Supposedly having risen to his rank through strength and intelligence, when encountered by the Ashen One, the King is but a shell of his former self, found resting amidst the corpses of his fellow Demons, though who or what killed them is unknown, and if the King is responsible, his reason behind it remains a mystery. The King himself is among the last of his people, for by the time of Dark Souls III the Chaos Flame is gone, effectively making the Demons a dying race. The Demon King was born of the Chaos Flame like all of his kin, the Flame being an attempt by the Witch of Izilath to create a substitute for the quickly fading First Flame.Ĭreated using the Witch's soul, the Chaos Flame was capable of only twisting and mutating life around it, the creatures were the ancestors to what would be called the Demons.
