Hawkwood

Lore

Hawkwood is a deserter of the renowned Farron Undead Legion. He sits at Firelink Shrine.

One of the Unkindled, yet already crestfallen, he has no ornamentation beyond his Undead Legion armor and greatsword. In the dark version of the shrine, his sword can be found resting against a tombstone where he prays, which is either his own or he is simply paying his respects to some former comrade.

Theories

Connection to Artorias the Abysswalker

His sword is an almost exact replica of Artorias's. This may be evidence of the Undead Legion existing to honor the Wolf Knight's legacy.

The unique swordsmanship of the Watchers does not normally allow for the use of shields. The unique swordsmanship of the Watchers would not allow such a shield, and Hawkwood's very possession of it was telltale of his defeat.
