He's just kind of there, sure he smiled during the Fall of Beacon but I will bet my last lien that he didn't imagine getting wrapped into all this. I would like to see Em get a redemption but...as you said gay for Cinderella. But that is reason for her to betray her in a redemption arc... Mercury could turn for cash as a maybe but his odds of survival are better with Salem than against her and that would require the Ozluminati be able to procure funds for and want to fund an unreliable double agent... I doubt they could manage it unless it's sometime after Salem and it's a specific job he completes then goes back to being an antagonist/antihero mercenary.
