Hmmm I've been trying to convey my train of thought to you for the past 3 hours... I've been meaning to explain it in a concise manner, but it's hard not to accidentally write a whole essay on it when it comes to Dark Souls. XP

I'll just drop a piece of it and we can work from here, if needed.

The complete description says "Lord Gwyn granted this soul to his four most trusted knights". The "this" in the sentence has the phrasing sound weird, like he gave one single fragment of his Lord Soul to all of them to decide what to do with it, but all things considered, Lord Gwyn was known for sharing fragments of it with those he deemed worthy, and at some point in the game it's given to us that beings with Lord Souls and souls derived from it are considered god-like beings. If Ornstein, being one of the four knights, was rewarded with a fragment because Gwyn trusted him, then certainly the others may been given one, too (well, maybe except for Gough, who belonged to a race of his own already).

If you sum that to the fact Ciaran refers to humans as a race separated from her own, Ornstein's soul description correlates.

Maybe I was just too tired when I decided to think about that back then and I'm just splurting gibberish... XP
