In the Dark Souls universe, Giants are an intelligent race with a tragic history of servitude. A key figure is Hawkeye Gough, a blind giant and one of Lord Gwyn’s elite Four Knights. Once the honored leader of the Dragonslayers, Gough was unjustly imprisoned. Despite this, he remains a wise, stoic archer who finds peace in wood carving. While other giants serve vital roles, like blacksmithing, the race is frequently mistreated.
