Gwyn is one of the gods that defeated the Everlasting Dragons ages ago. His Lord Soul granted him deific power over the sun and lightning, earning him the epithet Lord of Sunlight. He had three children to an unknown mother; Gwynevere, Gwyndolin, and a male firstborn, a war god whose name has been lost by the time of Dark Souls owing to his godhood being rescinded by Gwyn.
Thousands of years before the events of the game, the First Flame began to dim. The Witch of Izalith attempted to duplicate the First Flame from a soul, but failed horribly and her actions eventuated in the creation of a hellish wellspring of chaos and fire, known as the Bed of Chaos. After the war against the chaos demons ended, Gwyn departed from Anor Londo to rekindle the First Flame, bringing his Black Knights with him, while his Silver Knights stayed behind to guard Anor Londo. Before he departed, he bequeathed most of his power to the Gods. After sacrificing himself to link the Fire, the First Flame consumed his Black Knights and made Gwyn himself its fuel. Thus, he became known as the Lord of Cinder.
