The Messiah is Maeltinet under the service of Beliar.
The Messiah is a bloated spirit apparently made in image of its master, and it in the center of Wounds where it oversees the actions of any number of lesser spirits. Like the middle of a diseased web, the Maeltinet binds hundreds of spirits into its service. If the Messiah is present somewhere in an Uratha hunting ground, the werewolves are likely to discover that every single spirit for several miles either knows of the Messiah's existence, owes it at least nominal allegiance or serves it outright. The Maeltinet is generous with its Essence, and leeches it from nearby loci with the specific intent to feed it to other spirits.
The fat, mutated and monstrous octopus sits in a pool of tainted Essence, and feeds other spirits with it dozens of greasy tentacles. The Messiah is incapable of evasion or any real movement past slowly hauling its corpulent, grey body across the ground. Its power lies in its intelligence and cunning, for the Messiah is capable of orchestrating the actions of a great many spirits at once. If a Forsaken pack fins the spirits of a Wound suddenly acting with precision and cohesion, it might just be that the Messiah is hidden somewhere in their domain, diligently ensuring that the Maeljin continue to be fed.
