10 Dark Souls Characters That Were In Multiple Video Games

6. Creighton The Wanderer

One of two characters in Dark Souls 2 that have entwined storylines, you meet Creighton and Mild-Mannered Pate at various points and they tell you conflicting stories, with each painting the other as the villain in the situation. While it is difficult to work out from the information that we are given in game who is telling the truth, neither of them seems entirely trustworthy.

If you follow both storylines through, you will come across them fighting in Brightstone Tseldora where they will each ask you to help. Whichever one you assist will provide you with their set as a reward and a key to a lockaway which is booby trapped. (Complete with a line of dialogue mocking you for getting hurt).

In Dark Souls 3, Creighton invades as a red phantom of Rosaria's Fingers (implying you canonically helped him in the previous game perhaps) both on the bridge to Irrithyl in Sirrus' questline and further into the same level, in the graveyard behind the Church of Yorshka bonfire where he drops the Dragonslayer's Axe when killed.

Unlike the previous game, he has no lines of dialogue, and his gear offers little further explanation as to his character or intentions.
