, and Paelen used his powers to get in and unlock the door. As the restaurant was abandoned, there was no heating or lights, so Cupid and Paelen got some wood, and Emily started a fire with her powers. Once they had light, Cupid showed Emily the damage that had been done to his body and wings, and Emily healed him fully. Cupid then apologized to all of them for being so careless and revealing their presence to the CRU. In the night, Paelen and Joel went shopping for clothes and food. In the morning, Cupid dressed in human clothes, and shared some donuts with Paelen.

While having breakfast, they decided that Paelen, Cupid and Joel would go back to the festival and capture some CRU agents to interrogate. On the way there, Cupid constantly complained about having to stuff his wings in his clothes so that nobody saw them. When they got there, Cupid distracted the agents, and while they were occupied, Joel and Paelen knocked them out. They drove back to the Red Apple with the agents, and when they got there, Pegasus told them that Earl Jenkins, the owner of the restaurant, came in and was startled by Emily, and accidentally shot her. She healed herself, and when she woke up, Cupid explained that the human in her had died when she sacrificed herself to save Olympus, and that she couldn't be harmed anymore.

When the agents, including Agent T, woke up, they refused to answer any questions that the Olympians asked them. They picked up a plank of wood each, and attacked the Olympians. When Cupid was hit by Agent T, he used his powers on them, and after some persuasion by Emily, he bent their minds to his will. The agents then answered every question they were asked, and told them exactly how to get into the CRU facility.

In the end, they decided that only Cupid, Paelen and Joel should go, so they put on the outfits that CRU agents wore, and drove to the facility. Cupid used his powers on the two guards that they encountered, and they made their way to where the CRU were keeping Steve. When they released him from his cell, Steve started attacking Agent T, until Joel managed to calm him down and get him to go with them. While they were making their way up to the surface, some of the dormant Nirads that the CRU had captured awoke, and began attacking everyone in the facility. The five of them made their way up the stairs, but ran into some Nirads, and Joel and Paelen used their Olympian Gold daggers to fight them. Joel was knocked out and taken away by one of the Nirads, and Cupid ordered Agent T to shoot the remaining ones. The bullets ricocheted off the Nirads, and one of them hit Steve in the chest. Paelen rushed outside of the facility to find Joel, but all he found was human blood, which led him to believe that Joel had been killed.

Paelen, Cupid and Agent T drove back to the Red Apple with Steve, as he was badly injured, but when they got there, they found that the entire restaurant had been burned down. Cupid ordered Agent T to keep driving past the Red Apple, so that they weren't seen, and Paelen and Cupid got out of the car to plan their next move. After a brief argument, they saw Earl being carried out on a stretcher by the CRU. Cupid ordered Agent T to commandeer the ambulance that he was being loaded on to. When they had the ambulance to themselves, they asked Earl what had happened. He told them that Nirads had attacked and taken Emily, and that she had lost control of her powers and burned down the Red Apple. He also told them that a winged boar had helped the Nirads, who they deduced to be Chrysaor.

Agent T treated Earl and Steve in the ambulance, and then he drove them, Paelen and Cupid to a hunting cabin that Earl suggested they go to before he passed out. When they got there, Agent T told them that Steve was too badly injured, and that he needed a doctor. Earl gave them the phone number of a doctor that he trusted, and Paelen and Cupid went into town to find a telephone, and also to get some sugary foods to get their strength back. They landed at what remanined of the Red Apple, and Paelen snuck into the rubble to retrieve his sandals. When he came out, there were CRU agents were waiting for him. Cupid came to his rescue, and threw large stones at the agents, causing them to panic. Once they had defeated the agents, the two of them then fled to a local supermarket.

