The Four Knights of Gwyn were to be equals; in the Lord's eyes, no one knight was greater than any other. But there was one whose renown spread so far and wide that they often called him the Captain of the Four Knights.
He was Ornstein, the Dragonslayer.
His armor shone like the very sun, as though it were forged of solid gold. The red crest that adorned his helm would fan out in the wind, like a crimson mane. The terrible lion's visage etched into his visor struck fear in his enemies and courage in his allies. His spear, which bore the very power of stone-splitting lightning, was swift, and himself swifter. And among the Four he had no equal in dragonslaying.
Every nobleman in Anor Londo envied him; every knight in the land wished to be like him; every lady in the City of the Gods favored him. He was the shining example of the perfect knight, and more so than any other he upheld the virtues of honor and loyalty. Among the Four, he was no doubt the noblest.
Once, a baron dared to spit upon Lord Gwyn's name, and blasphemed against him. The Lion, who could not bear this insult to his liege lord, roared his challenge and demanded a duel. The heretic cried out, saying he had no shield or armor that could withstand the Lion's terrible spear; thus, without hesitation, Ornstein set aside his famed lance. Then the heretic cried out again, saying he had no weapon that could cleave apart the Lion's armor; thus, without hesitation, Orstein stripped himself bare.
At last the heretic took up his mightiest arms and went against the Dragonslayer. With one blow, the Lion sundered the heretic's weapon in two; with another, he rent the heretic's armor into pieces. Then he seized the heretic and brought him to the feet of his Lord, that the Lord's justice may be done upon him. The King of Sunlight honored his knight with a mighty ring, and the right to put to death the blasphemer with his own hands.
Where is he now, you ask? Some say he followed Lord Gwyn's last command to him, to keep safe Anor Londo's halls in his absence. But these are only rumors; no doubt he passed into memory, like the other gods of that city.
