Dragon Slayer Ornstein



Dragon Slayer Ornstein is a character in Dark Souls. He was one of Lord Gwyn's most trusted knights. Believed to be the captain of the Four Knights of Gwyn, he was granted a special soul and ring by the Lord of Sunlight.

His golden armor is made to resemble a lion and is imbued with the power of lightning. It is said that his lugged spear could slice a boulder in two. Alongside Executioner Smough, Ornstein served as guardian of the Anor Londo cathedral.
