Ermete was a dwarven member of the Black Swan. He perished during the battle on Mount Everest in Everblaze. Several other dwarfs died during this battle, such as Irja and Kun. Other dwarfs were critically injured, such as Yegor, who was in "critical condition" during Neverseen and later died.
The Black Swan passed Ermete's former residence to Tam and Linh Song during Neverseen as Tam and Linh needed to be relocated to someplace with better living conditions.
