–Malcolm to Annabeth, in The Last Olympian.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians[]

The Battle of the Labyrinth[]

Athena

Athena, his mother.

Malcolm happened to walk in upon Percy and Annabeth hugging while preparing for their quest into the Labyrinth, and he apologizes and leaves, but the moment was already ruined by Percy's awkwardness. 

The Last Olympian[]

Malcolm was one of the campers that fought for Olympus in the battle of New York City. He led Athena's Cabin to the battle due to Annabeth being with Percy.

The Heroes of Olympus[]

The Blood of Olympus[]

Malcolm became counselor of Athena's Cabin while Annabeth was with the Seven and attended the war meeting about the Roman invasion.

The Trials of Apollo[]

The Hidden Oracle[]

Malcolm commanded the defense when Nero assaulted Camp Half-Blood because Annabeth only attends camp during the summer. He also mans a command post in the battle against the Colossus, and is, according to Apollo, wearing a leather cuirass and red boxer shorts.

The Tower of Nero[]

When Annabeth heads to college, he becomes the cabin's new counselor. When Apollo asks for information on Nero's Tower, the son of Athena says he can get the information from him in four weeks, three weeks "if we push it," causing Apollo to cry. He presumably joins the rest of the forces of Camp Half-Blood in fighting in the Battle of Nero's Tower.
