User blog:Lourin/Octavian

I feel that Octavian, even though he's all around horrible, we don't really look more into his past and give him credit. First of all, he was descended from Roman emperors (maybe, 'cuz I am not doing research on this whatsoever) who always hated the Greeks for random reasons. They believed that their gods weren't perfect and began changing them to fit their perfect tastes. Octavian was trained to hate the Greeks and had stuck by it, but probably should have let it go leading up to the moments of his death and left his hatred behind.

Despite this, Octavian is actually a good person (to some degree) because he tried to save Camp Jupiter, despite disobeying Reyna. He thought it was for the good of his people because he'd been there for so long and wanted to finally be recognized. We give him less credit than he deserves. He also keeps a lot of boiling hatred for his ancestor, Apollo, who 'lied' to him after giving him a chance to become savior of Rome.
