Vanguard (Demon's Souls)

==Summary==
The Vanguard is the first boss of Demon's Souls. As its name suggests, it was among the first Demons to assail the world during the events of the Second Demon Scourge, the inciting incident of the plot of the game. Thusly, the Slayer of Demons encounters this Demon as the first boss of the game. Whether the Vanguard cuts them down, or the Slayer begins building their pile of Demon corpses with this monstrosity, the events following remain unchanged.
