Martin insists, no, he didn't name Elden Ring's bosses after his initials
"I suspect that I have been giving characters names beginning with R and G and M since the start." News by Matt Wales Reporter Updated on 21 Mar 2022 21 comments Last week, there was a faint flutter in Elden Ring circles after fans spotted a cute little detail: that George R. R.

Martin appeared to have inserted himself into the game while writing its background lore by naming all its major players - who you'll inevitably encounter as bosses at some point or other - after his own initials. In response, the Game of Thrones author has now taken to the internet to dismiss the theory as being all a bit daft. In fairness, it's a compelling notion; as a cursory glance at Elden Ring's character list will quickly reveal, four of the most significant players in the game's lore all have names beginning with either the letters G, R, or M - there's Godfrey, for instance, Rennala, Radagon, and Marika.

Along with the other twenty-three letters of the alphabet as well." "Coming up with names is hard, especially since A Song of Fire & Ice uses so many of them, and I am fond of giving family members and close kin names that have something in common...but really, why would I have to hide my name inside the game? My name is right there ON the game, as one of the creators. Hey, Elden Ring is exciting enough, no need to make up stuff." But while one Elden Ring mystery may now have been solved, plenty more still remain.
