After write my response i thinked with my self if there aren’t any character with a hidden moral, funny as it its Patches fill this gap, we see patches in dark souls 1 as someone who hate clerics and likes to kick people in very deep falls, but after the ringed city, patches intensions were clarified, he don’t do what he do for free, he only do that with greedy and bad people, he aways lure us with promises of treasure and riches, as for the clerics, they are bad people, like they kill undeads just because The Way of White says so, in the ringed city actually for the first time he help us, in his own patches way, by kicking us in a ledge to progress through the map and even help us in halflight boss.
