Guardians of Chaos - Dark Souls Lore: Demons

*********ADDENDUM*********

I believe based off of the black knight weapons and shield, which describe the Black Knights as fighting off the chaos demons, that initially after Izalith was transformed into demons, the demons wanted to live with the rest of the humans in Lordran, but Gwyn and the Gods/Humans/Knights didn't want to co-exist with them. They fought back the demon's into Izalith, where Quelaag's cut dialogue describes them as having accepted their "banished fate". I think they were banished their by Gwyn. Regardless, there was definitely some sort of war between Gwyn and the Demons, and the Demons lost.

But what about the "Bat Wing Demons?"
Look at the Demon's Spear, which is "The weapon of these chaos demons wandering
Anor Londo are different from those of other
chaos demons, and are imbued with lightning."
I believe that, similar to Seath, the Bat Wing Demons betrayed the other Chaos Demons, flipped sides, and were granted Gwyn's lightning powers to utilize.

Another interesting note: When killing Gwynevere's illusion, the Bat Wing Demon's disappear. (Outside of the ones who take you up to Anor Londo - by my understanding).

Thanks for everyone's comments and thoughts in the comments!
