Dumb? That barely describes him. Mest is a major hypocrite and an arrogant jackass. Ever since Natsu & Lucy supported the idea of negotiation with August, Mest was like are you two stupid and dumb? She's not trustworthy she'll betray us. And kept that attitude ongoing throughout the journey.

Yet at the most crucial point, it was he himself who betrayed Brandish, and it was he himself who did the most stupid act of all. To make things worst, he acted like i'm the one who's correct, you two (Natsu & Lucy) are the ones who are mistaken.

The way Mest acted makes him even worst than most villains in this series.
