Before The Lightning Thief
Like most satyrs, Grover was sent to find demigods and protect them. Due to his failure at successfully rescuing all three of the previous demigods under his care (Annabeth, Luke and Thalia), he was deemed a loser by The Council of Cloven Elders. Though he is led to believe that it was all his fault, Thalia later reveals that it was Luke.
Lightning Thief
Grover starts out befriending a young man, Percy Jackson, at Yancy Academy, believing he may be a Demigod. However, Grover gets more than he reckoned for when Percy displays his powers after pushing Nancy Bobfit 20 feet back into a fountain. This causes Percy to get in trouble with a chaperone, Mrs Dodds.
Percy is then goes with Mrs. Dodds into an abandoned building, expecting to receive a detention or something. However, Mrs Dodds had other plans, and transforms into a Fury, trying to kill Percy. Percy then slays her and after doing so, discusses this with Grover. Grover, knowing the more ignorant Percy is the safer he will be, pretends to not know about her. However, Percy though sees that Grover is bluffing due to his hesitation and bad lying skills.
Percy later hears Grover talk to Mr. Brunner about him.
After Percy loses Grover, Grover tries to find him and eventually tracks him to Montauk beach where Percy and his mom are on vacation. He then warns them and they travel to Camp Halfblood, on the way Grover reveals he is a satyr and is knocked out and Percy’s mom “dies”. Percy then defeats the Minotaur and drags Grover into Camp Halfblood.
At Camp Halfblood, Grover tells him that he fears he will not get his Searcher’s Liscense to find Pan due to his failure to bring Percy and his companions to camp.
Soon Grover is to go with Annabeth on Percy’s quest to go to the Underworld and recover the Master Bolt.
Before the departure, Luke gives Percy a pair of flying shoes which Percy gives to Grover due to his being forbidden to travel by air.

At the start of the book, one of Percy’s visions show that Grover was being held hostage by a Cyclopes. It is later revealed Grover was lured in by The Golden Fleece, and only managed not to get eaten by dressing up as a Lady Cyclopes.
Powers and Abilities
Woodland Magic: Like all Satyrs, Grover excels in the art of Pan’s magic; he’s able to grow plants, heal nature and communicate with animals. For offensive purposes, Grover is able to turn any form of nature into a weapon; in The Last Olympian, Grover and his fellow Satyrs managed to defeat a whole army of monsters using nothing but rocks, shrubs and trees.
The Power of Pan: Because he was the only Satyr to successfully find Pan, The God of the Wild, Grover received a portion of his power. He is able to use Woodland Magic to a larger degree than fellow
Satyrs and Nymphs, and has an ability called “Panic”. When utilizing this power, Grover emits a scream that strikes fear into the enemy, causing them to panic and retreat. This came in handy in The Battle of the Labyrinth, where Grover scares away a whole battalion of monster simply by screaming.
