Question is tho, did From exclude just the firstborn from the game, or did they exclude him and his "image" aswell? Now I know there are missing statues of the firstborn, but who is to say that he didn't don the silver knight armour and acted as second-in-command to his father? In the second game, in HToF, the Old Dragonslayer is possibly just that, a Dragonslayer. It does not confirm that it is Ornstein himself. His Soul's description says that "The Old Dragonslayer is reminiscent of a certain knight that appears in old legends." Which suggests to me that there may have been more knights that wore Ornstein's armour.

Now an off little thought I just had. Flow of time is distorted, so what if Ornstein or the Firstborn tried to defeat the Abyss instead of/after Artorias?

What I sometimes think, is that the Firstborn MIGHT be the Old Dragonslayer. He was either tainted by, or enbraced dark majik, but despite being banished, he founded/obeyed the Blue Sentinels, because they had a good cause similar the one his little brother Gwyndolin had. Though that wouldn't explain the eagle-headed statues.

Perhaps HToF might even be of the Firstborns making. He ditched his God of War title and adopted his God of Sun title, and so people pictured him as the Sun God Ra.
