Joseph Manice has been at Camp-Halfblood for 2 years now. He's heard all about the legendary Battle of the Labyrinth and the spectacular Titan War (the first and second). He knows that dozens of people died but deep down inside he feels jealous. Why couldn't he go on exciting quest? Why wasn't he a hero? What was stopping him from slaying monsters and getting all the glory? Nothing. He will become the greatest hero of all.
