Well, My theory that he was once Pharros.

A Legendary Maker turned monster, now unable to create; only destroy.

How he turned into the Rotten I have no idea but its likely that he is. The Grave of Saints is on the way to Black Gulch and we know that Pharros has had relations to The Rat King. That being the amount of Contraptions in the Rat King's domain and that one of the Rat King's domains is the Doors of Pharros.

Also the dolls are found in the Doors of Pharros, just like they are found in Black Gulch and the gutter, so that holds some relation.
