7Asfi
A Gifted Magician With A Genius Intellect
Due to the nature of her familia’s god, who’ll leave his responsibilities and abscond to do as he pleases, Asfi had no other choice but to lead the Hermes familia, and she does it beautifully with her intellect. As the head adventurer of the Hermes familia, Asfi is a tactical genius. Like her god, she’s capable of manipulating situations to her advantage and even more capable of gathering information.
To complement her intellect, Asfiis well renowned in matters of magic, particularly when it comes to creating magic weapons.

Unlike many, Loki is highly adaptable and able to process new information. Her ability to think on her feet is exceptional. She doesn’t hold on to what was, or is supposed to be, but only what is, which plays a huge role in how she handles various situations.
3Hermes
A Master Of Secrets And Manipulation
Many would agree that no one keeps a secret like Hermes, Messenger God. While Hermes often presents himself with a calm and casual demeanor, he is anything but casual. He’s a skilled manipulator whoalways has others do his biddinghow he wants it done.
As a skilled information gatherer, Hermes uses the information to predict and drive certain events. He is a shrewd and cunning god that goes for what he wants, even bordering on villainy. In terms of Bell Cranel, Hermes often creates scenarios in which Bell has no choice but to become stronger, as he sets his eyes on turning Bell into the hero that will defeat the Black Dragon.
2Finn Deimne
His Battle Intelligence In Orario Is Unmatched
TheCaptain of the Loki Familiahas managed to effectively lead his familia over countless years by making use of his intelligence. As a sixth-level adventurer, Finn is considered Orario’s best strategist, and truly, when it comes to battle intelligence, few match up to the Pallum adventurer.
With his unique mind, Finn is able to process complex information and use it to his advantage. His abilities of deduction are also top-notch, as he can easily identify an opponent’s strengths and weaknesses with limited information. Combining his strength and intelligence, Finn is one adventurer that few would want to have on their bad side.
1Ouranos
The Architect Of Orario And Keeper Of Hidden Wisdom
Not a lot is known about the God Ouranos, but establishing the many complex systems in Orario and the structure of the Adventurer’s Guild requires a keen mind. As the head of the guild, Ouranos primarily stays in the Room of Prayer, using his divinity to keep monsters from leaving the dungeon.
Despite having done that in seclusion for over a thousand years, Ouranos remains highly flexible and adaptable. He believed, like Bell,that the Xenos could co-exist with adventurers. This deity is a master at keeping a low profile, but all over Orario, nuggets of his wisdom are seen in the city’s very structure and already established systems.
