But if you decided to trade them later , no one would want them , so you made quite a loss there <| sep |> Fantastic ! I love this theory , it is very well written and well connected to the lore points you brought on . Giving a tragedy that seems to be mandatory in Souls to him rather than make him a truly evil character . Especially the Rosaria part , it makes a lot of sense regarding Angelic faith . Though I have my own personal idea that Irithyllian face is just children that are taken by either Gwyndolin or Aldrich co . to feed him . Aldrich himself might be just a ' true human ' lowerclassman in Irithyll who truly affiliated with Sable Church and were sent to infiltrate Way of White as a spy and trying to eat people to usurp the flame . Kinda crackpot , but I like to think these guys are really trying to make a new age before we do .
