To the point though, both Demons Souls and specific to this case Dark Souls exist in MULTIVERSE WORLDS. Every user creates a player character that follows the story of the Chosen Undead, but in the lore is really a parallel reality to it. Every time you summon or get invaded, the Chosen Undead is actually summoning and being invaded by him/her alternate selves. This is without a doubt true, and is explained by the convolution of spacetime. On that note I believe without a doubt that Manus is infact the Player Character or the Chosen Undead. As both him and the PC can manipulate spacetime. I also find it queer that the Pendant story item seems analogous to Manus Pendant as he goes man and the pendant reminds him of being human again. Or truely reminds him of before he became the Dark Lord.  The first half is substantiated. But that by no means means that Manus, who can control space-time, is the player. Leeroy and the Chosen Undead are different beings, but can be both summoned and also invade. There is no proof whatsoever that the only being in the game that can manipulate time (as in, use soapstones) is the Chosen Undead. It is shown in multiple cases that many other characters can use soapstones, invade, and interact from a distant era (be it past or future).
