Talk:Mercury Black/@comment-24.140.136.244-20140727203028

The common theory is that Emerald joined Cinder because she sees her as a mother figure or protector, and I think it's safe to assume Roman joined to further his own criminal career, or because Cinder bullied him into it. But why Mercury? He doesn't really seem to have an agenda beyond snarking at everyone. My theory is that it has something to do with Emerald, like maybe they were both living on the streets together at one time, and when Emerald joined Cinder, having nothing better to do, Mercury followed. Of course, this is probably incredibly far from the truth, but I'm looking forward to hearing his backstory, nonetheless.
