"Oscar" seems to suggest that he has been undead for a very long time, possibly going through the very trials you are soon to face for hundreds of years and being constantly returned to the asylum. Maybe "Oscar" has simply chosen a successor, for he can no longer bear the burden of insanity encroaching as he eternally fails no matter his strength of character and will. "Oscar" is not hollow when he fights you last, but simply too weak of spirit to do anything more than fight. Maybe every hollow you meet is just another poor soul who tried and failed as you have done, and can no longer bear the burden of feeling that defeat is inevitable. So they wander near the place of their greatest triumph, the farthest they could manage to reach before they simply chose failure as the only option, and it is there they make their stand, saying none shall be greater than they were without fighting them for it.
