Personality
Mercury is incredibly intelligent. He is constantly reading and contemplating the way life and the world works. For this, he is often silent. No one, except his sister, seems to understand the wickedly twisted way in which his mind works. He is not particularly social, often avoiding people as a whole. It's not that he is shy, he is just awkward and genuinely does not know how to socialize. He would rather spend his days with the fictional characters in his novels repeatedly than with people.

On the rare occasion that Mercury does speak, his words are thickly laced with sarcasm and blatant honesty. Mercury has nothing to gain or to lose by talking to people, something he is well aware of. Therefore, he has no filter and lets all of his thoughts about the person in front of him slip out with ease.

In general, Mercury just doesn't care about anything other than his books and his sister. He enjoys his telekinesis, but he is perpetually cynical and apathetic. He rarely smiles and smokes much too often. He knows the tar does nothing to his lungs anymore, but he still likes to pretend every cigarette brings him closer to the end. His favorite contemporary quote is "You smoke to be social, I smoke to die," written by John Green in his book "Looking For Alaska.

Biography
As with any demon, Mercury was plucked from the ember of hell's fire and given life from the devil himself. He was created twenty-two years ago, making him exceedingly young in the demon world, seeing as Demons are immortal. He, as well as his twin Alchemy, were created specifically to consume the souls of those associated with technology. Satan had realized that in modern times, sin was created with the advent of technology, thus, he finally decided to create a Demon whose purpose was to manipulate the way technology influenced people in order to create more sin. Of course, he hadn't intended for Alchemy to come as well. It is very rare for Demon twins to be created, but when the ember splits exactly right, such an event does happen.

Once Mercury was created, he went straight into the manipulation of people. However, the human life above quickly ensnared him. He found himself indulging in pleasures of the flesh far too often than Satan had intended. However, because Mercury's actions often condemn other humans, Satan has no punished him from straying from his purpose. Though, one must admit, as a Demon, Mercury is quite weak and pitiful. Of course, this is mostly due to his young age and his obsession with alcohol and drugs.

Perhaps it is his young age, but Mercury has yet to consume a single soul and Satan is growing impatient for he gains energy based on the souls his Demons consume. Especially because his twin sister, Alchemy, has consumed so many.

Nowadays, Mercury has been living mostly in the Red Light District wandering the alleyways. For what purpose? Sin. Naturally.

Extra's
Mercury, while he does often take women into his bed, is openly gay.
