Origin
Main Article: Cronus

Kronos was the youngest child of the sky, Ouranos, but he used a scythe given to him by his mother, Mother Earth, to destroy him and control the universe. He ruled for a long time, but he ate all his children, because he was told one of his children would overthrow him. His wife, Rhea, hid her son, Zeus, and tricked Kronos into eating a rock instead. Many years later, Rhea tricked Kronos into vomiting out his five other children, who joined up with Zeus, who lead them on an attack against the Titans stronghold, Mount Othrys. Zeus used his most powerful weapon, the Master Lightning Bolt, to reduce Kronos to dust, not truly dead. Zeus threw his remains into Taratus, the deepest put on Earth, with the rest of many of the Titans.

The Lightning Thief
In The Lightning Thief, Kronso never physically appeared but manipulated two of the books main villains, Luke Castellan and Ares, God of War. Luke, who was ignored by his father Hermes and had to defend himself from monsters for years, was resentful against the Olympians and Kronos easily convinced him to steal Zeus's Master Bolt and Hades's Cap of Invisibility. He intended for Luke to bring them to Taratus for him to use, but Ares caught Luke. Thankfully for the young demi-god, Kronos convinced the War God that Zeus would blame the thievery of his Master Bolt on Poseidon, causing a huge war. Ares was satisfied and decided to help. Kronos, however, had a new plan and was prepared to blame the entire thievery on Poseidon's son, Percy Jackson, who Ares would hand the Master Bolt to unknown to the demi-god.
