The **Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse** are a quartet of infamous Nephesh recorded in the Book of Revelation, tasked by the Abrahamic God with the duty of heralding the Armageddon, releasing END onto different planets and universes, including Earth.

They consisted of the White Rider, the Red Rider, the Black Rider, and the Pale Rider, with the Pale Rider being the leader of the group.

## Overview

The **Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse** are one of the most prominent Biblical figures other than the devil, alongside the antichrist and the Beast themselves.

They were said to be the first beings sent by Jesus or the devil to bring death to the majority of humanity on the Last Judgment and they are described as four men riding a white, red, black and pale horses, who represent Conquest (or Pestilence), War, Famine and Death respectively.

These horsemen are:

* White Rider, the harbinger of Conquest (or Pestilence in some sources).
* Red Rider, the harbinger of War.
* Black Rider, the harbinger of Famine.
* Pale Rider, the harbinger of Death.

## Summary

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are Nephesh - Half-Celestial offsprings of the Celestial Prince Raphael, who represents the [Primordial Despair]. Unlike other Nephesh, their only parent is Raphael as they were directly born from his despair over the actions of humanity

Each of them were born in the earliest day of human civilization, back during the age of Adam and Eve and their descendants with their birth being closely connected with the primordial humans: The Red Rider was born when Cain first attacked Abel, the Pale Rider was born when Abel took his last breath, the Black Rider was born when Cain was marked with his infamous marking, and the White Rider was born when Adam, Eve, and their remaining children mourned for both Cain and Abel.

The moment they were born, they were summoned to the Abrahamic God and were tasked with the duty of heralding the Armageddon, releasing END onto the mortal world so that the world may be born again more beautiful, which they accepted with the greatest of honor.

Their first mission was on Tellus Mahte, with them marking the end of the Edenith era. However, due to the fact several Nephilim managed to survive the Great Flood despite the Angels' direct order, their mission was deemed unsuccessful. Embarrassed, the four of them vowed to one day kill the last of the Nephilim and destroy the remnants of the Edenith civilization once and for all.

Afterward, they continue their duty, heralding the end throughout Creation, bringing forth the end to countless planets and universes, as well as the species and civilizations living within them.

At some point in history, the four of them founded the Apocalyptic Alliance, consisting of gods and mythological figures associated with the apocalypse within multiple mythologies and civilizations across the mortal world as means of minimizing the paperwork for both themselves and the Abrahamic Heavens. However, unknown to them, it quickly turned into an organization that served the purpose of decelerating their world's inevitable destruction by any means possible, regardless of the sacrifice.

According to Raphael, the Great War was supposed to kick off Earth's own Armageddon, but due to the involvement of the Three Factions, the Four Horsemen were unable to be summoned and the Earth's apocalypse was put on an indefinite hold.
