The Hallow Knight was just the title that the Pale king gave to the worthy vessel. The Hallow knight that you play as is the exact same as the Hallow knight the Pale king made into his vessel. Except that the king made a mistake when training the Hallow knight. He cared for it and treated it as a son. This created love in the hallow knight and so when it was finally time to trap the Radiance inside the void of the Hallow knight,  it wasn't completely empty like the King thought. Which allowed The Radiance to latch onto dreams and emotion, corrupting the Hallow Knight. How ever the knight we play as is emotionless. That is why I believe he came back. Since he has no memory of his betrayal by the Hallow Knight (unless you choose to embrace the void) and this happened because he left Hallownest. So he came back with no memories, no emotions and planned on releasing the Hallow Knight of its burden and taking the radiance into its self.
