Previously, Merem was in Mayfield. For quite a long while too. Despite all the horrors and things that had been experienced, Merem has already lived such a long, long life. The time spent in game hasn’t changed him much, especially as he has experienced much of what the game could offer in real life. Despite that, he did up having a few small changes and even made a few ‘friends’ during his time in Mayfield.
First among his changes is that he grew a little more distant from Ciel. Her time spent interacting with others had, in Merem’s opinion, mellowed her out. She was no longer the person she used to be and Merem essentially grew bored of her, only retaking interest when something stupendous happened. Or if Ciel was forced to make a decision that had no good ending. It was the small things that ended up slightly changing their relationship.
Among other things, he did manage to become close to a few people. None of them were human, making it easier for Merem to get along with them. Still, it was a step forward as Merem had made only a very small amount of friends in his entire life. Being able to interact with those that did not exist in his world made things different and kept his eyes open on the new opportunities that could be presented to him.
Personality:
Merem, as a person who has lived since the dawn of humanity, has a very detached view of life. He is immortal, time means nothing, and he really cannot be hurt. As such, people dying or suffering means very little since it will end in the blink of an eye to him. Humanity also exists low on his scale of importance because they are like cows to him. They live a decent life and, in return, he feeds on them to keep living. This can be termed as cruel or insensitive but as a higher being, he can take such a view on life.
As a person, Merem describes himself as “wise and cool”, as if he's trying to be like his namesake King Solomon. He's not a super genius or capable of high speed calculations but long life has granted him much more. His interest in history and learning allows him to make very logical decisions based on the past experiences of others. He can often be found looking into an artifact or researching a past event to find out what exactly happened. Politics are very important to him since the other vampires often engage in intense political discussions to make decisions.
Many other vampires enjoy things to be boring or under control. Merem is the exact opposite. He absolutely loves it when the status quo is stirred up and everyone is thrown for a loop. This is one of the reasons why Merem enjoyed watching the actions of Roa because Roa often times made other vampires insecure of their own positions. But, out of all the vampires, he thinks Ortenrosse is an old fudge who never likes excitement and Vam-Fem is exciting because he spends his life with humans and adapts to their life style. It's also interesting to note that while Merem helps the Church, Gransurg Blackmore (he took his name from Edgar Allen Poe's Nevermore because Blackmore revers birds) helps the Mage's Association. Both of them support Arcueid.
On Arcueid, Merem is very stalwart. He is very much infatuated with her and was slightly frustrated to hear that she had taken Tohno Shiki as a lover. Merem believes that Arcueid will be succeeding the Crimson Moon so he backs her completely. A majority of the other vampires presume that Altrouge will succeed the Crimson Moon and that puts him at odds with the rest of them. During meetings, they often have verbal spars and he insults Altrouge by calling her the “false Princess”.
Merem often undertakes a different persona for those he is close with. With fellow workmates like Ciel or animals, Merem reverts to a more childlike manner, doing things much like a 12-14 year old would. He's often full of giggles and chortles and will prefer to play games over being serious. His relationship with Ciel is something of a odd infatuation, going as far as eating a co-worker to make sure he can be with her. It's almost as if he's a stalker but he keeps around her simply because she's interesting due to her conflicting beliefs. With her, he's always a bit more animated, allowing himself to have a more natural flow to himself than the Wise And Cool Merem everyone else sees.
Over all, with others, Merem is something of a jerk. Chaotic neutral, if you will. He loves teasing others to get a reaction and isn't afraid of any threats that fly his way. Well, “isn't afraid” isn't the proper word. He simply just doesn't care and brushes them off. He's very aware the the Church is using him for his abilities but he doesn't mind. In his opinion, he'll outlive the Church so let them do what they want. The same principle exists for others. As long as he's enjoying himself, he doesn't care who is actually taking advantage of him.
