Messers, known only by his first name, was a thin, sallow fellow who fancied himself quite the ladies man. A lieutenant of House DeRichter, he was a pirate through and through. Messers operated as Valons DeRichter’s eyes and ears around River's Rest and was the liaison for House DeRichter when Haniks Hallower made an allegiance with them to capture Casler. Messers’ involvement in this allegiance resulted in the kidnapping and death of Cerianna Lefante.

Prior to the kidnapping plot, and after “another DeRichter strong arm showed up in the Tempest swimmin' with his head the wrong direction,” Messers was assigned to recruit for House DeRichter. This was necessary because of the toll being taken on the house by Casler Huntington’s vigilante campaign. Messers’ offers did interest some town residents and his recruiting was successful. New recruits were given an armband to mark their service to House DeRichter, at least one was known to have been branded however. Messers and his recruits were responsible for torturing and killing town residents who showed themselves hostile to his and the DeRichters' mission.

Messers and his recruits were also involved in Cerianna’s kidnapping.

Messers’ nemesis

Messers’ nemesis was Tholn Ninespears, a giant of the Issimir Clan. Tholn and Messers had many public disputes in town. Once Messers had Tholn kidnapped and held in cell in the Warren.
