Yeah

Checkout the intro to Dark Souls.

The narrator clearly states that ' From the Dark, They came.. and They found the souls of lords in the Flame '. So basically all the bosses that we kill and the humans too are from a common race, only the souls altered them. Even Gwyn's black knights, the brass sentinels and everything. Also, the Dark Soul( if it is the Dark Soul ) is shown as glowing yellow and red, held by the furtive pygmy.

'Furtive' means attempting to avoid notice or attention, typically because of guilt or a belief that discovery would lead to trouble; secretive.

So that means this dude was hiding his own found soul and didnt want to share it with anyone else.

Who is to say this particular soul was the Dark Soul, it's just a theory made up by the fans. There could have been more than

4 lord souls in the flame, and someone totally different could have held the Dark Soul, if there was any Dark Soul to begin

with.

So the actual event that might have happened after the dragons got their collective asses whooped, would be something like this. Gwyn, the witch, nito and seath tried to dominate the 'Common Race' by linking them to the fire and basically making them sub-servants. This is how humanity probably began, an race altered by gwyn so as to avoid their true nature.

This might have happened from a fear of being overtaken by the common race, as most of them didn't have lord souls to begin with. Lets just call them 'Dark Beings' for the moment.
