In addition to the references to Manu(s) in many ancient mythologies, we also have two references in the form of the Latin word "manus" which means "hand." However the association does not stop there, though Manus' massive hand would be a good tie in. "Manus" in Roman law is the right of the pater familias, (aka the oldest male member of a family up the paternal line from father to son(s), who by legal right owned his children, their families and all their posessions until he died) to punish up unto the point of death anyone (his children, their children, their slaves, wives etc) who fell under his power as the pater familias. Looking at it this way, it makes sense that Manus is the FP and when the people of Oolacile attempted to upturn his grave to feed off of his leftover humanity, the residual darkness of his massive amount of humanity went wild and sought to punish humanity, particularly Oolacile, for their transgressions against him as the de facto pater familias of the human race. The spread of the Abyss is probably a side effect of Manus not being the true resurrected FP but rather what is left of his massive amount of Humanity as the original bearer of the Dark Soul.
