Description
Hermes, one of the Twelve Gods of Olympus, serves as a direct assistant to Zeus. He possesses a tall, handsome frame typically clad in a butler uniform and has neatly combed black hair. Distinctive tattoos of unknown design mark the area above his left eye and below his right eye, accompanied by a small mole on the right side of his chin. His eyes feature multiple concentric circles.
Personality-wise, Hermes maintains a detached and calculating demeanor, occasionally displaying playfulness. He rarely exhibits strong emotions but shows surprise when humans display unexpected strength against gods. He genuinely enjoys observing intense battles, sharing Zeus's appreciation for combat spectacle. While believing in godly superiority, he acknowledges human potential and strength, offering praise to human fighters during Ragnarok. He composes musical requiems for fallen fighters from both sides as a sign of respect. His relationship with Ares involves humoring the latter's attempts to maintain dignity while privately seeing through his posturing.
His divine physiology grants semi-immortality and physical capabilities far exceeding ordinary humans. His body resists mortal weapons but remains vulnerable to superhuman-strength attacks or divine weapons. He demonstrates matter manipulation, materializing multiple violins for performances, and telekinesis, allowing him to levitate instruments for simultaneous play or levitate himself to evade danger. His keen intellect enables accurate analysis of combat tactics during Ragnarok, understanding complex maneuvers like Adam's counter against Zeus's time-surpassing fist when others could not. He is an expert violinist and composer; musicians like Bach and Mozart praised his performances as divine.
Historically, Hermes participated in the Gigantomachy, reporting battlefield status to Zeus and emerging unscathed. During Adamas's rebellion against Zeus, Hermes secretly spread rumors of traitors among the Olympians as part of Zeus's strategy to expose the coup. He witnessed Poseidon mortally wound Adamas and, following Hades's instructions, took Adamas to Beelzebub for cybernetic reconstruction, leading to Adamas's erasure from history and new identity as Adamantine. Hermes later confirmed to Poseidon that Adamas survived, though Poseidon declined further action to avoid upsetting Hades.
Throughout Ragnarok, Hermes attends all matches alongside Zeus and Ares. He explains combat mechanics like the Völundr process. Before Zeus's fight in Round 2, he heralds the entrance by playing "Slaughter in the Gods Ring" on multiple telekinetically controlled violins. He analytically observes battles, correctly predicting time limits on Zeus's Adamas form and identifying strategic gambles like Jack the Ripper's victory against Heracles. After Greek gods suffer losses, Hermes joins efforts to prioritize Greek representatives for subsequent rounds, masking frustration when results favor humans. He suggests Ares as a replacement after Buddha's betrayal in Round 6, though Hades ultimately volunteers. Hermes continues composing requiems for fallen fighters, including Hades after Round 7. He later conveys Beelzebub's challenge to Zeus for Round 8.
His equipment includes divine violins used for performances, which he can materialize and control via telekinesis during divine ceremonies and combat introductions.
