Even though we didn't get official confirmation about the Gloam-Eyed Queen, the Elden Ring DLC still gave us plenty of new clues about her identity. That includes new lore from Messmer and even the Putrescent Knight, which is labelled in the internal game files as "GloamEyedKnight."
In this video, I offer two theories for why Melina has that gloam eye in the Flame of Frenzy ending. I also make the case for why Messmer and Melina were most likely twins, why the congealed putrescence is related to the silver tears and the Godskins, and why the Gloam-Eyed Queen was chosen by the Three Fingers to oppose Marika.
So, who was the Gloam-Eyed Queen? Even though she's only mentioned in four item descriptions, the Gloam-Eyed Queen is one of the most impactful characters in Elden Ring. The Gloam-Eyed Queen led the Godskins and wielded black flame, which once had the power to slay gods. But the Gloam-Eyed Queen and her Godskins were ultimately defeated by Maliketh, who sealed away the true power of the black flame when he sealed away Destined Death, also known as the Rune of Death. The Gloam-Eyed Queen was also rumored to be an Empyrean, chosen by the Fingers, a rare status that would put her on par with Marika, Miquella, Malenia, and Ranni.
