Coach Gleeson Hedge

Wikipedia

A Guide to The Heroes of Olympus series

Gleeson Hedge is a satyr first mentioned in The Last Olympian, as the author of a distress call sent to Grover Underwood. Like Grover, Hedge is also a demigod Protector; his proudest "recruit" being Clarisse La Rue.
He disguises himself as a coach at the Wilderness School to escort Piper McLean and Leo Valdez (and later, Jason Grace) to Camp Half-Blood. He also serves as the adult chaperone for the Argo II and later accompanies the Athena Parthenos to camp.
Despite his often warlike and often overly aggressive attitude, Hedge is kind and understanding to campers in need. He enjoys extreme sports and martial arts movies.
In The Lost Hero, Hedge falls in love with Mellie the cloud nymph (assistant to Aeolus) and marries her; by the time of The House of Hades, Mellie is pregnant with a satyr boy. Chuck, the baby, is born at the end of The Blood of Olympus, with Clarisse as his godmother.
