Dragon Slayer Ornstein

"Ornstein is believed to be the captain of the Four Knights."

- Part of the description of Ornstein's armor

Dragon Slayer Ornstein is one of the four knights that Gwyn, Lord of Sunlight, trusted the most. It is believed that he was the Captain of the four, and was granted the Leo Ring, and a powerful Soul by his Lord.

Before the Age of Fire, Ornstein fought alongside Gwyn and the other Lords against the Everlasting Dragons, whose scales were that of stone. His spear pierced the hide of the dragons, and he sent lightning to course throughout their bodies. Even after the Age of Fire began, Ornstein continued to be of service to Gwyn and his children, while also continuing to hunt down and slay drakes and normal dragons, taking their heads to be mounted as trophies within the Cathedral of Anor Londo. When Gwyn left to prolong the life of the First Flame, Ornstein stayed to guard Anor Londo and the illusion of Gwyn's beautiful daughter, Gwynevere. He would be joined by Executioner Smough in this duty.