At the supermarket, Cupid used his charm on a woman, and asked her where he could find a phone. She let him borrow her cellphone and dialled the doctor for him, however, it went straight to voicemail, so they couldn't reach the doctor. Paelen and Cupid then went shopping for any sugary things that they could find. After a bit, some children started following Cupid. He tried to shoo them away, but more and more came and surrounded him. When the two of them started eating the food before paying for it, a security guard came up to them and told them to stop. Cupid attacked him, stating that he was tired of being told what to do by humans, and the children who had been following him piled on top of the guard and told him to leave Cupid alone. Soon after this, CRU agents found them, including Agent O. Cupid and Paelen managed to convince them to let the children out of the supermarket before fighting. The two of them then charged at the CRU agents. Cupid was pinned down quickly, but Paelen threw tin cans at the agents, and Cupid gained control again. He then flew out of a window, with Paelen close behind him, however, there were CRU helicopters following them, and they shot Cupid out of the sky. He was severely injured and knocked unconscious on impact with the ground. The CRU would later use the blood that he left behind to make clones of him.

Cupid woke up when Paelen gave him nectar that he got from Olympus. Soon, he and Steve were healed by the nectar and ambrosia, and they both wanted to go with Joel and Chrysaor to the Nirad World to help defeat Stheno and Euryale. Before they left, Cupid told Agent T that Earl was his brother, and ordered him to look after him. When the five of them arrived at the Nirad World, they were greeted by Prince Toban, who told them that Stheno and Euryale were still sleeping. When Joel and Chrysaor had left for the palace, Cupid asked Toban why they had captured Diana and Apollo. He told them that they had both started attacking the Nirad villagers as soon as they arrived on their world, and that they had no choice but to bring them to the Gorgons.

Paelen, Cupid and Steve were brought to a Nirad's house, and were given a black goo-like substance to eat. Cupid gladly had it, and managed to get Paelen to have some to avoid offending their host. The three of them then decided to stage their capture, so that they could tell Emily that Jupiter was on his way with some Nirads, and that he had a plan. Steve and Cupid were taken to Stheno and Euryale, and Paelen used the distraction to sneak behind the cage that Queen Segan was being kept in.

When Jupiter was captured, Cupid was turned to stone by Euryale as a demonstration of their power. Once the Gorgons had been defeated, Emily turned Cupid back from stone.

Pegasus and the New Olympians
Cupid and some other winged Olympians flew in the sky with banners during the celebration of the closing of the first Olympian football match. When he spotted Emily, he asked her if she wanted to go for a flight with him, but she politely declined the offer.

Cupid went to Earth with the Olympians when the Big Three were going to destroy Earth.

Pegasus and the Origins of Olympus
Cupid was in Jupiter's palace talking to a centaur, and when he saw Emily walking by, he greeted her. While Cupid was distracted, Paelen stretched his hand out and yanked some of his feathers out. Paelen then flew up to the ceiling using his sandals, and Cupid couldn't get to him, as he wasn't allowed to fly indoors. Their fight was cut short when Juno appeared.

When the Olympians were affected by the Titan Weapon, Emily asked Cupid to fly to Alexis, and ask her to come to Xanadu, where they hoped that the effects of the weapon would be less. However, she refused to leave Tom, so Cupid told Emily what Alexis had said, and then he entered the queue for Xanadu.

Later, when his mother died from the Titan Weapon, Cupid slipped off into the jungle on Xanadu, and presumably died in that timeline.

Pegasus and the Rise of the Titans
When Emily used too much of her powers and became weak, Cupid checked the Flame shard in the Temple of the Flame, and reported back that it was sputtering and weak.

Pegasus and the End of Olympus
Cupid was connected to Arious and presumably learning about the Xan, when Emily came into the room. Arious disconnected with Cupid, and Emily asked him where Riza was. Arious told her that Riza was on a different planet, transporting the inhabitants of a planet that's sun had gone supernova to Xanadu. Emily told Arious that she had looked in Urania's magical pool and seen Agent B, Stella, Earl and Frankie in the custody of the CRU. Cupid offered to go with her to rescue them despite Arious warning them against it. Cupid then told Arious to release his counterpart Arious Minor, and convinced him to come with them to rescue their friends.

The three of them emerged high in the sky on Earth, and Cupid lead them into an empty house. They stole some clothes so that they would blend in, and left Cupid's golden belt as payment to the owner of the house. When they were ready to leave, they flew to London, and made their way into Charing's Cross. Cupid suggested that Pegasus stay behind, as the corridors were extremely narrow, but he insisted that he went with them. They eventually managed to get into the CRU facility, but they walked right into a trap, and Emily and Cupid were knocked unconscious by gas.

