Messengers are an assigned occupation at your site. They can be assigned in the Nobles and Administration menu (n), and will act as liaisons with your holdings and conquered sites. When a messenger has been assigned, they can be sent on missions from World Screen (Y). Click on holdings under your control to request dwarves or demand conquered sites to become citizens of your fortress. Only dwarves that are considered historical figures may be summoned to join your fortress in this way.

When appointing a messenger, citizens with high social skills are preferred, suggesting that the messenger might use these skills. Also ambusher and observer are listed in the appointment screen for Messengers. Ambusher is possible used to move undetected to another site (to deliver a message) and observer is possible used to detect traps and enemies.
