Apocalypse

## Overview

Apocalypse is a prophecy of the oncoming end of the world.

The end will involve Lilith collecting a group of Harbingers. Once they are collected the End will come soon. The identity of the Harbingers can change. If a Harbinger is killed, their role can be inherited by an entity that killed them by absorbing the powers.

Azazel is also attempting to bring it about and begin a war between Heaven and Hell.

Among the Harbingers are:

* The Horsemen - Four Horsemen of the Revelation
	+ War - Xingtian (also known as the Headless Horsemen) is a god of ancient Chinese mythology who challenged another god for supremacy. His head was severed but he still fought on. He's the child of Destruction of the Endless and goddess Xiwangmu, caretaker of the Peaches of Immortality and a goddess of creation, destruction, life, and death. The Headless Horsemen was summoned by Brandish Descry and Gwendoline Fletcher, using a scroll they stole from the Sheeda. They used him in an attempt to kill Ichabod Crane. After some time the two summoners dismissed him. Something happened during the Manhattaning and the Horsemen renewed his pursuit. Currently he waits for Crane to get close to attack him.
	+ Conquest - It is believed that the Endling and Dream Vortex, Rose Walker is the rider of the white horse in the book of revelations.
* The Whore - The identity of the Whore is Ruby.
* The Behemoth - One of the three Great Beasts
	+ The original Behemoth was a great beast. It was slain by Belphegor and HIM in order to acquire the Right Hand of Doom.
	+ Hellboy - Son of Azazel. Hellboy's right hand was chopped off and replaced with the Right Hand of Doom. Hellboy can transform into the Great Beast of Revelation and under Ruby's influence did so during the Hell on Earth.
	+ HIM also possesses an appendage taken from Behemoth, which he fused to himselves.
* The Leviathan - One of the three Great Beasts
* The Dragon - One of the three Great Beasts
	+ The original Dragon was a being known as Ziz. It was described as either a dragon, a sky-beast or massive bird. The beast's wingspan was able to plunge the world below into darkness.
	+ Primordial god Sin killed Ziz and absorbed its powers, throught that also inherited the role of the Dragon. Sin was later killed by his children Inanna and Shamash, and his souls became the Seven Deadly Sins.
	+ In 1987 Trigon attempted to endow himself with the power of the Seven Deadly Sins. He found the power too great for him, but he was unable to let go of it. With the help of Azazel's witch Rasputin rituals were undertaken. The powers of the Sins was implanted into seven children on Earth, meanwhile Trigon inherited some power and the role of the Dragon.

Apocalypse will also involve three beings that shall become one.

Hell on Earth was an attempt to start the Apocalyse by Azazel.

The beginning of the End truly began in the late 2016.
