Hermes

Hermes is Middray's assistant and a priest of the Dragon Faithful that worships Milim Nava.

Appearance
He wears priest robes and has a mark on his forehead.

Personality
He shares the same devotion to Milim but isn't as hot-blooded and bellicose as Middray. Due to his travels across the land and the insight he gained into various cuisines, he understands and sympathizes with why Milim rarely, if at all, visits the temple to eat their food but fails to convey that to Middray as he stubbornly believes food is best served raw.

The Octagram Soars Brightly
He's introduced alongside Middray as both attempt to negotiate with Yamza, to have his army refrain from depleting further resources because they've reached the limit of what they could provide. Yamza coldly rejects and brings up that he's here to clean up the mess Milim made of Clayman's plans, and since he's provided a written edict from Milim herself, granting passage through her territory among other rights, the Dragon Faithful should cooperate with him to the best of their abilities. Middray begrudgingly accepts. Yamza then orders them to prepare troops for him, but Hermes lets out a complaint to that in which his arm gets lopped off the next moment. Before things could escalate, Middray sends Hermes flying to a nearby wall with a heavy kick and apologizes to Yamza for Hermes' disrespect, and asks to let him handle his punishment. Yamza accepts and leaves, successfully pouring water on the situation. After getting a room to themselves, Middray releases his bottled anger as he heals Hermes' arm, he spits curses at Yamza for injuring a servant of Milim, to which Hermes retorts in his head that Middray is also guilty of the same crime. Following that, they're seen on the battlefield providing logistical support to Clayman's army. As they witness Yamza's force suffering significant losses to Rimuru's army, Gabiru and Suphia approach them. After a few exchanges, they introduce themselves and state their affiliation with Milim, after that the battle devolves to a sparring session because of Middray's insistence. They continued going at it but halted once they sensed Charybdis' in the distance. They readied themselves to defend but not too soon was the threat swiftly dispatched by Benimaru. The next moment, Benimaru teleports in on them and notices the friendly atmosphere. After a few talks, the battle is officially over.
