Ekidne - A New Olympian.
History
Ekidne is particularly suspicious of, and ill-disposed towards, humans. After New Olympus makes contact with the outside world, she will be the leader of an isolationist faction that wants nothing to do with the humans. Another member of it, although a reluctant one, is her daughter Medusa.
