Solaire of Astora is a knight from Dark Souls, the 2011 action role-playing game by FromSoftware, and he has become one of its most beloved characters through his optimism, his distinctive sun emblem and his famous praise-the-sun gesture. Clips of his voice circulate widely in gaming memes, reaction videos and short-form edits, where his friendly introduction works as shorthand for jolly cooperation and good-natured heroism. Because Dark Souls remains widely played and discussed, the line still feels instantly recognisable to fans years after the original release.
