Pontiff Sulyvahn

Lore

Pontiff Sulyvahn discovered Irithyll. He was directly connected to Aldrich and was the one that imprisoned Gwyndolin to be devoured by Aldrich.

Pontiff Sulyvahn bestowed a special ring upon his knights. The ring caused those who peered into the black orb upon it to be lured into battles of death, transformed into frenzied
beasts. These rings were only granted to those knights who were dispatched to foreign lands.

A statue in a courtyard on the High Wall of Lothric bears some clues that suggest it may represent Sulyvahn, giving us a clear look at his face. The figure is depicted wielding what appears to be the Profaned Greatsword, and wears bracelets almost identical to the ones worn by Sulyvahn in his boss fight. It has been pointed out that the statue also appears to wear Prince Lothric's unique robe. From the Reddit post found here.
