The Demigods are a race of beings that are half-god and half-human. They possess mortal souls and are vulnerable to old age and death though they have longer than average human lifespans; however, their divine blood endows them with supernatural abilities that allow them to achieve feats usually not possible by humans.
Most notably the Olympian God Dionysus was a Demigod before being made a full Olympian as a reward for his feats.
