Abyss Watchers

The Abyss Watchers are the major antagonists in Dark Souls 3. They were the undead legionaires of Farron Keep as well as one of the Lords of Cinder the Ashen one fought. They were tasked together to push back The Abyss force and linking the flame altogether. At some point they were ended up corrupted by The Abyss and madly fighting each other as The Ashen One walks inside the Keep. 
== What Makes Them Ensemble Dark Horse? ==
* The Abyss Watchers shares tragic fate as the other Lords of Cinder (Excluding Aldrich, Saint of the Deep) because of being corrupted by The Abyss by the time Ashen One walks in the boss arena. Even Hawkwood the Deserter, despite being ostracized for having a shield, sympathizes them because of their fate being corrupted into insanity after years of fighting The Abyss.
* The Abyss Watchers have their own fighting style, in which adapting from Knight Artorias and his companion, Great Grey Wolf Sif. They're known for practicing blade-brakes and most of their swordfighting moves were inspired by Artorias himself, including their acrobatic greatsword moves.
** The Abyss Watchers also following the tradition of Guts's Expies. Slave Knight Gael will do the same thing in The Ringed City DLC as final boss.
* The second phase cutscene reminds players straight coming out from Bloodborne, one of the Fromsoftware games. Their garbs were counted as well because looks like any hunters from Bloodborne, without a gun.
* Their boss's name is a nod from a quote of Friedrich Nietzsche: "He Who Fights Monsters should see to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
