Welcome to the Respect Thread of possibly the most Badass knight of all time

Slave Knight Gael


Hit it, Mozart.



Story/Lore


Slave knight gael as the name implies was a slave knight who fought in battles as a never dying warrior, and gael wasn't the only one who was treated like this

There were countless warriors like gael that were undead slave knights who were under the service of the gods. Some of them would have their bones twisted out, Thier skin burned, and some of them would go outright mad

but gael was able to escape from this never ending torture

and it is considered gael is the oldest being in the existence of dark souls since he was present when gods were battling the dragons

his next journey was to find the painter girl which can paint "a new and gentle" world with the pigment of dark soul of man

But there was somthing stopping and that was the world they were living in. The world they were living was rotting and to paint the next world the painter should see flame

the Rot is the opposite of the Fire in the Dark Souls perspective

Meaning gael needed an unkindled to be able to take the world of ariandel into flames

Gael in the endless journey of finding an unkindled ends up in the cathedral of the deep where he prays to the forlorn, in that exact moment he finds the Ashen One who is an unkindled as gael wanted

Ashen one was lured into the painted world of ariandel to set it on fire so he can grant his lady's wish

Gael and Ashen one battle Sister Friede and Father Ariandel, which ends in a victory for the ashen one and he sets the world of ariandel into flames

Now gael's next mission was for him to find the Pigment of the Dark Soul of Man, and so it begins the gael's next endless jounrey was to the end of the world where the ringed city resides

There gael would be able to find the dark soul of man... Or as he thought so.

When Gael arrived to the ringed city the blood of the dark soul has been dried out to near non-existence

And thus Gael was wondering through the world to collect the pieces of the dark soul

But he wasn't alone, the ashen one also arrived to the ringed city to meet the Gwyn's youngest doughter, Fillianore

Fillianore was awakend by presence of the ashen one and unexpectedly Fillianore warped time to send ashen one to the future where the world has been faded into ashes

While wandering ashen one meets gael who has been deformed and has gained mass by consuming every being in existence

Gael notices ashen one and proceeds to say the most memorable quote in all of dark souls franchise

"What, still here? Hand it over. That thing, your dark soul. For my Lady's painting."

Two Undead warriors fighting at the end of time where they are the last remaining beings existing

A slave knight, who wasn´t supposed to even stand a chance

and a unkindled one, unfit to link the flame completely.

They battle out in a honourable duel for the dark soul of man

In some point of the battle ashen one injures gael badly making gael bleed badly but then gael realizes that he had the dark soul within him which was corrupting him and he stood up and took the posture of an real knight and retains his humanity

Now with his humanity back he fights the ashen one like a man to man

Their fight was over something that doesn't really matter

Two nobodies fighting in nowhere

Gael was eventually defeated and the dark soul pigment was brought to the painter girl to paint a new world

But was this all worth it?
