Sirris, of the Sunless Realms

Lore

Sirris, former servant of the Divinity, appears in Firelink Shrine after meeting Anri.

If you give the Dreamchaser's Ashes to the Handmaid, Sirris will start a new dialogue with you and teach you the Darkmoon Loyalty gesture. After killing Aldrich, a unique Budding Green Blossom will appear in the Shrine Handmaid's inventory with a special notation that reads: "Good-bye, dear Grandmother. I will visit Grandfather, in the Pit of Hollows." Not only does this imply the Handmaid is Sirris's grandmother, but also that Holy Knight Hodrick is her Grandfather. If you follow here there, she will enlist your help in killing Hodrick because he is mad.

If you support Rosaria, Sirris will turn her back to you. Also, killing Company Captain Yorshka will cause Sirris to end all communication with you.

Theories

The Dreamchaser's Ashes

+ Expand

It is likely that these are the ashes of Sirri's Grandfather as he wears tatty Farron Armour that looks similar to the Abyss Watchers and Hawkwood. The Shrine Handmaid is Sirri's Grandmother as hinted at by the Budding Green Blossom. She doesn't have very nice things to say about this Ash, possibly because she's mad as her husband for leaving her to try and join Farron's Legion and then dying.

Dialogue

+ Expand

First encounter dialogue
"Mm, you're an Unkindled, aren't you.
I am Sirris, of the Sunless Realms, former servant of the Divinity.
Duties we each bear, but one's duty is a solitary affair.
I doubt we've much to gain from fraternisation.
Blessing of the moon upon your journey."

Second encounter dialogue
"Hello again.
I have since heard a great deal about you.
For one, that you are most gentle of heart.
I, too, am bound by duty, but can offer you my sign.
I hear that cordial intrusion lays the path to embers.
If I can be of help, by all means, do call upon me.
Blessing of the moon upon your journey."

Third encounter dialogue
"Mm, I have not thanked you, for your generous rescue.
That Dark Spirit was one of Rosaria's Fingers. Vile bastard offspring who lurk in the darkness.
My sworn enemies.
Fearsome invaders, to say the least.
I would not have made it alone. You have my deepest gratitude."

Fourth encounter dialogue
"Oh, there you are.
I'm afraid I've involved you in my affairs, over a little promise, at that.
My sincerest thanks for your assistance.
At last, my grandfather will rest in peace, and I can die.
But there is…one last thing.
May I take a vow? To serve you, as a knight."

[Accept dialogue]
"Oh, I am most grateful.
I, Sirris, do hereby serve as your faithful knight.
Wherever, whenever, I am needed, and even if all should turn against you…
My loyalty shall never waver.
Blessing of the moon upon your journey."

[Decline dialogue]
Farewell then.
Blessing of the moon upon your journey."

When fought after joining Rosaria's Fingers:
"An arrant Finger you've become.
Very well, I shall cut each Finger from the hand."

While dying
"Forgive me… grandfather."
