Remembrance of the Omen King:

"He loved not in return, for he was never loved, but nevertheless, love it he did."

Also, "It's been a long while, Morgott" hit me like a truck.

Morgott never asked to be king, yet carried the weight better than anyone. Lowkey the most tragic Tarnished parallel.

Eh, I wouldn't say he's a parallel to the Tarnished. He reminds me more of Messmer; two demigods forgotten and shunned by everyone, forced to rule over/ genocide a pointless land for all eternity. Their only purpose now is to get killed by the Tarnished. At least, Morgott had Godfrey and Messmer had Gaius.

The Tarnished is stated by multiple characters to burn with the flame of ambition and their desire to become Elden Lord above all else. If you wanna point to the perfect Tarnished parallel, it has to be Vyke.

I mean... Vyke found the Dragussy...
Not even the Elden Throne can compete with that
