Personality[]
Once a loyal soldier of Edoras, Mesara was exiled by King Pardis for petty reasons and has since loathed him. Desperate to make a living, he became a bandit, and was especially hostile with victims hailing from Edoras.
Story[]
Before the current events. Mesara was a soldier serving in the Edoras army. On one occasion the troop to which he belonged returned victorious from a battle, but the attitude of the troop captain was disrespectul towards the King Pardis III, since when he should have been bowed before the King, the captain had visual contact with the monarch and briefly forgot his manners. That was enough for Pardis to order his immediate execution and to exile every soldier of the troop out of the country. Mesara was forced to become a bandit to survive, along with some of his exiled comrades.
Master of All[]
He and his fellow bandits ambushed the Chosen One and Lebrandt while they were looking for a flower for Princess Alaune in the Gray Grotto. Recognizing Lebrandt's crest as a citizen of Edoras, Mesara demanded money in exchange of their life. When Mesara got into a battle pose, Lebrandt recognized his stance and asked if he was from Edoras too, but Mesara attacked them instead of answering.
Once defeated, Lebrandt asked him why a swordsman like him isn't serving the king. The bandit answered he would rather die than serve Pardis again, and tells him his story before asking him to kill him, assuring he's got no intention of quitting his bandit lifestyle. His last words before being struck down were the promise that he would witness Pardis' demise from Hell.
