I loved this boss. The design, music, and backstory synched almost perfectly.

When the battle starts, it gives you a depressive, yet confident feeling of "ok this is it". After fighting through hell and beyond to get to Vendrick, this is the last barrier. The last of Vendrick's loyal soldiers is what stands between you and him. It's almost saddening as you witness Vendrick's forces falling one by one at your hands and now you must kill the last great knight who still remained to serve Vendrick after Drangleic fell. The theme portrays this feeling perfectly. Great boss, with great emotional setback.
