I get that and I'm fine with it. Hovewer Seath was never a Great Soul. The only reason why he was even notable in Dark Souls was because he was given a fragment of Gwyn's Soul. If it wasn't for that, he would be at the level of, say, Queelag.

You could argue that it was that fragment that elevated him to a Great Soul status, but a) it was taken from him by Dark Souls' protagonist and b) if that was the case, where in Dark Souls 2 are the Four Kings who also had a fragment of Gwyn's Soul?

I like the idea of the Great Souls permeating the game's universe, but the execution of it just doesn't make sense for the most part. The only Great Soul that really makes sense is the Lost Sinner/Izalith. The Rotten despite having Nito's soul has nothing to do with death(and in fact seems to try and create life what with the statues and all); Old Iron King has nothing to do with sun or lightning; and Seath shouldn't even be on the list of Great Souls.
