Percy was an evolved orangutan and a member of the Ape Elders.
History[]
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: Firestorm[]
After escaping into Muir Woods with the other apes during the Ape Rebellion, Percy was the one who first heard the helicopter chasing them on their fifth day in the woods and alerted Rocket.[1]
After the formation of the colony, Percy joined the Ape Elders.
War for the Planet of the Apes[]
Percy later became a member of the Ape Council and was among the apes who witnessed the return of Blue Eyes and Rocket. He was later seen sitting at an Ape Council meeting between Winter and Luca. Percy later left with the other apes led by Spear to head to the oasis Blue Eyes and Rocket found, carrying a baby orangutan, possibly his child. He was later captured with the others and made a slave by Alpha-Omega.
Later at the labor camp, Percy accidentally dropped a branch and was whipped by Red as punishment before Caesar yelled at him to stop. Colonel McCullough ordered Preacher and the Donkeys to bring both him and Caesar to him, then orders Red to whip Caesar until it became too much for him. He then told Caesar to put his apes back to work, but Caesar refused. McCullough told him again, and Caesar still refused, enraging McCullough to pull out his gun and shoot Percy in the head, killing him.
