Is the Furtive Pygmy dark souls 2 invasion a special event or a player character?
So, I was playing in the Iron Keep doing some pVp, and had decided to quit when I tried to log out and couldn't. I hadn't activated any invasion signs and got invaded by a dark spirit "Furtive Pygmy". What's weird is the invader didn't have the tell-tale red glow like regular invaders do. Additionally the furtive pygmy had a "special" face in that wasn't a typical face you could get in the character generator, or the look of a hallowed PC, it had some sort of scabbing and growth over the left side of it's face, which I don't remember being possible to make. The character had no armor (just a loincloth) and a big freaking spear that it quite decidedly womped me with. Additionally, there didn't seem to be any network lag at all, which is weird since I'm playing via wireless carrier, which made me think it was an in game invasion.
While I realize that it may just be a player character named "Furtive Pygmy" (which unless he logged in and answered directly would be very difficult to verify), I'm curious if this is an NPC invasion. Given the nature of the Furtive Pygmy in dark souls lore, it'd be very interesting it it were.

Is the player the furtive pygmy?
One of the more bizarre theories is that The Furtive Pygmy is actually the player, also known as The Chosen Undead. After all, the opening cutscene declares that The Furtive Pygmy is "so easily forgotten." Is there anyone else in the game who could be more forgettable than you?Was Manus the pygmy Lord?
Invasion is when a player enters your world without an invite, and attempts to kill you. To summon another player to your world, you have to activate their white sign on the floor. You can leave signs yourself by using the White Sign Soapstones in your inventory.How do invasions work ds2?
From knowledge gathered from ENB's lore videos, as well as several other sources, the Furtive Pygmy is the ancestor of all of man. He found one of the hidden souls, formed within the first flame.
