I'd like to share something very interesting and it's about something no one seems to talk about and thats the PLAYER CHARACTER.

OTHERWORLD CHOSEN THEORY: Lore wise as the 'Chosen Unded.' To the point though, both Demons Souls and, specific to this case, Dark Souls exist in MULTIVERSE WORLDS. Let me explain, every user creates a player character that follows the story of the Chosen Undead, but in the lore is really a parallel reality to it. Every time you summon or get invaded, the Chosen Undead is actually summoning and being invaded by him/her alternate selves. This is without a doubt true, and is explained by the convolution of spacetime. On that note I believe that Manus is infact the Player Character or the Chosen Undead and not the Furtive Pygmy. As both him and the PC can manipulate spacetime. I also find it odd that the Pendant story item seems analogous to Manus Pendant. (The starting gift Pendant is described a memento in its description) As Manus goes mad and the pendant reminds him of being human again. Or truely reminds him of before he became the Dark Lord. Like the player character he pulls you through to 'his time' to reobtain his version of the pendant coincidentally lost the Chosens time and world. Manus is simply a future Chosen from the past (Darklord power probably allows greater control over spacetime and since he's mad and in the abyss who really knows what plain of existence he's in) or an Otherworld Chosen if you don't become the darklord.
