Let's say an exceptionally powerful Darkwraith, maybe even someone who got the Dark Lord Ending in DS1, couldn't be permanently defeated so his enemies buried or trapped him. Several centuries in the future, he still hasn't actually gone Hollow for one reason or another when the enchantments wear off.

How would people such as the Ashen One, the Abyss Watchers, Kaathe's worshippers, and other religious groups view a resurgent power who simply doesn't follow the rules of the world?

• He never gets unkindled, and his embers are extremely powerful for some reason (he's still using humanities from storage)
• His rings are MUCH stronger than they have any right to be
• He starts using pyromancies & sorceries that aren't usually that powerful or just can't physically exist, not to mention he's somehow not using FP for them either.
• His divine & occult weapons also just aren't following the rules that they should be following.
• He also has items such as ancient coal (which he somewhat confusingly refers to as "embers"), Firekeeper souls, and powerful souls of beings that have faded into myth.
• He's weirdly familiar with a lot of the places in the world, he knows Andre for some reason, and claims to be taking orders directly from Kaathe himself.
• He's completely unfamiliar with concepts like frostbite, weapon arts, and luck, but that doesn't seem to hinder him either.
• Somehow he can mess with the bonfires to make them give more Estus than every other bonfire, and not even the Firekeepers understand how he can do it because he doesn't know what bone shards are.
