The Nephilim gained control of it and directed it back to the Horsemaster and his siblings, where he named it Despair as its appearance changed to bone and pale dead flesh to reflect its master.ĭeath slaying Absalom, during the war for Eden He soon grabbed a hold of one horse and mounted it. Death, silent during the exchange, charged into the stampeding horses without a backward glance. Fury and Strife proceeded to needle War about his tendency to boast, but the Horsemaster criticized them for bickering like children. War proposed a wager as to who would tame their horse first. The Horsemaster demanded that they discard their weapons as the ancient beasts they sought to tame would bow only to their will. Once Fury calmed down the pact was forged and the four became the Horsemen.ĭeath and his siblings pledge their allegianceīefore they could fully take up their mantles as the Four Horseman, the four Nephilim were sent to The Far Fields and the mysterious being known only as The Horsemaster. He led three other Nephilim War, Fury, and Strife, away from the rest of their kind, defecting to serve the Charred Council at some point before the final battle at Eden.ĭuring the ceremony of The four becoming the Council's enforcers Death was present when Fury cause ruckus as they received their powers, sarcastically commenting if Death should fetch them some tea. They were eventually sealed away by the Firstborn in the Abomination Vault, though not before many were lost or destroyed on battlefields like Kothysos. These were terrible weapons made of metal meshed with sinew, organs, and flesh, far more powerful than the Nephilim's other efforts, such as the sword Affliction and Death's scythe, Harvester. This was, indeed, the very reason they targeted the Ravaiim's world.
When the Nephilim went on their world-destroying crusade under Absalom, it was he, as the closest thing they had to a crafter, that suggested the creation of the lesser and Grand Abominations from the bodies of the Ravaiim, the race that inhabited the first world the Nephilim attacked. What is known is that he is one of the oldest of his kind, the Nephilim, one of the Firstborn. Donning his iconic mask to represent his role as executioner on the day he slaughtered his brethren, he has not removed it since.ĭeath's past is mysterious and by all indications, he prefers it that way. The Horsemen accepted, but it was Death who bore the greatest burden of guilt for the near extinction of his race. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were granted a reprieve from this fate on the condition they aid the Council’s victory over their kin. For this crime, the Charred Council condemned the Nephilim to destruction.
When Mankind was given the prize of Eden, Absalom – leader of the Nephilim – led his armies against Heaven and Hell in an attempt to steal it back. Like his fellow Horsemen, Death is of a race known as Nephilim – among the most powerful beings in the Universe.
