Proctor Mercury
MinorProctor Mercury's cherub face peeks from beneath a snarling wolf mask, his pudgy form armored like a mythic trickster. Those scarred cheeks and wheezing breath carry a deceptive innocence twisted with menace. He looms as a gilded predator, cold ambition in every armored step.
Proctor Mercury, the pudgy cherub-faced Peerless Scarred Gold known as Loki, emerges in Morning Star as a fleeting embodiment of the Society's crumbling elite. Clad in wolf-masked armor, he confronts the Rising's forces in a fierce clash only to be impaled through his pulseArmor by a razor, kneeling wheezing in defeat. His swift demise strips away another mask of Gold supremacy and signals a pivotal triumph for the rebellion. Across the series, Mercury serves as a symbolic casualty rather than a recurring figure, highlighting the vulnerability of the once-unassailable Peerless Scarred.
Physical Description
Pudgy and middle-aged with a cherub-like round face marked by Peerless scars on his cheeks, he wears ornate Gold armor featuring a wolf metal mask visage as Loki, complete with pulseShield and a razor at his hip, cloak flowing behind. Even on his knees with a razor embedded in his chest through the pulseArmor, his presence remains imposingly armored and dramatic.
