Description

Gwyn, the Lord of Sunlight, had 4 elite knights under his command. Hawk-eye Gough, Dragonslayer Ornstein, The Lord's Blade Ciaran, and Artorias The Abysswalker. When Manus began infecting Oolacile with the dark Abyss, Artorias and his wolf companion Sif ventured to the city of light. Venturing into the Abyss, Sif and Artorias encountered swarms of black humanity phantoms in the depths. Quickly overwhelmed, Artorias sacrificed his enchanted greatshield to protect Sif and ventured forth. Artorias and Manus fought a devastating battle, ending when Artorias's left arm was broken. Artorias is left handed, and without the use of his dominant hand to wield his greatsword Manus quickly won the battle. Corrupted by the Abyss, Artorias is now nothing more than Manus's puppet, killing anything that moves. The Wolf Knight has fallen from grace, now is the time to put him down.

Manus, Father of The Abyss

Origin: Dark Souls (2011)

Type of Villain: Ancient Force/Tragic Villain

Goal: Revenge against the people of Oolacile

Description

In Lordran, the very first human was known as the Furtive Pygmy, who gained possession of the Dark Soul. Manus split the soul into millions of pieces, turning mindless hollows into humans. Ages after his death, Manus's body was unearthed and revived by the sorcerers of Oolacile, the birthplace of light sorceries. Tricked by a primordial serpent, the sorcerers brutally tortured Manus, breaking his body and mind. The Humanity inside Manus surged, creating a dark chasm known as the Abyss and transforming him into a mindless, hulking beast. The Abyss transforms humans into abominations, and cannot be removed or illuminated. What a tragic fate to befall the Pygmy. Once the father of humanity, now the father of the dark, corrupting Abyss.
