I think the major theme in DS1 and DS2 is fate weaves in a cycle. For instance, Gravelord Nito and The Rotten, Seath and the Scorpioness, The Sinner and The Witch of Izalith. The Queen and Manus. All hint to possibly being the previous Great Soul reborn/reincarnated in a new era or just in a different reality altogether. Based on soul descriptions and locations found, I would say the similarities are more than a little convenient. Old Dragoonslayer could be Ornsteins soul rebron.
