[hr][b]Personality:[/b] [i]Once known as one of the most loyal, caring, and trustworthy knights of Gwyn. Artorias was regarded highly amongst the people of Lordran and the other knights of Gwyn.

Praised for his nobility, chivalry and goodness of heart. It was said that he was the most stubborn, most willful of Gwyn's knights; Artorias' will was unbending, his determination unbreakable in the face of danger. But he was also loved for his compassion to both his kingdom and it's people. Artorias is from an era from the distant past, when the world was yet still young and the light was still bright; a time of which was when olde english was spoken and commonplace. His will both helped yet also fed his hatred for the servants of the Dark, those aligned to the spread of the Abyss.[/i]

[b]Background:[/b] [i]One of Gwyn's most loyal knights, Artorias' is regarded as a hero of legend, his deeds widely spread throughout the land. Artorias was one of the four Knights of Gwyn, the commanding knights of Lord Gwyn's army.

Artorias had an unbendable will, a strength unmatched even by his peers, and legendary prowess with the mighty greatsword of wnich he was known to heft but in one hand without difficulty. He was first to discover the ability to traverse the Abyss, forming a covenant with beasts he was given a ring that kept the darkness from consuming him; he became known as the Abysswalker a title he would hold even in death. At what time did the Wolf Knight learn of Oolacile? Nothing is known of that, but that he and two of Gwyn's Knights went to the other kingdom's aid to fight the Abyss.

It was he himself, with Sif to stand by him that Artorias descended to fight the one who wielded the Abyss, a sorcerer by the name of Manus to put an end to the Dark once and for all...But in his final moments he became overwhelmed by the darkness, sacrificing his greatshield to protect his loyal lupine ally before losing consciousness and breaking his arm in the process of sacrificing himself to save his allies. He thought he would lose his mind, in the darkness of the Abyss but a twist of fate would change the course of history for better or for worse...[/i]
