No, there really isn't such a thing as a "chosen undead," it's really just the undead who refuses to give up and pushes through the trials in their path. As for why he died permanently, all of the Souls games are a little vague about when or if undead die permanently. For example, if Sieglinde kills Siegmeyer, he doesn't come back and Sieglinde points this out. furthermore Rhea says you "banished" Vince and Nico when you kill them and they are never heard from again. Even the generic enemies in Dark Souls 2 can be permanently killed. On the other hand, the player character can always respawn and all of the generic enemies in Dark Souls 1 respawn no matter how many times they die. If there really is a "Chosen Undead" then all of the enemies in the first game were "Chosen Ones." Also, permanently dying would be an end to the pain, decay, and insanity of being undead, if there was some trick to dying permanently wouldn't nearly every undead do that? Or even the other kingdoms, rather than corralling the undead, why not just kill them? We don't even know if they undead who permanently die in either game don't just respawn in some other place or time. So, in short, I have babbled for a good ten minutes of my time and maybe 3 of yours (I had to type it all). My apologies.
