Death spent the majority of that time gathering together weapons of mass destruction of his own design, The Grand Abominations. Since the Early days of his service to the council Death has largely ignored the summons of his would be masters, traveling around and largely doing his own thing.
Or so they thought, the two horsemen were reduced to little more than pawns, executioners of Lucifer's minions so that he might collect on their souls and refine them into the Animus, a mass of the worst traits of demon kind to infect humanity with.īy now the council had grown incensed from the repeated interference of the developing humans and towards this end Angel and Demon leaders were forcibly brought before the council and a new pact was signed with the Horsemen signed by Seven seals: At the hour that humanity stands ready to make angel and Demon alike their equal, The Seven Seals of the Apocalypse shall be broken, sparking the end war and calling the lords of heaven and dregs of hell to Earth so that the three Kingdoms can fight for the fate of creation. Through the Council the Horsemen became aware of a plot by the Demon lord Lucifer, thus Strife and War were sent to investigate the matter chasing down Lucifer's contacts, and usually executing them after a protracted battle, and through them slowly became aware of Lucifer's designs on Eden. But their main mission is to protect the Balance even during Armageddon until the end of Creation all in the name of the council. They commit all sorts of missions (such as investigation, execution, punishment, espionage, fighting and so on) which they have to carry out. Other than the Crowfather and possibly Lilith, none but Death, who collected the souls personally, knew of this as the Council had ordered the souls to be cast into the Abyss. Thus, the Riders became the last of the Nephilim in all of Creation, the souls of their brothers and sisters sealed away and entrusted to the Crowfather. It was speculated later by Strife however, that the Nephilim were perhaps not so great a threat to the Balance as the Council made them out to be, and that the extermination may have been a test of the Horsemen's loyalty. It was the price they had to pay to absolve themselves of theirs and their species crimes. The first actual mission the Charred Council gave them was to kill all the Nephilim. They also appear to have been "selected" in some way by the Council, rather than having sought the Council out.įirst among their council given tasks was to travel to the Far Fields where they encountered a agent of the council in the The Horsemaster, a sagely warrior and master of the Phantom Horses which made their homes there who guided them through on acquiring their own horse mounts/companions: Ruin, Despair, Rampage and Mayhem.
Though technically siblings as the entire race of Nephilim is descended directly from Absalom, the four appeared not to have known each other particularly well before they defected from the Nephilim crusade. It is said that they also got new powers and abilities from the Council which made them much more powerful than their ex-allies. The Riders are four of the Nephilim who refused to continue their bloody crusade over Creation with their brethren and swore their loyalty to the Charred Council. Death to The Keeper of Oblivion, The Abomination Vault * Theodore Lagerfield, Jr.Some of my earlier sins-my actions when I rode at the forefront of the Nephilim horde, before my brothers and I realized the extent of our transgressions and broke away-were committed in the name of beliefs and agendas to which I no longer subscribe. * Dylan Fuentes (A demented fetishist embodying, well, Lust, and one look at his getup says it all) * Jherii Gallo (An arrogant bodybuilder embodying Pride-never mistake her for a man) * Darlene Fleischermacher (A competitive eater embodying Gluttony and easily the grossest Psycho)

* Albert Contiello (An organ harvester embodying Greed, and easily one of the creepiest Psychos in the series thus far) Wouldn't be complete without the Lust Cannon. The subjects? The seven Psychopaths of Dead Rising 3 that embody the Seven Deadly Sins, along with their weapons. Since I can't recreate non-cartoony humans worth a crap in MS Paint, I decided to try my hand at a minimalistic approach.
