Mercury was the Roman god of messengers. He was the desk clerk of the Elysian Fields Hotel in which the other Deities gathered to discuss the Apocalypse. He was the one who obtains blood from Sam and Dean, so Kali could bind them to her. He betrayed their location (and thus the location of the Winchesters) to Lucifer, resulting in his murder, alongside nearly all the other deities, save for Kali, who was saved by the archangel Gabriel.

He later greets Sam and Dean as they enter the hotel, and takes blood from them without them noticing.
Lucifer eventually arrives himself, as Mercury had tipped him off to the Winchesters' location. Lucifer begins to explain how petty he finds the Pagan deities as they are always fighting and blaming things on themselves, claiming that they are worse than humans and demons and proceeds to snap Mercury's neck, killing him.[1]
