Vito the Moonlight Knight

Lore

One of the high-ranked knights of the Church which ventured to the Valley of Defilement. It is unknown whether Vito accompanied Astraea on her pilgrimage or if Vito arrived after the coming of the Deep Fog when rumors spread that Astraea had become a Demon. The epithet "Moonlight Knight" comes from the large sword of moonlight, a transparent blue crystal sword, one of the few Revelations from God, which Vito wielded in battle. Vito's weapon is found deep inside the Giant Slug's nest in the Valley of Defilement. Next to the nest is a corpse with a legendary hero's soul, this is believed to be the corpse of Vito. Also nearby is a giant slug which has swallowed a set of dull gold armor, leading to speculation that Vito may have been a female knight like Selen Vinland.

Theories

Vito as a Phantom

+ Expand Theory

The black phantom in ragged robes in Valley of Defilement may be the corrupted soul of Vito, the Moonlight Knight. On the opposite end of the swamp is a Phosphorescent Slug which has swallowed a body clad in dull gold armor, the armor of a high-ranking female holy knight. Nearby the slugs have also dragged the Large Sword of Moonlight, Vito's sword, into their nest. Also, right next to the nest is a corpse containing a Legendary Hero's Soul. The Moonlight sword, like the Meat Cleaver, is the weapon of a person with faith, however, since the Moonlight sword is a holy revelation from God, I doubt it can be wielded by such a corrupted soul. This would require the black phantom to use a different, more sinister weapon, and a Meat Cleaver fits that description.

In this scenario, Vito would have been overwhelmed by Giant Slugs driven to aggression by the Deep Fog and attracted to the light of the Moonlight sword. After the attack, one of the snails absorbed her armor while the rest formed a nest around the sword near her corpse. That the sword is one of the holy revelations from God also explains why Vito's corrupted soul would patrol as far away from it as possible on the other side of the swamp.
