𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐉 𝐬𝐨𝟔 𝐋𝐒𝐈 𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐌𝐄𝐑 I've been looking forward to learning more about Messmer for a long time, and I'm really happy with the way Shadow of the Erdtree characterizes him. I understand the INTJ vibe-typing, but I come bearing the truth ^_^ Messmer was charged with executing every entity "bereft of light" by order of his mother Marika, and he continued to do so zealously even after Marika stopped communicating with him completely. He's overly concerned with this goal in his loyalty and devotion to his mother, even wishing for "maledictions, ire, and grief" to be directed towards himself and not Marika in an almost selfless way. It's all very sad if you think about it, since she made her own son into a symbol of heresy to direct it away from herself... but I digress. Messmer has a strong emphasis on adherence to his mother's orders and seems extraordinarily stuck in his past experience with her (Si base), seeing as he fulfills his duties no matter how long it's been since his last exchange with her. She completely abandoned him and Messmer still prevails in his crusade. His functions are clear to me in his actions; he leads with Si, as mentioned before, and he bases this off of external systems (Te) while valiantly keeping his mother's secrets, suggesting his internal values (Fi). He also seems to have little sympathy for exceptions, too, which is a common trait in ISTJs— despite many of the residents of the Land of Shadow being similar to him, outcasts, he shows no mercy in his campaign. Messmer doesn't accept the reality of his situation until it is far too late, unfortunately; only at the very end of his life does he allow himself to curse Marika's name (which I might add is well deserved). As for his Enneagram, I think so6 fits Messmer perfectly because of his relationship with Marika. He completely puts his own wishes aside until his last breath, instead focusing all of his efforts into doing what Marika asked of him. A quote that I've seen often in descriptions of Social Sixes is "I become what you expect from me." I think there is a lot of symbolism that comes with Messmer's eye being ripped out and replaced with a seal by his own mother in order for her to remove the threat that he posed to her — his banishment definitely had to do with that fear of hers as well. It seems to me like his own wants were trapped inside of him after such a traumatic event. He very dutifully followed Marika's orders to purge the Land of Shadow, and he couldn't bring himself to let others blame her, allowing himself to be hated in her stead. A common trait within Social Sixes is an excess of guilt and an "over-conscience" that results from taking on so much responsibility. I could be swayed to sx1 as well if any of my characterization about him turns out to be false, but I gathered up as much info as I could after playing. I'm excited to watch all of the lore videos in the coming months~!
