Chiron has been raising demigods for nearly two-thousand years now, and the job hasn't gotten any less interesting to him. He loves every minute of his life and strives to shape his group of half-bloods into the best they can be. Many campers think they won't be able to live up to the standards of past heroes, like Heracles, Theseus, and even Percy Jackson, but Chiron knows every one of his kids inside and out. He knows what they're capable of and what their limits are. He knows their strengths and weaknesses. Most importantly, he knows they can accomplish whatever they want once they're pushed in the right direction. He always manages to find the good in people.
Chiron is extremely hard to aggravate or annoy. He's very level-headed and easy-going, though he's got more determination than anyone else. If you come to him with a question or problem, he won't hesitate to help you out, or direct you to someone who can. He's way too protective, and is willing to put himself in danger if it means keeping his demigods safe, and this is what you could consider his fatal flaw. He's also very honest, and will tell you when you're doing something incorrectly. He'll say it nicely, but he'll still be sure to let you know.
History
Godly Parent: Father - Kronos (Titan); Mother - Philyra (Nymph)
Mortal Parent: N/A
Siblings: N/A
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Hometown: Camp Half-Blood
Chiron was conceived when Kronos disguised himself as a horse in order to seduce an attractive nymph, Philyra, without his wife, Rhea, finding out. He was born during the same time that Zeus was hiding in Crete. Kronos, wanting to swallow all his children so that none overthrew him as was foretold, was under the impression that he'd eaten Zeus already, so his main area of focus was to find Chiron. The centaur was too quick for him, however, and he was never captured. Eventually, the Titans were overthrown and Chiron could stop constantly fleeing from his father.
Over the years, Chiron trained many heroes, most of which became well-known saviors, his most famous being Heracles. He is probably on the same skill level of archery as even Apollo and Artemis. He's also said to have created the art of healing and medicine. It's these skills, along with his determination, kind heart, and love for helping others, that made him a great tutor for demigods. He started Camp Half-Blood as a safe haven for half-bloods so they didn't have to constantly run from monsters like he did with Kronos.
After the second Titan War, he thought his camp would finally have a break. But no, one year later,he received a threatening message from an unknown source, warning him that war was going to rain down on his camp. He tried to dismiss this, but the campers took it to heart. He's trying his hardest to calm them down, but his efforts are futile. He won't stop, though. He's going to prepare for the war, which he's sure will probably come, in silence. He may have thought the threat was a bunch of garage at first, but in the end, he'll do whatever it takes to protect his campers.
