Manus is not an Abyss-born being; he is a primeval human who created the Abyss after his Humanity went wild. As far as I know, every other creature we know in Dark Souls universe that was born in the Abyss or made direct contact with it became corrupted in some way: Knight Artorias, the Four Kings, the Bloathead citizens, the Darkwraiths, Nashandra and - maybe - the Darklurker, Elana and Nadalia; with the exception of the Chosen Undead (most probably thanks to the Covenant of Artorias). Not saying you're wrong about Elana, but while there's no evidence she didn't love the Sunken King, there's also no proof otherwise. It says she was seeking vengeance, for sure, but vengeance for what? The king, the kingdom, or the dragon? People interpret her lore and dialogue in different ways, And while we don't know much about her backstory and why did she worshipped Sinh along with the king, the subject is open for speculation.
