Messmer the Impaler
Here we have the only new, named character confirmed in the DLC: Messmer the Impaler. Miyazaki tells IGN that he is a “key figure,” who is seen at the end of the trailer to be sitting in a “throne-like chair.” “People who’ve played the game may recognize this throne to be one of those from the boss room where you battle Morgott. And this represents the thrones at the base of the Erdtree.” Miyazaki says this symbolizes that Messmer is of equal power to other demigods and “children of Marika,” and since the character says “mother” in the trailer, we can assume he’s probably her kid.
He’s also probably got a Rune Arc on him, the bastard.