They were put in the same cell that their friends were in, and when Cupid woke up, he told the CRU agents that Emily had died in the Diamond Head volcano, as they didn't recognize her due to her change of body. When Emily woke up, Arious told her to go along with Cupid's story, and to pretend to be his wife, Psyche. All of them, including Earl, Frankie, Stella and Agent B soon broke out of the cell, and they tried to use the elevator to get back up to the surface. However, the Mutant Titans controlled the elevator, and brought the group down to the level that they were on. They were detained by Shadow Titans after a brief fight, and were brought to the Mutant Titans. The mutants told them that they had founded the CRU so that they could feed and break free from Earth, and then they gave everyone there the memories of the Titan War from all of their perspectives. After this, one of the Mutant Titans levitated Emily into his mouth, and began to digest her. She managed to use the Solar Stream Jewel ring that Riza gave her to teleport her, Pegasus, Stella, Agent B and Cupid to Riza.

They were transported to Rhean, the planet that's sun had gone supernova, and Emily was healed by Riza. However, she was unable to transport them to Olympus, as it was taking all of her power to protect the Rheans from their sun's rays, so they decided to help her evacuate everyone to Xanadu. Shortly into the process, Riza and Emily both sensed Lorin's death at the hands of the Mutant Titans, who now had the power to escape from Charing's Cross and enter the Solar Stream. Riza realized that there wasn't enough time to evacuate all of the Rheans to Xanadu, as they had to stop the Mutant Titans, so she linked every creature together, and attempted to transport the whole planet to Xanadu. Riza wasn't powerful enough, however, so Emily had to use her powers to stop Rhean at Xanadu before it reached the end of the Solar Stream and was obliterated.

Rhean arrived in orbit around Xanadu, and Cupid, Emily, Riza, Pegasus, Stella and Agent B were transported down into the Temple of Arious. Paelen and Joel arrived, and Joel offered to help Emily, who was unconscious along with Riza, but Cupid refused his help, and insulted him because of how he had treated Emily recently. Emily and Riza were healed by Arious, and after Emily had woken up, she told everyone about her plan to convince the Titans to help them defeat the Mutant Titans. Cupid didn't like the plan, but he agreed with it, and went to Olympus with everyone else when they were going to ask Jupiter if he approved of the plan. He went to get his mother, Venus, and carried her into the Solar Stream, presumably to Xanadu.

Powers

 * Charm: Cupid is able to make anyone fall in love with him. At first he believed that this power couldn't be reversed, but that was proved false, as the effects eventually wore off in Tom's case. Cupid can use his charm to make anyone do whatever he tells them to, but he has shown a great dislike for using it on men. He used this power to get Agent T and two other CRU agents to help him and his friends break Steve Jacobs out of a CRU facility.
 * Immortality: Cupid is immortal, and therefore cannot be killed by conventional means.
 * Flight: Cupid is capable of flight using his wings, however, if they're damaged, he won't be able to fly.
 * Solar Stream navigation: By flying extremely fast, Cupid can enter the Solar Stream and navigate it.
 * Enhanced strength: Cupid is extremely strong. He's at least as strong as Paelen, if not more.
 * Cold resistance: Cupid is resistant to cold temperatures, as shown when he was on Earth and Emily and Joel were freezing, but he was unaffected.
 * Enhanced vision: Cupid was able to see in the pitch black dark of the Red Apple, while Emily Jacobs and Joel DeSilva could see nothing.

Weaknesses

 * Olympian weaknesses: Cupid inherits general Olympian weaknesses.
 * Ambrosia and nectar deprivation: If Cupid doesn't consume ambrosia and nectar frequently, he'll become extremely vulnerable. Sugary foods work, but aren't very effective. This weakness was shown when he was severely injured by the CRU's helicopters, but once he had nectar and ambrosia, he healed quickly.
 * Titan Weapon: When exposed to the Titan Weapon, Cupid will age rapidly. Eventually, the feathers on his wings will fall off, and he won't be able to fly anymore.
