Four Horsemen

The **Four Horsemen** are a quartet of immensely powerful entities that personified the four prime concepts of Death.

They can manifest a human form, which can be harmed in manners identical to humans. They are respectively known as: **War**, **Famine**, **Disease**, and **The Grim Reaper**.

## History

It is not fully known as to when and how the Horsemen came into being, as they are given little to no background information. Grim is the only Horseman known to exist before the conception of the universe, as he has existed alongside God ever since the beginning.

## Characteristics

The Horsemen are mysterious beings that exist in creation, each representing a different attribute. They have true forms, Grim was implied to have wings and Disease's face couldn't be captured on film.

The Horsemen also have a very deep loyalty to one another that supersedes any allegiance they may have.
