The messiah bit here does not refer strictly the Judeo-Christianic one, but any character appointed by a god to do some Great Thing or a character who's otherwise powerful religious figure that fits that.

Powerful religious figure generally refers to unearthly power here, not charismatic or hierarchical power, unless that is somehow put to give them extraordinary capacity for enforcing change or things to happen.
