Backstory
The Witch of Izalith is one of the deities that defeated the dragons long ago. As seen in the opening cinematic, she is the leader of "The Witches of Chaos," and the one whom created thousands of Fires. The Witch of Izalith gained a Lord Soul, and that is how she wove great Firestorms, but she ambitiously attempted to recreate the first flame with the Lord Soul. What she instead produced was a twisted being of chaotic fire: The Bed of Chaos, source of all demons. It consumed The Witch and her followers.

Two of her daughters managed to partially escape: Quelaag, and Quelaag's Sister. Their lower bodies were morphed into demonic spiders, but from the waist up they were spared. A third, Quelana, managed to escape completely, and now wanders the Blighttown swamp as the mother of all Pyromancy. The Witch of Izalith is gone, but The Bed of Chaos remains due to her getting consumed. The pyromancies used by humans was born after Quelana teaching it to her first pupil, Salaman. Prior to the advent of Chaos, there were no human pyromancers.
