I thought up a theory about the Old Dragonslayer, see if you like it.

Note that this theory more or less requires the idea that the gods of Anor Londo also founded Heide's Tower to be true, along with the theory that Ornstein, when met in Anor Londo, is an illusion.

I think the Old Dragonslayer is just one Dragonslayer in a long line, starting with Ornstein. I think Ornstein trained a successor and passed his ring and armor on, and then that Dragonslayer trained the next, and so on.

The reason the Old Dragonslayer uses Dark, with this theory, could be that the Dragonslayers at some point started using other elements aside from Lightning, which allowed them to wield whichever element they wanted. Perhaps one Dragonslayer used fire, the next magic, and then it went that way until we get the final Dragonslayer, who used the Dark.

The Old Leo Ring states "After years of use, the ring's face has worn down" which means that the ring is old. Probably old enough to be the ring of Ornstein. And perhaps Ornstein split his soul, or some other event caused the soul to be absorbed by the following Dragonslayer, which causes the weapon made by the soul to be the original version.
