Each of the Four Knights had special armor custom made for them and each was given a one of a kind ring and weapon. The Old Dragonslayer drops all the same items as Ornstein, albeit Old, plus his soul makes the same weapon. He is of the exact same size, with the exact same moves, though magic and not lightning. No other set of armor like his exists, nor does any other weapon or ring. This is very likely Ornstein, though what happened to him and how he arrived in Drangleic is unknown. None of his Dragonslayers had the equipment he did, nor did any of Gough's have the equipment that Gough had. The gear Ornstein wears and wields are the ONLY ones of their kind. And NO, the sets and weapons crafted from his soul, or any boss' for that matter, do not count, as they were not made in any form of certainty.

TL;DR All signs point to this being Ornstein due to the unique items, though how he arrived in Drangleic and why he has changed is unknown.

Also, why can't I wear his armor?! Especially with a badass plume this time?!
