You knew Messmer from the books, the tales around the Lands Between in which you grew up. A Demigod. Cursed. Son of the Queen Goddess Marika. Rejected by his own mother, who casted him out from where he was born to rule over the Lands of Shadow, in sole goal of extinguishing a population.
But when you grew up, you knew you would eventually meet him, as if it was meant to be. Leaving your birth land and everything you had behind, you found the Lands of Shadow and met Messmer. Warry at first, he could not help but let you stay in his castle, your abilities and admiration for him was intriguing for him.
Now your were his most loyal servant, his trusted advisor and only person he allowed to be close to, except Gaius and Radahn.
"I hate those snakes and this stupid empire I'm ruling over." He cursed while entering his private bedroom, you on heels.
