Dragonslayer Ornstein

Lore

Ornstein is believed to be the captain of the Four Knights of Gwyn.
He stands guard in the Anor Londo cathedral, alongside Executioner Smough, protecting the princess Gwynevere.

Lord Gwyn split some of his Lord Soul and gave it to his four most trusted knights, including Ornstein's Soul. Gwyn also gave them special rings; Ornstein receiving the Leo Ring.

His golden armor was made to resemble a lion and was imbued with the power of lightning. It is said that his lugged spear could slice a boulder in two. After the gods fled Anor Londo, Ornstein guarded its cathedral alongside Executioner Smough.

At some point, Ornstein left the cathedral in search of the Nameless King. It is unclear how Ornstein survived the battle against the Chosen Undead, but it appears he eventually found his way to Archdragon Peak. However, the results of his search, as well as Ornstein's own fate, remains unknown.
