Percy Jackson and the Olympians

The Battle of the Labyrinth

The lost nature god, Pan, talks to Grover, Percy, Annabeth, Tyson, Nico, and Rachel. When he talks to Rachel, she feels guilty, because she believes her dad made the Wild fade quicker, being a land developer. He finds land in the wild, clears it and builds on top of it. Because of this Pan fades and Rachel feels guilty.

The Last Olympian

Mr. Dare is seen a few times in Percy's dreams. In one dream Percy said, "He gazed out on the Manhattan Skyline as if he owned it-which wasn't true. He only owned part of it." He always refers to Percy as "young man," or to Rachel, "your friend." Percy was planning on going with her family to their vacation home, but had to go on a quest before he could give her an answer. He allowed Rachel to invite Percy to vacation with them as an attempt to bribe Rachel to go to a finishing school. He eventually gets what he wants, as she agreed to go so she could be flown back to New York.
