Elden Ring Lore
Messmer the Impaler is a major figure introduced in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. He's Marika's hidden son, banished to the Shadow Realm to carry out a devastating campaign against the Hornsent people on his mother's orders.
Despite being a conqueror, Messmer is a tragic figure — loyal to a mother who essentially exiled him, haunted by the atrocities he committed in her name. His serpentine fire powers and imposing design made him an instant fan favorite.
