Notes:

Hank is a world-renowned art thief (in his mind); he was (ironically) hired by the latest Apollo to steal Caduceus and become Hermes.

Hermes takes on the form of a young boy to throw off suspicion.

Like most “immortals,” upon death he is reborn into another body, usually a relative. Their scared item (or totem) activates their “god form.”

He bleeds ichor, golden blood.
