Biography

Dark Souls

Ornstein was one of Lord Gwyn's most trusted knights, and the first knight chosen to serve as his Four Knights of Gwyn, the others being Artorias, Gough, and Ciaran. Believed to be the captain of the Four Knights of Gwyn, he was granted a special soul and Leo Ring by the Lord of Sunlight to enhance his abilities.

His golden armor was made to resemble a lion and imbued with the power of lightning. His spear had the power to launch an opponent in the air and enough force to slice a boulder in two. After the gods fled Anor Londo, Ornstein guarded Gwynevere in the cathedral alongside Executioner Smough, but the two were defeated by the Chosen Undead.

Despite his presumed death at the hands of the Chosen Undead, Ornstein eventually left the cathedral to Smough in search of the Nameless King. It is unclear how Ornstein survived the battle, leaving speculations that the one defeated by the Chosen Undead was only an illusion or puppet created by Dark Sun Gwyndolin.

Dark Souls II

A character known as the Old Dragonslayer appears as an optional boss in the Cathedral of Blue. He highly resembles Ornstein and has a near-identical moveset, but embodies the Darkness instead of lightning. The Collector's Edition guide confirms that this is Ornstein, or at best, something else that mimics the dragon slayer. If this is Ornstein, he must have become consumed by the Darkness whilst searching for the Nameless King,
