In Dark Souls III, Yuria Of Yondor wants you to begin The Age Of Dark as well. Kaathe and his followers are some of the very few NPCs in the entire trilogy that not only mention him but follow him and pursue his goals. It wouldn't be the first time something like this occurred as Gwyn's firstborn son, The Nameless King, was also erased from history after aligning with the dragons. If what Kaathe says is true and The Pygmy wished to bring about The Age Of Dark, it's possible that Gwyn destroyed all records of The Furtive Pygmy in written history. Gwyn would even go on to sacrifice himself to link The First Flame and keep it burning. He and his knights did everything in their power to prolong The Age Of Fire because they feared the arrival of The Age Of Dark and the rise of humans. The Furtive Pygmy never appears in the Dark Souls games and his existence seems to be all but forgotten by most. All we truly know about their appearance is, via an interview with series creator Hidetaka Miyazaki on a Japanese podcast called Game No Shokutaku, they're male - finding the podcast itself can be difficult, but an industrious fan translation of this interview can be found here. We can only tell that they're some kind of hunched-over, emaciated, hollow human with shriveled hands. Nito, The Witch Of Izalith, and Gwyn can all be clearly seen, but The Pygmy can only be spotted from a distance clutching their newfound Soul in front of a wall of fire. In that same cutscene, we only get a brief glimpse of what The Furtive Pygmy looks like. This lack of information makes it difficult to discern just how large of a part he played in shaping Lordran's history. We also never learn his fate, so it's unknown whether he's dead or alive. However, even though he was involved in all these events, his exact role isn't known. The Furtive Pygmy pops up in Dark Souls' introductory cutscene as one of the four Lords who find the Lord Souls, defeat the immortal dragons, and bring about The Age Of Fire. RELATED: Most Iconic Locations From Dark SoulsSo who and what exactly is The Furtive Pygmy? How can a character who discovered the titular Dark Soul seemingly go missing and not appear in the game despite being such an important part of the lore? Like most questions surrounding Dark Souls, there aren't many concrete answers, but there is a whole lot of wild speculation. However, that leaves one Lord unaccounted for: The Furtive Pygmy, who you never see throughout your harrowing journey. Of these lords, you encounter three in the game: Nito, the Lord of the Dead The Witch Of Izalith (who either created or was turned into one of the worst boss battles of all time, The Bed Of Chaos), and Gwyn, the Lord of Sunlight, the former king of Lordran and the game's final boss. In the lore of Dark Souls, there are said to be four Lords who found the Lord Souls and defeated The Everlasting Dragons.
