Episodes

5.19 Hammer of the Gods

A police officer visits a decimated structure, surveying the area. During his search, a dead flower mysteriously blooms at the presence of a god. Then suddenly, Mercury appears and converses with him, eventually killing the officer. Mercury rebuilds the decimated building, creating a modernized hotel called Elysian Fields Hotel. His activities and contributions include managing the guests, signing them in or out. At Kali's request, he retrieves blood samples of Dean and Sam, and gives them to Kali. He then calls Lucifer and tells him to come to the hotel. When Lucifer appears, he kills Mercury.

Mercury in Lore

Mercury was a messenger, and a god of sex, the son of Maia Maiestas and Jupiter in Roman mythology. Note, however, in lore, the gods of Olympus detest human sacrifice, whereas Mercury is seen with the other gods eating humans.
