| ~ Merak being confronted by Gunvolt. |
Being based on sin of sloth, Merak is known to be a slacker, apathetic, and has neither conviction, nor motivation, as only in Sumeragi office in order to get paid for vacation because it easily benefits him. He appears to be fond of escapistic activities such as playing video games, and he has a tendency to use some gamer slangs and sarcasm. However, he is a brilliant strategist and incredible genius, while also being ditzy. He is capable of using wormholes, from mundane stuffs, to elaborate good plans when he puts the effort in order to get rewarded. Compared to any Sumeragi Seven members, he is calmer and has more rational mindset. Because of his intellect as a child prodigy, he's chosen & scouted by Nova to the Sumeragi Group as one of the high-ranking officials.
Unlike Nova, who has grander goals by attempt to subjugate the Adepts because they can be dangerous people, Merak's goal was simply getting paid and some vacational days. He's so negligent that he doesn't bother caring about his drowning subordinates when he uses wormholes to create a water trap to drown gunvolt, resulting in flooding. He's also the accomplice behind Elise's experimentation, making him a deplorable villain.
