I'm just going to butt in on this and say that the time when the DLC was released was when bloodborn was announced. Too coincidental to not argue it as a possible theory. The clothing is too similar to bloodborn and nobody back in the middle ages dressed like that. He has to be from bloodborn if you want to explain the clothing. He could be a scholar who studied anchient times. If you argue that chester wasn't from the same time line as the dark souls' timeline then you'd be arguing that dark souls doesn't have multiple timelines of different chosen undeads. It would have to be different universes and who says Mangus didn't extend his reach (puns) to different universes. It's a theory that can only be backed up by a word from the developers but... well i've heard that the dark souls' developers are slightly trolly.
