Early Life
Iapetus was the third son to be born to Gaea and Ouranos, the respective personifications of the earth and sky. The Titans were the eldest of the three races born to Gaia the Earth and Ouranos the Sky, before the Hekatonkheires (Cottus, Gyges, and Briares) and the Elder Cyclopes (Arges, Brontes, and Steropes). All were detested by their father, but he detested the younger children so much (mainly for their ugliness) that he imprisoned them in the terrifying abyss of Tartarus, which was itself...
Murder of Ouranos
While preparing to ambush his father Ouranos, Iapetus hid himself by posing as a tree (with his arms spread out). Together with his brothers Hyperion, Krios, and Koios, Iapetus held Ouranos down, after which Kronos used the Scythe to slice Ouranos into a thousand pieces and claim his supremacy over the universe. During the murder, Iapetus was kicked in the face by his thrashing father (something his brothers frequently teased him about afterwards). However, right before Kronos sliced him up,...
The Titan Lord of the West
After Kronos claimed his supremacy as the Titan King of Mount Othrys, and ushered in the "Golden Age", Iapetus was justly rewarded for his help with control over the West. Iapetus' usually very calm, "as calm as the sunset", in stark contrast to his passionate and ferocious brother Hyperion. However, Iapetus was capable of great displays of anger as well, and was later nicknamed "The Piercer" due to his great skills at fighting with a long spear. Iapetus would also frequently approach his wis...
While in Hypnos' Cabin seeking Clovis' help with restoring Jason Grace's memory, Annabeth mentions how Percy had told her that he had once visited the River Lethe and that it was powerful enough to wipe the mind of a Titan.
While Annabeth and Percy are in Tartarus, hopeless, they start talking trying to calm themselves and boost each other's morale. She asks Percy the name of Titan whom he had drowned in the River Lethe. Percy replies saying that it was Iapetus, whom he had renamed Bob. Later, they were attacked by five empousai, one of them being Kelli. While they were in no state to fight, they tried to talk and trick the empousai into leaving them. This worked partially as Kelli killed one empousa but still t...

After hearing a voice calling to him for help from the depths of Tartarus, Nico suspects that it might be Bob calling for help, suggesting that he survived his encounter with Tartarus at the Doors of Death. Apollo is surprised that Nico wants to help a Titan, but Nico states that Bob isn't a bad guy and they left him down there.

After escaping Tartarus, Iapetus wore a tattered orange prison jumpsuit, has wild Einstein silver hair that sticks up in every direction, a scraggly long beard, pure silver eyes, and is very thin and haggard and is said to be 10 feet tall. After making it to Camp Half-Blood in The Sun and the Star: A Nico di Angelo Adventure, Nico comments that he'...
As Iapetus
As Iapetus, he was somewhat cruel and arrogant, just like his brothers. However, according to his brother Hyperion, Iapetus was always "conflicted" about helping murder Ouranos, and even describes him as "the soft Titan of the West, soft as the sunset." This implies that while Iapetus was cruel, he was never quite as brutal as his other brothers, namely Kronos and Hyperion. This is confirmed to be true in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, where Iapetus is shown to be calm and patient (in stark cont...
As Bob
After losing his memories, Iapetus is told by Percy that he is his friend, Bob. As Bob, Iapetus became more friendly, gentle, amiable and somewhat childlike. In The House of Hades, he's shown to be bored of his new duties, as Hades, who despised his Titanic uncle, treats him like a slave, and orders him to clean up all of the messes in the Underworld. Despite this, in The Sun and the Star: A Nico di Angelo Adventure, a much more mature Bob shows no hostility towards Hades for his actions and...
