Personality: Nessiah really hates the gods. I mean really. Practically everything he does is meant, in the long run, to create conflict that will power up the Holy Sword that he can use to break the Chains of Conviction and go after the gods. The fact that a whole lot of people need to die for this to work? Not a problem. Bringing back someone's dear friend as a zombie to fight them? Done it twice in the games, once in the canon timeline. He's willing to turn traitor on people he was supposed to be leading and willing to use innocent Undines' affections for him to get the gem that keeps her people alive.
Aside from being incredibly ruthless, he's somewhat irritating to talk to. He's very smug, tends to giggle, and always is very polite while still being that smug. He doesn't care about petty things like mortal danger, food, or most people.
Despite all that, he's got a lot of pain built up from the unjust nature of his punishment. (Even one of the people he brought back as a zombie feels bad for him.) And he does develop actual fondness for certain people - there's a fair amount of Ship Tease in Yggdra Unison, a noncanon side game, for Nessiah and Gulcasa. There may possibly still be some of that person who refused to fight so long ago in Nessiah, but he'll deny it to the end. Other: As mentioned above, you can't kill Nessiah permanently except on Ancardia, which spends most of the series underneath the sea. He's also a very powerful magic user capable of summoning very powerful Astarte (technical term for undead warriors/zombies). Most of the time, he's limiting his power so that nobody's fallen angel alarms go off. I'm planning on taking him from before his introduction in Blaze Union. Additional Links: I can't find the YU script and the BU script was translated by hand by a friend of mine who doesn't want it reposted.

First Person (entry type): Hoh? This is quite an interesting book, and one I wasn't aware I had in my possession. If it's genuine, the magic used to operate it is something I've never seen before. Such things are becoming increasingly rare over the years.
...Well. It has been several weeks since I last had a visitor, so I should consider this a blessing. Boredom and I are well-acquainted, but I've never regarded it as a friend.
My name is Nessiah. At the moment, I am living in the heart of a forest, awaiting those who come to seek my council. I have a reputation as a prophet, you see.
Third Person: Of all the times that Nessiah had been killed, and there were many, many times over the hundreds of years he'd been alive, few of them were ones he considered particularly noteworthy. Some of them came from an error in judgment, others from an anomaly he could not have predicted.
Of all the times that Nessiah had been killed, there were some that were simply embarrassing to think about. Like the time that he'd traded insults with a knight known for his bloodlust, who had his entire unit behind him. That had been stupid. Nessiah maintained that he was drunk at the time, despite not remembering imbibing any alcohol, and would never do something like that in his proper state of mind.
Nothing else he ever was killed for was quite that embarrassing, so maybe he was right.
Nessiah cleared his thoughts. He had a visitor approaching, trudging slowly through the woods, and would need to be his usual mysterious self.
