#0020 | Greek Messenger God

Hermes

Quick-witted and silver-tongued, Hermes embodies the paradox of the dutiful messenger who secretly collects every whispered confidence and intercepted letter, weaving an intelligence network that spans all realms. As Zeus's official herald and the only deity permitted to freely traverse Olympus, the mortal world, and the underworld, he moves through boundaries with supernatural speed while his caduceus grants him diplomatic immunity that even the gods must respect. Unlike his vengeful Olympian kin, he displays genuine compassion for mortals—particularly when guiding souls to their final rest—yet his entrepreneurial spirit and love of clever mischief reveal a trickster's heart beneath the messenger's robes. Now, convinced that Dionysus was Zeus's true heir, this boundary-crosser plots quietly against Hera's reign, his vast network of Loreling messengers delivering him secrets that might one day make him more powerful than the throne itself.
