He is the Messenger of the Gods (神々の使者) and the Guide of the Dead (死者のガイド). During the Animal-Human War he was the Speed General (スピード将軍). His animal symbols are a tortoise, a ram and a hawk.

## Background

### Parentage

Hermes is the son of Zeus and Maia. And with that, he is the grandson of Cronos and Rhea, as parents of Zeus, and Atlas and Pleione, as parents of Maia. Cronus and Rhea are children of Uranus and Gaia, while Atlas is son of Iapetus and Clymene, and Pleione is an Oceanid daughter of Oceanus and Tethys. Uranus is the son and husband of Gaia, while Iapetus, Oceanus and Tethys are children of Uranus and Gaia, and Clymene is another Oceanid daughter of Oceanus and Tethys.

### Pranking Apollo

As a newborn, Hermes matured rapidly and within a few minutes of his birth stole the cattle of Apollo and invented the lyre. He even thought of a clever way to cover up his crime: tying bundles of grass to the cows' feet and leading them backward out of the pasture to make it look like something had been led into the pasture, but not away from it. Despite this, Apollo found out and went to Zeus for justice. When brought before his father, Hermes attempted to charm Zeus into letting him go by telling him he was just an innocent new born baby. Undeceived, but amused by the child's boldness, Zeus instead forced him to compensate Apollo, which Hermes did by presenting him with the lyre.

### Wedding of Hera and Zeus

When all the gods, men, and animals were invited by the divine messenger, Hermes, to attend the wedding of Zeus and Hera, the nymph Chelone alone remained at home, to shew her disregard of the solemnity. But Hermes then descended from Olympus, threw Chelone's house, which stood on the bank of a river, together with the nymph, into the water, and transformed her into a lazy tortoise, who had henceforth to carry her house on her back.

### Slaying Argus

A long time ago, Zeus had a mortal lover named Io which was captured by Hera and guarded by a giant named Argus Panoptes. Zeus sent Hermes to save Io, and Hermes ended up killing Argus in the process. Since then, he gained the name "Argeiphontes".

## Personality

Hermes is very fun-going individual, and is considered proud of his speed, exclaiming his opponents "too slow", though he do know that he was the one that is too quick. Hermes is a clever, smart, intelligent but sly god. As the god of liars and thieves, Hermes is talented in stealing and lying, despite failing to deceive his father. His role as the god of inventions and musical instruments also proved his prowess in making the lyre.

## Appearance

Hermes is a cat wearing a pair of winged boots. He has a winged helmet and a staff named as a Caduceus. In his true human form, Hermes is a youthful man with winged boots, a cape, a winged helmet and a Caduceus.

## Abilities

### Vast Superhuman Speed

As the God of Travel and messengers, Hermes is extremely fast and can travel at supersonic speeds, faster than most other gods, due to his winged shoes. Even without wearing his winged boots, Hermes displayed his enhanced agility by performing amazing feats such as:

* Sprinting at breakneck speeds
* Leaping (and possibly gliding) for great distances and making precise and accurate jumps
* Defying gravity, being able to run up and across vertical and horizontal surfaces respectively

With his winged boots, Hermes' already impressive agility and speed are magnified to beyond superhuman levels and allow him to become virtually untouchable in combat. While wearing the boots, Hermes can walk in the air and fly as if he is having a jog.

### Superhuman Durability

As one of the Olympians and the messenger of the Gods, Hermes was highly resistant to most forms of physical damage. Although he himself was nowhere near as powerful as many of the other gods, Hermes was still very powerful in his own right.

### Superhuman Agility

Along with his speed, Hermes’s most famous attribute was his immense physical agility. He was able to leap on great distance both horizontally and vertically, doing impressive gymnastic moves quickly climbs and was able to use his agility to combat effectively.

### Immortality

As one of the Olympians and the messenger of the Gods, Hermes was immortal.

### Power Conjuring

Hermes may also have had the power of conjuring the elements, Hermes had fire protruding from his hair and winged sandals. Hermes has bright light for hair that is sometimes seen with flames emanating from it.

### Wisdom

Combining his agility with his physical abilities, he was able to utilize the environment around him as a means to gain the upper hand over his opponents; making him show signs of an impressive intelligence; showing that he is one of the more clever and creative of the gods (while most of the gods, despite being very creative in their own ways, were mostly blinded by the evils that were infecting them as well as their arrogance).

### Several Enhanced Skills

Hermes is perhaps the most versatile Olympian to be the god of so many diverse things: roads, shepherds, thieves, travelers, hospitality, heralds, diplomacy, trade, language, writing, money, athletics, swordsmanship, and has high intelligence with inventions and alchemy.

### Strength

Hermes has great physical prowess as he lifted Chelone's house and hurled it around the nymph.

### Swordsmanship

Hermes received a mighty sword from his brother Apollo in exchange for his flute. Hermes's sword is made of adamantine and Imperial Gold, and is extremely sharp. This implies excellent swordsmanship skills on Hermes's part.

### Teleportation

Hermes can disappear in a cloud of smoke.

### Transgressing Realms

As the messenger of the gods, Hermes can freely go to the realm of any god without an invitation, including the Underworld, as it is his duty to guide newly deceased souls there.

### Enhanced Thievery

As the God of Thieves, Hermes has a supernatural way of stealing things without others noticing, even other Olympians, such as when he stole Apollo's cattle as a child.

### Clauditiskinesis

As the god of thieves, Hermes can sense the internal structure and mechanisms of any lock he touches, and is always able to make it unlock. He can do this telekinetically.

#### Lock Intuition

Hermes can instantly identify curses and traps placed on locks, and deactivate them.

