Hermes

"'Hermes. The Messenger God. His speed cannot be matched, not even by vampires.' - Carlton Hopper to the Trusted Six.""'I run fast. It's kind of my gimmick. But be careful! If you blink to many times, you may miss me.' - Hermes to the Trusted Six."Hermes is a Greek God and member of the Greek Gods. He's the Messenger of the Gods.

In The Gods of this World
Hermes appears a few days after the Hidden were unleashed. The Trusted Six came across him in a local candy shop where he was buying candy bars. He then appears various times throughout the story, sometimes being a bit of a bully. He picks on Thomas, who initially thought of himself as one of the fastest creatures on Earth. He also occasionally knocks down random people who had done nothing to him. But he isn't always a bully. He introduces the Six to ambrosia, a special food and drink usually suited for the Gods. He makes them a safe version for them to drink and eat. He also helps Brahma retrieve a special talisman to protect the Six from some of the Hidden monsters. He is present in the final battle between the Hidden and uses his super speed. When the battle is finished, he prepares to leave for Mount Olympus but not before challenging Thomas to a quick race.
