Hermes
You may be looking for Hermes (The Life Bringer!).

Hermes was the messenger of the gods in Greek mythology. Considered the patron of merchants, messengers and thieves, he was a son of Zeus and sibling to Apollo, Athena, Artemis, Castor and Pollux, Dionysius, Hebe, Minos and Persephone. He used the alias Hermy during the 20th century. (PROSE: Deadly Reunion)

Hermes was born in 1662 BC or soon after. (PROSE: Deadly Reunion)

In a parallel universe, one where the effects of the reality bomb caused its stars to wink out, the ancient Greeks believed that the observable disappearances were Hermes stealing them as gifts for Aphrodite. (AUDIO: The Endless Night)

Hermes dwelt with the other Olympian gods in the Land of Fiction. He was one of many champions who were sent to kill Medusa but failed; the War Master later saw Hermes's stone form near Medusa's domain. (AUDIO: The Wrath of Medusa)

His equivalent in the Roman pantheon was Mercury. (PROSE: Byzantium!)
