The Darklurker's soul reads: "Soul of what lurks in the Dark Chasm. The Dark Chasm is the remnant of some ancient, dissipated being." this description mentions what happened to the Abyss ofter the defeat of Manus, it no longer is the endless void the it used to be, now that it was separeted in fragments, it was "reborn" as the Dark Chasm of Old. The description also explicits what "purpose" the Darklurker has, or pherhaps a Darklurker, it could be possible that there are more than one, pherhaps a Darklurker simply is, or oce was, a common living creature that traversed the Dark Chasm and was corrupted by it, hece why his soul is that of a common boss (unlike Nashandra's, Throne Watcher/Dafender, Velstadt, whose's souls are related or were corrupted by the Dark). It is also possible that the Darklurkers were once Pilgrims of Dark that were seduced by the Dark and tranformed into the being ht is only know as the Darklurker.

Anyway, this is my theory on the Darklurker, he is one the most enigmatic bosses of Dark Souls II, and bring up big many possibilities of discussion, a fact that a love about the Souls series.
