Iapetus is a supporting character in the Camp Half-Blood series, serving as the main antagonist of the short story The Sword of Hades. In the story, Iapetus utilizes demigod Ethan Nakamura to help him steal the titular sword of Hades and escape from Tartarus. He is apprehended by a team of three heroes, Percy Jackson, Thalia Grace, and Nico di Angelo. In the struggle that ensued, Percy knocks Iapetus into the River Lethe. With his memory erased, Percy convinces the Titan that he is an ally of the Olympians, Bob.

Bob next appears in the fourth installment of The Heroes of Olympus series, The House of Hades, as a protagonist. Throughout the book, Bob struggles with his two identities, the villain Iapetus and the hero Bob. As his memories are fully restored, Bob finally decides to be more than Iapetus and he sacrifices himself to help Percy and his girlfriend Annabeth Chase close the Doors of Death and defeat Gaea.

In The Sun and the Star: A Nico di Angelo Adventure, a regenerated Bob is rescued from Tartarus by Nico di Angelo and his boyfriend Will Solace. Following his death at the Doors of Death, Bob had been captured by Nyx who had trapped Bob in a permanent regeneration cycle and sought to force him to become Iapetus again, but Bob had no desire to go back to being Iapetus. Following his rescue, Bob set out on a journey west to figure out his future with his pet skeleton cat Small Bob. Bob is shown to only have limited memories of his past as Iapetus, but he retains his knowledge of the Underworld as a Titan and a more mature personality than when he was first memory wiped and jumped into Tartarus to help Percy and Annabeth.

Trivia

• Iapetus is similar to Darth Revan in the fact that both villains became heroes after their memories were stolen.
