Herry "The Brawn", descendant of Hercules who is also his mentor. A 16-year-old farm boy and the third to be discovered, he completed the initial trio of teens Hermes brought to Olympus High.
Herry drives a pickup truck and was redesigned and equipped by Hephaestus to become the group's official ride. He has superhuman strength and tends to rely mostly on this. As such, he usually has no weapon, though he can be improvisational and learn to use just about anything when the need arises. While resourceful in this way, he doesn't seem to be particularly bright.
Physical Appearance
Herry is the tallest of the seven teen heroes and physically the most muscular. He had broad shoulders and chest and slender waist. He typically is seen wearing a green t-shirt, brown cargo shorts, and brown shoes. Herry's hair is dark brown is color and styled almost identical to Jay's.
Personality
Despite his larger physic and brute strength, Herry is rather gentle, kind, and somewhat skittish. He is very helpful to those around him and in particular his Granny. When thrust into battle or his friends or Granny is in danger, Herry becomes noticeably more aggressive but still tries to stay collected since realizing he needs to rely on his mind almost as much as his physical strength. Although not as quick minded as the others, Herry proves several times to think up of good solutions that can help the team out.
Most likely because his strength is used so often which makes him one of the more physically active of the heroes, Herry has a big appetite and can often be seen eating whatever catches his attention. Before being advised by Hercules that he needs to rely on his mind more than his body, Herry would often charge into a fight without thinking things through beforehand which would often backfire and unintentionally made others see him as the "No brain, All brawn" type. Once he did start thinking things through, his fighting began to have a better outcome and success rate although he did occasionally still fall for tricks.
Like many teenage boys, Herry is somewhat girl crazy and usually makes a connection with a girl that he becomes interested in, but it usually does not last long for different reasons; mainly because the girls he becomes interested in are part of Cronus' latest plan.
History
Herry was found by Hermes on a farm after fighting two giants alone. He appears to have been primarily raised by his grandmother, who seems to be very fond of him. Granny is the only parental figure that seems to know about Herry and the other heroes as of Episode 12 and even is familiar with Zeus.
