Ross. Ross always seems to be a messenger. When we first meet him he has travelled all the way north to Forres from Fife to report about a battle which has been going on down there. Later we see him bringing a warning to Lady Macduff and then as a messenger bringing the news of Lady Macduff's death to Macduff.
Ross is trying to comfort Lady Macduff because he sympathizes with her plight and wants to offer her some support in her time of distress. He knows that her husband has fled the country, leaving her vulnerable and alone, so he tries to provide her with some solace and assurance.

Ross !
Macduff blames himself for their death (because he left them unprotected).
Macduff escaped from Scotland, to join King Duncan's son Malcolm in England. He left his family behind, and without telling them anything of his departure. Ross visited Macduff's family just before they were killed by Macbeth's hired murderers. So Ross followed Macduff to England, and gave him the sorry news.
