Mesmer the Impaler (Elden Ring)

Messmer the Impaler is an Elden Ring character with a complex and contradictory personality, marked by his loyalty to the Golden Order and his abandonment by his mother, Queen Marika.

However, he also shows compassion toward his brothers in arms and even the fallen, cared for by the Living Jars. Key characteristics of his personality Loyalty and Sense of Duty: Messmer is deeply committed to the mission Marika entrusted him with, to purge the inhabitants of the Shadow Realm, despite this order becoming meaningless after being abandoned. Split Personality: He is capable of being cruel and ruthless in combat, while in battle he also shows compassion for his followers and other characters.

Feelings of betrayal and abandonment: His personality is marked by his abandonment by Marika. After his defeat, he realizes he's been used as a tool by his mother and curses her in his final moments. Conflicting Personality: Although the game doesn't fully explore his personality, it can be perceived that there is a conflict between his loyalty and his role as a figure of oppression, and his true nature of compassion.

Introduction Mangy intruder. You are a lightless one, it seems. Mother, does your true lordship sanction to someone so stripped of light? Still..., my purpose has not changed. Those who are deprived of the gift of gold must face death... In the embrace of Messmer's flame.

Those who are deprived of the gift of gold must face death... In the embrace of Messmer's flame. Entering the second phase:

Uag... arg... I don't intend to suffer... In front of a man without light. Oh, mother, forgive me. Graa! A-arg... Whew... Phew... Coming soon, Sinluz... You will perish in the jaws... From the dark serpent of the abyss. After defeating the player in the second phase:

Oh, creature devoid of light... Let yourself fall into oblivion, just as I will. After the fight:

Mother... Márika... A curse... will fall upon you...

Grades Messmer, like his siblings Malenia and Miquella, was also born cursed. It's unknown exactly when he was born, whether before or after his siblings, as his mother erased all mention of him after she abandoned him in the Shadow Realm. The description of Messmer's Tinder mentions that "Messmer, like her younger sister, carries the vision of fire," referring to Melina. Just as Melina serves as tinder to burn the Golden Tree, Messmer also had tinder capable of burning a tree.

Shadow of the Erdtree Events Eventually, an intruder invaded Messmer's castle, the Shadowhold, and was discovered by the demigod's snakes, who identified him as a Lightless One. Though surprised that a Lightless One had arrived in the Shadow Realm, Messmer attacked him to continue enforcing the purge. However, the serpentine demigod finds himself struggling to defeat the Lightless One. Unwilling to accept "a lord devoid of light" and desperate to regain the upper hand, Messmer ripped the seal from Márika and unleashed the power of the Abyss Serpent, allowing him to frequently transform into a massive serpent. Nonetheless, the Lightless One managed to deliver a fatal blow to Messmer. Realizing that his mother had truly abandoned him, Messmer used his last breath to curse Márika.

Messmer was the son of Queen Márika the Eternal. He was born with a dark serpent within him that threatened to consume him, which Messmer referred to as the Serpent of the Abyss. Márika was able to contain its influence after tearing out one of Messmer's eyes and replacing it with a Seal of Grace. From his cursed birth, Messmer was in the constant company of the winged serpents.[2]

Before the Searing, Messmer was tasked by his mother with purging the inhabitants of the Shadow Realm who did not bear the light of Grace. Afterward, Messmer was abandoned in the Shadow Realm, but he continued to zealously enforce the purge even though Márika ceased all contact with him. Among his army, Messmer considered Black Knight Commander Andreas and Black Knight Captain Huw his brothers in arms, but they eventually rebelled upon discovering his serpentine nature.
