War

**War**, also known as **the Red Horseman**, is one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, along with Death, Famine, Conquest, and Pestilence.

After the liberation of Lucifer by Abaddon, War physically manifested on Earth for the first time in decades and went on to walk among humans spreading strife and confusion until he was tracked down by Lilian von Düseeldorf and defeated by her.

## Physical Appearence

Like other Horsemen of the Apocalypse, War is implied to have a true form, but this is never actually seen. According to Metatron descriptions, War's true form is a horned humanoid being wearing armor that covers all parts of his body.

Upon manifesting on Earth, War takes the form of a white man in his 60s with long, gray hair, wearing a suit. His red horse manifests as a 1966 Mustang.

When War manifests a physical form, he also manifest a ring to focus his abilities and ensure that the form or his vessel will be able to contain his power, the ring is gold and contains no gem.

## History

### Background

During the Primeval Wars and in response to the creation of the Protoangeloi and the Archangels, the Ayin created the Seven Deadly Sins and the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. War was the second to be created, born after Death.

When the Ayin was defeated and a deal with God was sealed, War and the other Horsemen agreed to work for God on behalf of the Natural Order.

## Personality

War displays a cold and callous attitude when talking to humans, also making his disdain for them clear. War is shown to have a very negative view of humans, stating that they only need a push to bring chaos and destruction to everything and everyone.

War also exhibits classic warrior behavior that looks forward to battle, delighting when he gets a war, even stating that he felt orgasmic when seeing the extent of World War II. War, unlike his brothers, seems to enjoy direct combat and is aware that relying purely on his powers could be bad.

War was also shown to have no real loyalty to anyone, and was willing to betray Lucifer and help Lilian von Düseeldorf in exchange for satiating his lust for battle.

After being defeated, War accepted defeat and praised Lilian, calling him a smart girl and even smiled at her before dematerializing.

## Powers and Abilities

As a Horseman and a pre-existential entity in essence, War is a powerful being, possessing a great amount of natural power.

* **Horseman Physiology**: As a Horseman, War is one of the most powerful beings in Creation, acting as a invisible force for years trigging wars and conflicts between humans, some of the worst wars that ever occurred were provoked directly by him, and he himself even claimed that if he interfered directly in wars, nothing would remain of humanity.
	+ **Nigh-Invulnerability**: War's physical form was invulnerable to almost all kinds of damage.
	+ **Immortality**: As a Horseman, he has an infinite lifespan and is un-killable, though he can be damaged and weakened.
	+ **Mid-Tier Nigh-Omnipotence**: As a Horseman, War could do almost anything that he desired, possessing a great deal of near infinite supernatural power.
		- **Ilusion Casting**: War can manipulate how people smell, hear and see him and others, which drove people to violence. This power has a radius large enough to affect an entire town, turning the inhabitants against each other by making them see and hear things that are not real.
		- **Teleportation** - War can go anywhere he chooses in the universe.
		- **Electrokinesis** - War managed to disable all forms of electronic communication in a town.
		- **Telepathy** - Like his brother Famine, War could read peoples' minds and thoughts. He was able to see Lilian's revange desire against Abaddon.
		- **Invisibility** - As a Horseman, War is naturally invisible and can only be seen if he wants others to see him, which allowed him to move unnoticed by the townspeople in River Pass.
		- **Shapeshifting** - War can alter his form at will, allowing him to pretend to be a random human he killed and left in a ditch when he first arrived on Earth.
	+ **Mid-Tier Nigh-Omniscience**: Like his brothers, War has a deep understanding of many things, due to him being older than the universe itself, and as the oldest, his knowledge exceeded all his brothers. War is also aware of almost everything that happens in Creation, including cosmic events that he did not witness, however, what prevents him from being truly omniscient is because his knowledge of events is limited to the past and present, some specific details may be lost, some powerful spells may hide something from his knowledge, as well as things purposely hidden by God.
	+ **Conceptual Omnipresence**: War is capable of existing everywhere there is some kind of war or conflict.

### Weaknesses

#### Killing

* **God:** God is the most powerful being in existence and the only one capable of definitively defeating War.
* **Pre-Existential Entities**: Other primordial entities can defeat him if they combine their powers, and while they cannot kill him, they can weaken him.
