I do remember seeing on the dreaded red app some people seeing the "Messmer mourned the loss of a brother-in-arm" quote and the fact that he didn't execute Andreas and Huw as a sign of being merciful but also like. His treatment of them is the opposite of having mercy. He quite literally entombed them alive and left them to starve to death alone if not for the company of stone statues and sorcerers long gone mad

#there is a trend with messmer's character that he DOES have the capacity to be a deeply empathetic person #(him genuinely caring about andreas and huw giving or the jarred shamans nursery or his whole complex for marika)#but also all this empathy is just... drowned by all the terrible acts he does or permits to be done by his troops #like. fort of reprimand. serpent whip (which also ironically parallels what hornsent subjected shamans to)#even like. leaving romina alive (he was likely aware of her existance) but after quite literally razing her church to the ground #the masses of hanged people on trees. the masses of impaled people #whatever the fuck happened to grandam like holy shit granny you ok #he likely feels bad about all of this but also #lets it happen because he constantly justifies himself with 'this is justice for mother this is what she ordered i'm doing it for her'#[grrm goggles on] something something the kingsguard dilemma #sorry its. 2 am. i'll go eep now byee
