This is Hermes's Thread. Considering significant factor of his "Fall" was refusal of others to acknowledge him, comments like those really gives credence to his response of "F%&k it! Everyone should just die!" :P

Focusing back on Hermes and Elpis, from our conversations with the researchers at Elpis he seemed pretty apt for the role. At most he’s said to be a quiet, but an invaluable resource and genius when it comes to creations. He’s also likely been doing it for a lot longer than the brief span we interact with him, the lykaons were probably the latest in a lonnnnggg line of concepts he’s had to put down. And when combined with the, well, trendy way Ancients often approached creation I could understand his frustration.
The distinction between hunting for food and hunting for the desire just to shoot something alive comes to mind.
He must have been incredibly good at his job, given that he was being considered for - and eventually was granted the role of Fandaniel. I don't think one bad day should be enough to disqualify him from that, especially considering how well respected he was both by people in other fields and the people working under him.
