YOU FOUND THE MAGIC QUESTION!!!

What character first appears in chapter 14, "My Brother Duels me to the Death", of The Battle of the Labyrinth (book 4 in the series Percy Jackson and the Olympians), and for a bonus, what is their first line?

ANSWER: Ethan Nakamura, a son of Nemesis who duels Percy in the arena in that chapter, trying to prove himself worthy of joining the Titan Army.

BONUS ANSWER: "Ethan Nakamura. I have to kill you."

EXTRA INFORMATION: Ethan is described as being about Percy's age, maybe a bit older (presumably 15-16 at his first appearance, 16-17 at death), and having black hair, along with an eyepatch that he obtained by trading his eye to his mother in exchange for a chance to someday right the world. ("An eye for an eye. You ever hear that saying?" -Ethan Nakamura, chapter 15 of BOTL.) In "My Brother Duels me to the Death", Ethan is wearing a fair amount of (too big) armour and a horse-feather helmet, said to be "dressed for defense", and this contributes to his loss against Percy in the arena, as he tires more easily with the extra weight than Percy does. Ethan joins Percy, Annabeth, Rachel, and Nico in running away from the arena after Percy's victory, but refuses to join them, insisting on following Luke's cause instead. Ethan was the last demigod to join Kronos' cause (in chapter 16 of BOTL, "I Open a Coffin"), proclaiming "I renounce the gods! What have they ever done for me?" Percy tries to get Ethan to stop, but the other demigod is dedicated to his 'duty' of righting the world's wrongs ("I am the son of Nemesis, goddess of revenge. And this is what I was made to do.") and doesn't listen. In a side story taking place between BOTL and TLO, "The Sword of Hades" (which can be found in the PJO side book The Demigod Files), Ethan steals the sword of Hades, a sword recently forged under the orders of Persephone (without her husband's knowledge, mind you - he said it was too dangerous) with immense necromancy powers, for Kronos. Persephone brings Percy Jackson, Thalia Grace, and Nico di Angelo to her, telling them to track down this thief before he finds a way around the Underworld's lockdown and escapes with the sword. They find Ethan, and get the sword, but Percy decides to let Ethan go rather than kill, or, more reasonably/likely/ethically, capture him. The next time Ethan is in the books is during the Battle of Manhattan, where he goes to stab Percy - coincidentally/'coincidentally' in Percy's Achilles spot, the small of his back - but Annabeth jumps in the way before he can, despite not knowing where Percy's one weakness is herself. The dagger turns out to have been poisoned, and the wound Ethan inflicted is much worse than it should've been. A bit later into the battle, Kronos questions Ethan about where he'd been aiming when going to stab Percy, presuming that Annabeth was smart enough to not forget that her friend was invincible and unnecessarily put herself in danger. Ethan responds that he doesn't know, shocking Percy with what was most likely a lie. Ethan dies not long after that scene, in chapter 19 of The Last Oympian (book 5), a consequence of turning on Kronos at the last second and striking the titan with a dagger, hoping to be lucky enough to hit Kronos/Luke's achilles 'heel'; he was, unfortunately, not that lucky, and the blade shatters, though the pieces aren't what kill Ethan - the floor caves and he falls off Olympus, meeting certain death. His last words (or, at least, the last heard in the book) were "If only they had thrones…" in reference to his mother and all the other minor gods without a place on Olympus. Ethan's deal with his mother was to right the world, make it fair for everyone, and Percy does make sure his legacy lives on, completing the promise, in a way: because of Ethan, Percy realized the wrong in stuffing children of the minor gods in with the unclaimed, and letting the gods get away with leaving so many unclaimed for so long in the first place.
