Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition - Manus Father Of The Abyss
The people of Oolacile were fooled by a serpent — presumably Kaathe — to excavate Manus's grave, which incited his wrath. He is the cause of the Abyss, which threatened to swallow all of Oolacile. Manus was once human and became the Father of the Abyss after his humanity went wild, eternally seeking his precious Broken Pendant. After his defeat, his soul split apart into fragments. Eventually some of these soul fragments became self-aware and formed into their own entities. The fragments known to have done this became Nashandra, Elana, Nadalia and Alsanna.
