Who is the Headmaster in Percy Jackson and the Olympians?
The Headmaster of the series appears in the sixth episode. He appears in the nightmare of Percy (played by Walker Scobell) in the form of the mysterious yet ghastly, "The Voice".
Ever since the first episode of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Voice has been taunting our hero as he slumbers. In this episode, however, The Voice appears to Percy in the form of his former Headmaster from Yancy Academy.
The Voice may have made use of the Headmaster's form as he is one of the people in Percy's life who harmed him. After all, it was the Headmaster who expelled him from the school.
Is The Voice in Rick Riordan's Books?
Episodes 1 and 2 of Percy Jackson and The Olympians have hinted at The Voice in Percy's nightmares. In these episodes, Percy appears to have a recurring nightmare as he stands on a beach with a mysterious man in the distance.
The man holds a lantern and doesn't show his face to Percy. He continuously berates Percy for being weak and scared. In the dream, The Voice also tells Percy that he knows what he wants-- to seek justice against the gods.
In the books, we know that this entity is Percy Jackson and the Olympians' greatest antagonist: Kronos, the Titan of evil, time, and harvest.
The books also show us that Kronos is working to escape Tartarus, the Underworld's deepest and darkest parts. He is also plotting to take revenge against the gods.
