(ELDEN RING AU)

Messmer is a tall slender toned man with broad shoulders and long blood red hair, he is accompanied by a red two headed snake wrapped around his body. He uses flames and wields a large spear, he is on equal terms to his siblings Miquella and Malenia as Demi-gods but is the forgotten child of Queen Marika in the lands of Shadow

In the past, Messmer was once a loyal follower and warlord under Marika's rule, assisting her in waging wars that led to brutal outcomes and bloodshed. However, he came to learn that this was deliberately done so that he would take the blame, leading him to becoming a detested figure by many, before being forgotten by history entirely. As a result, he has since come to hate Marika and everything that represents her, seeking nothing but to destroy everything in her name. Despite this, he is still bound by his loyalty to the Golden Order and tasks himself to take out the Tarnished, in spite of having no real animosity towards them. He also appears to have a compassionate side for others, most notably for Radahn and Gaius, viewing the two as his elder brothers. He also holds a room filled with Living Jars, where he looks after them with tender care

Messmer is a Son of Marika the Eternal and Radagon of the golden order. He was afflicted with a curse at his birth, in which a dark and malevolent snake threatened to eat him from the inside. Out of fear of it being released, Marika sealed it away within his body by plucking his eye out and replacing it with a seal of grace on it

Messmer was later exiled to the Land of Shadow after Marika decided to have him wage war on those who resided there, as they do not bear the light of grace nor the grace of gold. As he waged a destructive war unseen by those in the Lands Between, Messmer burned anything in his path through his army and his magical flame. In addition, he would impale many of his victims on pikes, earning the cognomen, "The Impaler"
