Lore
is one of the Four Knights of Gwyn as well as the presumed captain of them.

He is clad in golden armor made to resemble a lion, imbued with the power of lightning. It is said that his lugged spear could slice a boulder in two as if it were cloth.

Lord Gwyn split some of his lord soul and gave it to his knights, including Ornstein. Being one of Gwyn's knights it can be assumed that he had the ability to use Sunlight Spear, a miracle which was used by even the lower ranked soldiers in Gwyn's army due to their strong faith.
