==Biography==
===First Titanomachy===
During the Great War, Hermes is one of the gods who fought the Titans and is seen dodging a boulder thrown at him by one of them.
===Wager of the Gods===
Hermes, much like his brethren, was briefly seen competing in the wager of the gods, a contest in which each god chose one demigod to represent themselves in a search for Ambrosia. He was later seen with Poseidon, watching as Kratos, Ares' champion, slaughtered many enemies in his path. His confidence in his own son, Danaus proved infallible, as he continually taunted his fellow gods about his champion being the one to steal the Ambrosia. Unfortunately for Hermes, Danaus later met his end at the hands of Hades' son, Alrik.
Later, his son Ceryx faced Kratos in battle, and was killed. Hermes mourned the lost of his two sons and promised that their spirits would live peacefully in Elysium forever. He would also be the one to plot in destroying Kratos.
===Second Titanomachy===
As Kratos and the Titans were scaling Mount Olympus, Hermes stood between Hades and Helios as they look downwards on the oncoming threat. Hermes was one of the Gods who battled Kratos and the Titans. When the Titans ascended Mount Olympus, Hermes leaped from the balcony, and began running straight down the mountain itself.
While in the Labyrinth, Hermes waited for Kratos to arrive and began to taunt him about his quest for vengeance. An angered Kratos tried to stop him, but Hermes used his speed to move away. After trading insults with Kratos, Hermes ran up the Chain of Balance linking the Underworld and Olympus, and saw Kratos pursue him.
Reappearing in the Chamber of the Flame, Hermes again taunted Kratos about his lack of speed. He then lead Kratos around the outside of the Olympian Citadel on a perilous chase, with Kratos dodging incoming projectiles. Eventually, Kratos cornered Hermes by launching a boulder from a catapult, chaining himself to the boulder with his blades. The boulder then smashed into an Athena statue, which Hermes had perched himself on, and left him wounded after crashing down on a building.
Unable to escape, Hermes attempted to defeat Kratos in combat, using his formidable speed and agility to his advantage. Unfortunately for him, his wounds from the crash left him exhausted, as he continually stopped to catch his breath. Upon his defeat, Hermes mocked Kratos one last time, dying when Kratos kill him and took his winged boots.
