Artorias Before the Abyss

Knight Artorias is a legendary figure in Dark Souls. As one of Gwyn's Four Knights, he fought to stop the Abyss from consuming New Londo and Oolacile. Ultimately, Artorias was corrupted by this darkness, but bravely sacrificed his shield to protect his loyal wolf companion, Sif. His profound tale of heroism, madness, and inevitable loss forms one of the most tragic and beloved narratives in gaming history.