### Money Manipulation

Since Hermes is the god of merchants, he can easily manipulate money and the stock market.

### Athletics

As the god of athletics, Hermes has a naturally enhanced athletic ability.

### Inventions

Hermes is an unbelievable inventor only surpassed by his half-brother Hephaestus and rivaled by his half-sister Athena. He invented the lyre and flute, and even claims to have invented the Internet.

### Ancient Greek Alchemy

Hermes is a very adept alchemist. Hermes's proficiency is connected with his *Hermes Trismegistus* ("Hermes Thrice-Greatest") title.

### Power of Persuasion

As the god of communication he is honored as the patron of eloquence. Hermes can be "very convincing," but whether or not this is similar to Aphrodite's charm-speak is unknown.

### Intelligence

Hermes is shrewd and formidably intelligent - he successfully stole Apollo's cattle, and later on not only appeased his brother's wrath through offering him the lyre, but he also acquired numerous magical gifts from his brother by trading him the flute. Hence, Hermes was the one to gift Pandora with deceitfulness.

### Transfiguration

Hermes transformed the stubborn nymph Chelone into a turtle.

### Prophecy

Apollo granted Hermes the power to predict the future by throwing dice, which might have been how Hermes knew some of Luke's fate.

### Audiokinesis

Since Hermes is the god of communication and has the power of persuasion, he can sing really well and persuade people with his singing as well. This is much like how Piper McLean can sing and put charmspeak in her voice.

### Weaknesses

No major weakness, but he seldom stays still for long. Hermes has it together.

## Twin Shot

Hermes encountered Spid. Hermes and Nike were part of Team Retrieval, and they fought Belial while trying to retrieve stolen treasures. They tried stunning Belial but Belial knocked Nike back. Hermes then unleashes his Speedy Finish and finished the demon off.

## Twin Shot II: Good & Evil

The Demons are seen climbing Mount Olympus to reach the Holy Grounds, except for Beelzebub and Esh. Helios, Hermes, Hades, Heracles and some soldiers fought in the defensive line. When Poseidon entered the fray, he blasted through Bemabatt Leakhor's chest killing him. The Hippocampi were then summoned and one was defeated by Baraq. Hades then killed Oqeyanos. Poseidon fought Baraq, but was defeated by being knocked unconscious. Baraq then attempted to kill Zeus, but was blasted away by his thunderbolt. Eros and Apollo of Team Guardian from Five Grand Cardinals then fought over the invasion of the demons, where Baraq was killed by the twin archer gods. The Team Retrieval then infiltrated Evil Grounds with Eros and Apollo of Team Guardian and retrieved the remaining treasures.

## Olympian's Crown

### Motive

Many had been requesting for a trip to Mount Olympus and Holy Grounds. Prime Minister Monkey-Tail requested you to deliver the letter to the Forgotten Sanctuary. If you chose to give it to Hermes directly you will face him at Path B.

### Battle

Hermes will constantly run circles and teleport around. The only thing to damage him is to use long ranged attacks. At some point he will use Speedy Protect, and circle around the screen, dealing unavoidable damage. If you defeat him he will praise you for outrunning him and promised to convince his father Zeus to accept the request. Winning earns you the blue talisman.

### Boons

Hermes will use boons on him that increases mobility, ability speed, evasion and dash capability. He will apply:

* Swift Strike: Attack is faster.
* Swift Flourish: Mystic Artes are faster.
* Flurry Cast: Cast is faster and fully automatic.
* Quick Favor: Call charges up automatically.
* Hyper Sprint: For a few seconds after Dash, become Sturdy and run two times faster.
* Greater Haste: Move faster.
* Quick Recovery: After taking damage, quickly Dash to recover lost health.
* Greater Evasion: Have chance to Dodge.
* Greatest Reflex: Dash more time(s) in a row.
* Second Wind: After using Call, gain Dodge chance and move speed for 10 Sec.
* Quick Reload: Foes drop coins stuck in them faster.
* Side Hustle: Each time before entering a Chamber, gain a bit weapons.
* Rush Delivery: Deals bonus damage based on any bonus move speed.
* Auto Reload: Regenerate coins faster.
* Greater Recall: Coins automatically return.
* Bad News: Cast deals more damage to foes without coins on them. First shot damage: +50%

These boons can be bought in "Old Yellow" Tower.

## Quotes

* (To his opponents) You're too slow!
* (To Minos) Yes. It seems that uncle Hades has permitted Xiaoyaya's demand of revival.
* (To Minos) Although I'm not satisfied but we have to release her, brother.

## Trivia

* Hermes' attributes had previously influenced the earlier Etruscan god Turms, a name borrowed from the Greek "herma". In Roman mythology and religion many of Hermes' characteristics belong to Mercury, a name derived from the Latin merx, meaning "merchandise," and the origin of the words "merchant" and "commerce."
* His Roman name, Mercury, is the name of the first planet of the Solar System, followed by Venus.
* Mercury, being the fastest planet to orbit the sun, is appropriately named for the swiftest of the ancient Roman gods, equivalent to Hermes.
* Based on The Planets Suite Op. 32 composed by Gustav Holst, Hermes' Roman name Mercury is the third movement and is named as the Winged Messenger.
* From the name of Shazam, Mercury, Roman equivalent of Hermes, stands for the 'M' in the name, hinting that Shazam has the speed of Mercury (Hermes), which is superhumanly vast.
* Hermes is one of the few deities that are both Olympian and Chthonic. Others include Apollo, as well as the Sisters of Fate Lahkesis, Atropos and Clotho.
