Lord's Blade Ciaran

Lore

Ciaran is one of the Four Knights of Gwyn who laid waste to Gwyn's enemies through assassination and subterfuge.

After the death of Knight Artorias in Oolacile, she is found paying her respects to her friend. She requests that the player give her the Soul of Artorias in exchange for her two weapons, the Dark Silver Tracer and Gold Tracer.

Her dialogue and the fact that her Hornet Ring is found behind Artorias' grave on a female corpse in the base game implies that she was very close to the fallen knight and possibly had feelings for him.

Her armor description implies that she was the leader of the Lord's Blades.

Cut Dialogue

Alternate Dialog where she would have made remarks if the Wolf Ring or the Soul of Artorias was in the players inventory, as well as imply that Marvellous Chester has stolen the ring.

Human…
Why have you the ring of Artorias?/ Why have you the soul of Artorias?
I am Ciaran, and that is a keepsake. / That ring… It was purloined by a man in a long coat…
I know not how you came upon it, but its owner met his death here.
He was a dear companion, and I wish to return the ring to his grave.
Would you be willing to part with it?

Hawkeye Gough's cut dialogue suggests that she indeed had strong feelings towards Artorias:

I should confere… If thine was the blade to which Artorias fell…
Then thou must be wary of Ciaran.
She had strong feelings for the great Artorias.
The poor, poor girl.
