From what I've heard he is actually a Chaos Servant, hence why his corpse is found near the Fair Lady. Apparently he tricked Kaathe out of a Red Eye Orb and uses the humanity he harvests to help cure the Fair Lady.

I like this idea as it makes the serpents seem less all-knowingly manipulative and powerful. If this is true, and I'm 90% sure it is, then it mean their manipulations can in fact backfire and/or are not perfect, which makes sense since primordial serpents are in essence imperfect dragons. It also makes the Chaos Servant/Fair Lady story more tragic... in storyline that was already incredibly tragic to begin with. :(
