He is reportedly set to appear in six episodes in season three as his character is the primary antagonist.

David (pictured center) will also have a recurring role, taking on the role of Dr. Thorn, who is “a stern military academy headmaster who demands obedience from his students.” Dr Thorn is just his human manifestation…

Jesse (pictured right) will appear as a guest star in season three as Frederick Chase, Annabeth’s (Leah Sava Jeffries) mortal father, “a sometimes absentminded but truly brilliant military historian that Athena deemed worthy to parent her daughter.” The character descriptions says, “though Frederick and Annabeth have had a complicated relationship, he loves her, and they have been finding a way back to each other.”

The three actors join previously announced Levi Chrisopulos as Nico di Angelo, Olive Abercrombie as Bianca di Angelo, Dafne Keen as Artemis, Saara Chaudry as Zoe Nightshade and Kate McKinnon as Aphrodite.
