Talk:Soul of Cinder/@comment-2606:A000:1128:8020:845E:5B24:24FA:DDF7-20190621203232/@comment-32745741-20190730230054

Misnomer: the design of the Soul of Cinder mimicing the Chosen Undead was due to how early in development, they were actually supposed to be the player character. This was cut early on, and so was the concept of it being a constant support character throughout your journey across Lothric (pre-release builds of the game have data that reflects this).

This being said, on a canon basis the Soul of Cinder is merely composed of the Lords of Cinder with no player characters - none of the endings in any Dark Souls game are canon.
