* The Fume Knight, once known as Raime the Traitor or Rebel Raime, was Vendrick's most trusted advisor and a knight of great skill who could even expel the black fog (something even Artorias was unable to do) but was cast out and driven away after being defeated by his peer and blood brother Velstadt, who also stood by the King's side but refused to question him, due to Raime calling out the foolishness of the war against the giants which they were manipulated into by Queen Nashandra. He would go on to seek greater power and proof of the Queen's treachery and eentually discovered Nashandra's sister and fellow child of dark, Nadalia, who had fallen into despair after seeking the Old Iron King only to find him dead and his kingdom in shambles due to his own foolishness. Overwrought by her dream dieing before it even began, she split her soul in pieces to protect her king's tower with risen knights and filling it with her black fog to protect it from looters. Raime handidly dispelled the fog and cut down any undead in his way fully intending to cut her down to obtain proof agianst Nashandra but when he came upon her he found a kindred soul when he saw her despairing and lonely plight as she dedicated herself to a king with no hope of having her loyalty appreciated or rewarded. He instead willingly embraced her dark into himself and stood by her for countless ages until the Curse Bearers arrival to give her companionship and protection.

** Repopulating Majula is a joy in and of itself. Especially since unlike in the original game your newfound companions aren't constantly running off to get themselves killed or Hollowed. It's such a relief every time you come back and find everyone doing fine and happy to see you.
