The Furies are a group of three monsters who work for Hades. They assume the form of winged, fanged, leathery creatures, though they sometimes take more human forms (often of old women). Individuals at Camp Half-Blood often refer to them as The Kindly Ones so as to not attract them, as naming a monster can summon it.
According to Hesiod, the Furies sprang forth from the spilled blood of Uranus when he was castrated by his son Cronus. According to Aeschylus' Oresteia, they are the daughters of Nyx, in Virgil's version, they are daughters of Pluto (Hades) and Nox (Nyx).
Names of the Furies
While some sources say that there may be more, most myths have three Furies. These three goddesses are Alecto (anger), Megaera (jealousy), and Tisiphone (avenger).
THE ERINYES (Furies) were three goddesses of vengeance and retribution who punished men for crimes against the natural order.

Hades accuses Percy of stealing the master bolt himself in order to help Poseidon start a war. He accuses Percy of stealing his own symbol of power, his helm of darkness. Hades tells them that if they don't return his helm of darkness, he will stop death and "make your lands a nightmare" (19.124).
Hades became angered at Percy, when the hero seemed to suggest that he was a minor god, which Percy quickly denied and went on to say that he too should gain a cabin at Camp Half-Blood.
During a game of Capture the Flag, Percy learns he is healed by water after he is attacked by a hellhound. He is then claimed as a son of Poseidon through a hologram of a glowing green trident above his head.

They punished the wicked and guilty without pity but the good and innocent had little to fear from them.
