Birth chart
Mercer's chart at a glance
No canon birthday, so this is NEBO's take, read from his character.
NEBO's take
No birthday in the games. His personality says Virgo.
We ran Mercer through the same model that matches people to characters in the app, and looked at which chart gets him most often. It reads him as earth first, with restless fire on top: precise, controlling and very good at being trusted.
Canon

CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeVirgo
Virgo keeps the ledger. As Guild Master, Mercer runs a strict operation and knows what's in the vault.
- Moon
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeSagittarius
A Sagittarius Moon wants the big prize, not the daily take. He keeps looking at the next score.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeAries
No birth time in the games. First impression: a stern, no-nonsense Guild Master who gets straight to business.
- Mercury
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeVirgo
Virgo Mercury is exact. He talks like a man who has checked everything twice.
- Venus
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeVirgo
Virgo shows care through duty, which is how he plays the strict but caring leader.
- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeGemini
Gemini Mars wins by trickery, not force. The Skeleton Key, an artifact that opens any lock, is the perfect weapon for him.
What the games do give: a Guild Master who runs a tight ship and tracks every coin. A Virgo answer is to know where everything is.
