@Aften

That sounds extremly credible to me for some reason.


 * Pure speculation ahead***

Maybe after losing his status, he moved to Astora. There he found a child, Solaire, which he trained to become a skilled warrior. (The reason why could be anything since Solaire doesn't mention anything about his past.)

Then after his training was complete, Solaire left for Lordran in search of "his own sun." Maybe to impress his mentor. Maybe he was told to go there by the firstborn who wanted revenge for what the gods did to him. Or maybe he was simply banished to Lordran after becoming undead. And that was his only option to stay sane. He would probably have learned about the gods and be very religous since he carries the crest of his covenant on his armor, shield and even his talisman.

The reason that I said that Solaire was a child is because it makes more sense. Solaire is young, seems to be recently undead and he must've trained for a very long time to gain the amount of skill that he is constantly said to possess.
