The description of his armor in DS3 reveals that, in actuality, he left Anor Londo to find TNK. If he existed in Anor Londo, despite being present at Archdragon Peak, then he may have been an illusion of Gwyndolin to preserve the idea that a knight of Gwyn was guarding the cathedral.

Interestingly, there is no body at the monestary, so whether or not he lives is unknown.

You also recive a soul from the "illusion" if you kill it last in the first game, so perhaps the knight left his own godhood behind like TNK had to before, or the soul itself could also really be an illusion.
