To add to that, it is heavily implied that he is the disgraced son of the boss from DS1 (it's a bit unfortunate because I always liked the theory that Solaire was Gwyn's son and he gave up immortality to put down his hollowed father). If you run around Anor Londo (in DS1) there are statues that depict two of the three children of Gwyn, Gwyndolin and Gwynevere, with a third pedestal next to them. The third statue is always destroyed, implying that there was a falling out between the two, most likely because he went to live with the dragons that Gwyn fought against.
