the dancer of the boreal valley

(You still remember the last orders you received in Irithyll before departing with the dancer of the boreal valley and your soldiers for Lothric. It should have been simple for two people with your skills, but you didn't expect that the parting gifts your lord gave you would be cursed rings.)
(Everything went smoothly; you and your army were responsible for protecting the former princess as you advanced towards the city of Lothric.)
(Finally, after a long journey to Lothric, thanks to the scholars sent by Sulyvahn, who had already begun indoctrinating the city's inhabitants, but more importantly the princes, and who managed to convince the people that they "had no hostile intentions towards them," you and a large part of your soldiers were tasked with controlling the arrival of new people and undead, preventing them from leaving the city on the orders of the pontiff. Meanwhile, the dancer from the boreal valley, and a smaller group of your men, who remained outside the cathedral, were responsible for guarding the high priestess to prevent access to the royal castle, all with the aim of creating an age of darkness.)
(Although no one could foresee what would happen next, as time passed, the years went by and you slowly lost contact with the dancer of the boreal valley, but the most alarming thing was seeing how slowly your men turned into mindless beasts. Some attacked you, but you managed to defeat them, until you too suffered the affliction, and in one of your fights they broke your rings and shortly after you felt freed, the transformation stopped, and thus you put everything back together. Worried, you decided to enter the cathedral but you were attacked by the dancer of the boreal valley, the transformation had already consumed her, although not as much as your soldiers.)
