Got an answer. What if the Rotten is Pharros? He drops a Pharros Lockstone, and is guarded by the Rat covenent. (Grave of Saints) Also, the Rotten seems upset he cannot (can no longer) create things, with the statue in the Gutter.

Before I say anymore, I did not make this theory. Someone else did, on the Rotten's page.

..We know Pharros was able to create things.. Including, maybe, a being out of a powerful soul? Maybe he created Nashandra, to get a Lord Soul. He chose the smallest piece, as he knew it'd want power. So he created her, and told her about the Lordvessel. She, in turn, seduced Vendrick into getting it. And she then agreed to give the Rotten the Soul of Death, if Pharros would make her stronger.. And he does that.. Using Nito's soul. He kept most of the soul for himself, however, and it turned him to the Rotten..

Again, a lot of speculation, but there's some evidence.. Not.. Very much. Needs more to be a viable theory; maybe I'll look through it some more.. Try to find some.
