I don't know if Gwyndolin himself had it commissioned. My theory is the original great lords had it built. Possible it was Gwyns idea to have it built in the 1st place for his successor or maybe it was Gwyndolins idea because he needs someone strong to Link the Fire for him so the light of the world will burn longer. Thus giving Gwyndolin more time to rule has the next Great Lord of Anor Londo. The reason you need more souls before linking the fire is because the stronger you are when you sacrifice yourself the longer you will burn, allowing the Age of Fire to continue even more before the Dark comes back. Gwyn is not running around anywhere, he is stuck at the bottom of the Kiln forever taksed with watching the First Flame until it fades or someone else comes to become the next Lord of Cinder or a Dark Lord. The Reason your Chosen Undead is silent is because he/she is a vessel for YOU to FILL. it's up too YOU on who you think your Chosen Undead is. The game is purposely set up in a way where you your self must ask questions and come to your own conclusions using your own detective skills. I like your curiosity hear my friend. Everything I shared is all based on my personal play thrus and listening and comparing others theory's on this game. So In the end it's all up to YOU on what the story of Dark Souls is/means.
