Pharis

'Pharis 'is a mentioned character in Dark Souls.

Backstory
Pharis is described as a heroic archer that ranked beside Hawkeye Gough, despite his status as a human. He is likely to have perished in Darkroot Garden as a Forest Hunter there can be seen wearing his equipment, presumably after killing him or finding his body.

Identity of the Forest Hunter
It is common for the Dark Souls community to refer to the hunter in the forest as Pharis himself. However, the person wearing Pharis's equipment is a biological woman. Given Japanese society's (and, by extension, its video-game industry's) aversion to the topic of transsexualism, it is highly unlikely that Pharis is a trans-male. The scenario posited above is much more likely.
