Could anyone shed some light on the symbol painted on the suface? (I got Dark Souls about a month ago and I've only completed it once very quickly, so I might have missed some big lore descriptions)

I speculate that it is some kind of holy rune that wards agains fire... that would explain the unrealistically high fire resistance OR maybe it is the crest of his house or family (Like how Oscar has his family crest engraved on his Crest Shield).

Those are my speculations but I just wanna make sure that in my confounded haste I didn't miss any lore regarding the strange axe-shaped symbol; thank you.
