Frank Zhang is a Chinese Canadian Roman demigod son of Mars and Emily Zhang, as well as a legacy of Poseidon. Due to his increased power, however, his life was made fragile by the Moirai, who bound his life to a piece of firewood. Zhang's mother was killed in Afghanistan, leading his grandmother to tell him about his father.

At Camp Jupiter, Zhang gained a place in the Fifth Cohort before leading the Quest for Thanatos, where he burned most of his firewood to free Letus and killed Alcyoneus. Zhang also defended the camp in the Attack on Camp Jupiter and joined the Demigods of Seven, where he encountered Phorcys and Keto, discovered the Camp for Mer-heroes, and helped scare off the dolphin crew of Chrysaor. Zhang also fought Otis and Ephialtes, killed all the katoblepones in Venice, and fought Clytius, being promoted to praetor of the Twelfth Legion Fulminata by Jason Grace. During the final stages of the Second Gigantomachy, he helped subdue Nike/Victoria before killing numerous Gigantes with help from Ares and fighting in the Attack on Camp Half-Blood.

By the time Apollo was made mortal for the third time, Zhang was at Camp Jupiter as praetor, alongside Reyna Ramírez-Arellano.

Abilities

  • Trilingual: Zhang is able to speak and understand English, some Latin, and a bit of Chinese. Zhang can also speak a small amount of Canadian French.
  • Physical Prowess: As a son of Mars, Zhang is stronger even than the average demigod.
  • Archery: Zhang is incredibly skilled at archery.
  • Swordsmanship: Although Zhang rarely uses a sword, he is very skilled at the art as a son of Mars.
  • Necromancy: As a son of Mars and praetor of the Twelfth Legion Fulminata, Zhang has power over the dead ghosts and skeletons of ancient Roman Legionnaires, as well as those of the soldiers of the losing side of each side.
  • Shapeshifting: As a descendant of Periclymenus, Zhang has the ability to change into any mythical or real animal, which is easier to use during times of danger and battle and/or if he knows the animal well, the latter of which makes the animal stronger. Zhang has been known to have turned into an elephant, eagle, grizzly bear, weasel, seal, dragon, crow, iguana, snake, koi goldfish, dolphin, gorilla, bulldog, rhinoceros, lion, and even a swarm of bees.
