While it seems some people found out about Radagon and Marika, like the sculptor, it was a secret that even people who spent time with the two characters wouldn't have known. So under this interpretation, we can imagine that perhaps sometimes Marika was in charge of their godly body, and sometimes Radagon might be. We even get dialogue from Melina that quotes Marika as she speaks directly to Radagon. Radagon and Marika are pretty distinct in their ideas and motivations, and Radagon even headed off and started a family in Liurnia. Or maybe they were always two halves of the same person, sort of like split personalities. As we've discussed, it seems Marika's faith in the Greater Will and her own Golden Order started to wane at some point meanwhile, Radagon was extremely dedicated to the faith, with Marika referring to him as the " leal hound of the Golden Order." So the Greater Will and the Two Fingers might have magically combined them as a way to keep control over their god, tempering Marika's diminishing faith with Radagon's fundamentalism. Maybe Marika and Radagon started out as different people, and were merged together at some point. There are lots of thoughts on this point, and they differ greatly. We're not entirely sure if Marika and Radagon were always the same person, especially given Radagon's maybe-giant heritage and his previous relationship with Rennala. You can find that statue in Leyndell, and using a Golden Order incantation that Sir Gideon can give you, it's possible to reveal the truth-that Radagon and Marika are the same person. Miriel, the Pastor of Vows who is a tortoise for some reason, gives you hints about this in Liurnia, telling you about a sculptor who was commissioned to create a statue of Radagon, and in so doing, discovered the "skeletons" in Radagon's closet and hid Radagon's secret in the statue. If you work through the quest line for Brother Corhyn, a blind Tarnished Golden Order clergyman, and the Tarnished fundamentalist Goldmask, you might come across this revelation earlier in the game. Though it's a bit confusing in context, this is actually a huge moment-although, like everything else, it's one that's not completely understood. But she's also Radagon, who apparently is not imprisoned by the Greater Will, making the dichotomy even more confusing. You find Marika crucified and stabbed with a spear, and throughout the game she is depicted as a martyr. Her blonde hair turns a bright flaming red, and she stands not as Queen Marika, but as the Golden Order fundamentalist champion, Radagon. Even as you watch, though, Marika changes before your eyes. She is the living vessel of the Elden Ring, and we find her crumbling and broken just like the Elden Ring itself, suggesting that shattering the Elden Ring wasn't without a cost to Marika. The bonds break, dropping Marika to the ground. (Hey, are you getting the Jesus references, or are they too subtle?) As you enter, you see Marika, bound in what looks like a Rune Arc-one of those chunks of the Elden Ring you can use as a consumable item to empower your Great Runes-and stabbed through the chest with another chunk of what looks like the same thing.
