He is incredibly sweet and friendly towards Persephone, who he has known for many years. Despite his mischievous personality and tendency to fool around, Hermes can become serious when the matter demands it, briefly threatening Thanatos when he inquired about Persephone's name change one too many times. Although he often plays the role of a "dumb jock", Hermes is actually incredibly perceptive, able to determine the motivations and feelings of others with ease.

This ability caused Hades to hire Hermes as a soul collector to make up for the slack of Thanatos. *He has the power of flight. Occupation: *Messenger for the Gods *Soul Collector for Underworld Corp. Family: Maia- Mother (Goddess of Nursing Mothers and the mother of Hermes) Hermes is Maia's son. Although not much is known about their relationship, Hermes states that he only cares for three things: his mother, making money, and annoying Apollo. Because she is not "imbued with godlike power", Hermes took it upon himself to give his mother the best life possible. He expresses that she's a beautiful woman who deserves good things. When Zeus states she has a deep bosom, Hermes was struck speechless. Biography: As an acquaintance of Demeter, Hermes frequently delivered mail to her farm. He eventually became acquainted with her daughter Persephone, at the time known as Kore. After being told by Demeter that he smelt awful, Hermes decided to take a quick bath before returning to Olympus. Noticing her in the shadows of the pool watching him, he called her out on staring, mistaking her for a flower nymph. After slyly revealing her identity, Hermes realized he had not just misunderstood her station, but had trespassed on Demeter's property and interrupted her only daughter while she was bathing. After Kore agreed it was scandalous of him, Hermes reluctantly asked what she wanted from him. Kore revealed she wanted more friends. In order to visit her without Demeter knowing, Hermes pretended to ask if she knew anyone who wanted an encyclopedia, as Athena had ordered doubles. Demeter quickly saw through this ruse and realized that Hermes had seen Kore. Hermes quickly appeased her by flattering her and explaining he couldn't help but bring Kore gifts. Demeter begrudgingly allowed Kore to receive the gift, having the two "meet." Over the years the two would continue their friendship, with Hermes supplying Kore with "contraband." The two would also continue to skinny-dip together, although this was kept a secret from Demeter, who forbid Persephone from interacting with men. Hermes would later become a client of Hades to aid in collecting souls to bring to the Underworld. One day while collecting souls in the Mortal Realm, Hermes noticed a large amount of shades beyond what was on his list. Sensing that something was wrong, Hermes followed the trail of death and found Persephone after her act of wrath. After assisting Demeter in calming Persephone down, Hermes would later assist her in covering the entire thing up. Hermes brought the shades into the Underworld, hid them, and then slowly brought them out over a period of months to effectively hide the entire thing from Hades. Although he did this because of his friendship with Persephone, Hermes was also bribed by Demeter with a large sum of money to keep quiet about the whole incident.
