Mercutio is one of the characters in the book that isn't a part of the Montague or the Capulet family. He is the Prince's cousin, but that doesn't matter much for the plot of the story. What mainly matters is that he is one of Romeo's best friends and he mostly fights for the Montagues because of that relationship with Romeo. Nobody knows how old he is exactly, but since he is Romeo's friend, he is probably in his late teens like Romeo. Mercutio's personality is basically that he is the funny, silly character. He makes all the inappropriate jokes in the story and some of them are really mean. So, he's that guy that doesn't care if it's mean, he will say it if it's comical. He is also a pretty loyal and great friend to Romeo. He fights for Romeo and looks out for for him, often giving him advice too.
