Soul of Cinder

==Summary==
The Soul of Cinder is a boss enemy in Dark Souls III and is the final boss of the game. It appears as a tall, charred knight, wielding the Coiled Sword and is seen as the amalgamation of all the previous Lords of Cinder, including the Chosen Undead and the Bearer of the Curse (had they linked the flame).
