You say that like you believe Solaire was aware Gwyn was even alive. Remember, most of the lore we can find in descriptions and dialouge leads one to believe Gwyn sacrificed himself to link the First Flame. It's very reasonable to believe that an outsider would think Gwyn is dead and not a burnt and twisted shadow of his former self (all the more reason for someone like Solaire to fight him).

Also, let's assume for a second that Solaire was Gwyn's firstborn (I know many disagree, but let's ASSUME for a second). If that's the case, Solaire would know fully know what Gwyn had become, and that it was the Chosen Undead's destiny to kill him.
