Meris

Meris (メリス) was one of the Clerics of the Seven Luminaries, being the Luminary of Mercury (水曜師) and specializing in Poison Techniques.

Appearance
Meris had the appearance of a decrepit old man, hiding his wrinkled and withered features behind a veiled clerical attire adorned with jewelry. He typically carried a spear with him, being his prefered choice of weapon in combat.

Personality
Meris was an arrogant and spiteful man who believed himself and his fellow luminaries to be above everyone else as receivers of the "love" of God. When someone rose to prominence and threatened his post, such as Adalman or Hinata Sakaguchi, he and his fellow luminaries would conspire to kill them.

Background
Meris was among one of the earliest followers of Luminous Valentine, with he and his fellow luminaries becoming her personal confidants and receivers of her "love". However, as time passed, they fell out of favor with Luminous, causing them to receive her "love" less often and starting to wither away to age. When Hinata Sakaguchi appeared he conspired to have her killed in combat against Demon Lord Rimuru, hoping that Luminous pay more attention to him after. His plot was uncovered and put to a stop by Diablo, who proceeded to erase him from existence.
