Does Covenant affect NPC invaders?

There are some we know the answer for already, like the Mad Warrior will only spawn if you're a part of the Bell Covenant. But are there any others?

For example, will the (offline invader) Bell Keeper still spawn if you're a part of the Bell Keeper's? Or will (offline invader) Rhoy the Explorer spawn if you're a part of the Rat King Covenant?

Yes.

There are several invaders that will/won't spawn, depending on whether or not you're in a specific covenant.

• Rhoy the Explorer will not spawn if you are a part of the Rat King Covenant.
• Bowman Guthry will not spawn if you are a part of the Rat King Covenant

These two only invade offline, and you will get a message "Dark spirit [name] has invaded!"

There is one other phantom that will only appear if you are online:

• The Mad Warrior will only spawn if you are in the Bellkeepers Covenant.

Additionally, he will spawn multiple times, and will not have a scripted entrance. He spawns randomly in Belfry Sol, so if he does not appear, go back and rest at the bonfire.
