A sadistic and ruthless man who finds enjoyment in torturing the Angeloids he owns, both physically and emotionally. He sees the Angeloids as merely his playthings to which he can do with as he pleases, and discards them while considering them nothing more than trash. Though because of his arrogant ways and believing that the Angeloids that serve him will obey his every order, he always reacts surprised when he witnesses one of them break their chain or go against his orders.
Hermes is a Brough Superior motorrad (a two-wheeled vehicle that cannot fly but moves in the direction it's pointed—in other words, a motorcycle) who travels around with Kino. Hermes provides the speed that allows them to go anywhere they wish. Aside from his speed and capacity for toting about large amounts of luggage (Kino never seems to travel light), Hermes doesn't really have many other qualities except for constantly mixing up quotes and complaining. He is also rather gullible, trusting Kino absolutely even when Kino is teasing him, which leads him to grumble and complain some more. Perhaps his most famous line is "I'm bored." The motorrad is in many ways naive and innocent, and acts very child-like, which tends to be a sharp contrast to Kino's more mature and worldly bearing. Still, Hermes is quite reliable and makes a good companion for long trips. In the Gakuen Kino off-shot series, he takes the form of a cell phone strap instead. (Source: kino.ming-ling.net)

He is the reason for Kanae's bad luck. He carries around a fan and has an affinity for miso.
The Fire Daimy� has a fickle and indecisive nature and is easily swayed in his decisions through biases as well as external influences. When situations call for fast, important decisions, he makes his advisers do the whole work: the one who convinces him most is the "winner". He seemingly had a liking for Jiraiya, wanting to choose him as the next Hokage, and was also impressed by Kakashi Hatake's reputation. (Source: Naruto.wikia)
