Talk:Slave Knight Gael/@comment-21119641-20170330224351

Well, that was three whole games spent by fighting Demons, Dragons, Knights, Giants, Kings, Undead...

We kill the God of War (Gwyn's firstborn), the Lord of Cinder himself...and those who came after him, the First of the Dead and much more! The serpents have vanished...leaving nothing but their will, the Everlasting Dragons are no more...

Who could we even fight at this point? I respect many people's opinions, which put characters like Kaathee, Gwynevere or even the "Pygmy" himself as the final boss. But, this is Dark Souls, the world is decaying...this is the end...no one is left. Just you and a simple old man.

Gael is so old he seems to be one of the last of his "kind". He wanted to do what he deemed as good: Providing the fuel for the Girl's painting. He may be scared and weak...but he wrapped his resolve around that and accepted his fate: He would fall and ruin if he seeks the Dark Soul, but even then he proceeds with it...he knew he was no champion...almost as if he's doing a bet with himself that the Ashen One would be capable of stopping him when the time came.

I also think he shares some parallels with the Soul of Cinder. The latter is the amalgamation of the Fire and all those Champions who linked it. While Gael basically became a Vessel for the Dark Soul...embodying (maybe) all of the Undead...those who suffered and failed for many years. He was kind of a nobody like them...

I know many people disagree, but I still think this was a nice finale to the Soul Series in general!
