The Four Horsemen (War, Strife, Fury, and Death) are the last of the Nephilim, a fusion of angel and demon, who waged a bloody war on the rest of creation. To preserve the Balance of the Universe, the Four Horsemen received incredible powers from the Charred Council in exchange for slaughtering their brethren. Disobeying the Council's orders, Death trapped the souls of his fallen brethren in an amulet. When War is charged with the crime of bringing about the Apocalypse early, Death sets out on a personal mission to prove his brothers innocence and resurrect humanity.
