runs the infirmary. According to Will himself, he lacks the archery skills of the other children of Apollo due to his inherited gifts being for healing rather than combat. Nevertheless, he is extremely brave and, along with his healing abilities, can emit a painful ultrasonic whistle and can glow. Will is LGBT, although his exact sexuality is never specified. In The Last Olympian, when Annabeth is hurt, Will uses his healing powers to help cure Annabeth. Following the death of his half-brother Michael Yew in the Battle of Manhattan, he becomes the head of the Apollo cabin. In The Blood of Olympus, Will attends a head counselor meeting discussing the situation with Romans where he laments that he lacks the combat skills of many of his siblings due to his gifts being for healing.
