Mercury Black

Mercury Black, also known as Merc and Mr. Black, is a character from the RWBY series.
== Charactah Account ==
One of two "right-hand men" to Cinder. Mercury is a laid-back man who frequently engages in friendly bickering with his partner Emerald.
Mercury is shown to be rather care-free and jokes around when in the company of Emerald, who he makes an effort to annoy. He seems to opt for excitement and action; he dislikes books without pictures and tells Emerald he finds the city boring. However, when it comes to matters at hand, Mercury drops this and focuses himself on the mission, though his carefree attitude may occasionally slip out during combat, such as when he taunted Ruby Rose during both their encounters once he got the advantage in their skirmish.
During battle, Mercury displays a sense of seriousness and levelheadedness. Based on his fight with Pyrrha Nikos, he appears to test and gauge his opponent before fully committing to an attack, implying he has a strategic mind. His cunning is later shown once more during his match against Coco Adel and Yatsuhashi Daichi in "Lessons Learned", where he takes advantage of the savanna biome to hide before launching a surprise attack on Coco. He also uses the geyser biome to his advantage, using it to create an opening on Yatsuhashi and defeat him.

== Trivia ==
* Mercury alludes to Mercury from Roman mythology.
* Gray and Miles described Mercury to J.J. as "a hipster douchebag, but he's cool."
* In an interview with AfterBuzz TV, J.J. claims that if Mercury were going all-out, he would have been able to defeat Pyrrha, though he admits this claim is biased. When describing his voice acting for the character, he says that it is basically him doing a bad impression of Jack Nicholson.
