SPOILERS!!!

Another one: lightning spear is the miracle of Gwyn's firstborn. Solaire's the only guy who uses this miracle (other than the player). Ring of the Sun's firstborn mentioned that Gwyn's firstborn was the god of war, but as punishment for some transgression, he was made mortal.

Solaire mentions that the sun is like a magnificent father (Like, is his father was Lord of FIRE?). He also mentions that he became undead to pursue his own sun. The Sunlight Medal mentions that the god of war watches over his followers still, and Solaire's the only NPC sunbro you can meet.

Evidence against Solaire being Gwyn's son: He says he's from Astora, whereas the gods came from Anor Londo. Solaire's armor has a description saying that his skill must have come from training alone, for it exhibits no special traits, suggesting his mere mortality.

Something to chew on while you think of this: Gwyn's firstborn left Sunlight Blade as a farewell gift on his father's tomb. This in turn means that he was not banished by Gwyn, as by the time of his banishment Gwyn was dead. Who banished him, then?
