Notes from author
Inspired by the interesting story gimmick of Chaotic Kyr's Cursebringer saved builds. This is just a quality build that I liked; Bastard Sword is a fun weapon, even if the Claymore is better.
Knight Michael was once a knight of Astora, respected for his noble lineage almost as much as his strength with the bastard sword inherited from his father. When the darksign branded Michael, his father sadly told him the truth: He was a bastard child, adopted and accepted by his family after the death of an older brother. While they gave him their wishes as he traveled to Lordran, the truth unhinged Michael, and in his unsavory madness, he joined the Darkwraiths and made every effort to defile the family sword by coating it in resins and the blood of other undead.
