Hermes is a member of the Greek pantheon: The Olympians. He is the God of travel, travelers, commerce, and thieves. Due to his ludicrous speed, Hermes also serves as the Messenger of the Gods.
He is the son of Zeus and Maia, making Apollo, Ares, Hephaestus, Hercules, Dionysus, and Perseus his half-brothers and Aphrodite, Artemis, Athena, Eris, Hebe, and Persephone his half-sisters.
