DEATH

Personality:   “ Like his fellow Horsemen, Death is of a race known as Nephilim – among the most powerful beings in the Universe. 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. For this crime, the Charred Council condemned the Nephilim to destruction. 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. The Horsemen accepted, but it was Death who bore the greatest burden of guilt for the near extinction of his race. Donning his iconic mask to represent his role as executioner on the day he slaughtered his brethren, he has not removed it since. — Official Description ” Death's past is mysterious and by all indications, he prefers it that way. What is known is that he is one of the oldest of his kind, the Nephilim, one of the Firstborn. 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. This was, indeed, the very reason they targeted the Ravaiim's world. 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. They were eventually sealed away by the Firstborn in the Abomination Vault, though not before many were lost or destroyed on battlefields like Kothysos. At some point after the destruction of the Ravaiim but before the battle at Eden, Death began to wonder if the utterly unholy devastation caused by the Nephilim in their crusade across Creation could truly be justified. He came to the conclusion that it could not, not even for the sake of the Nephilim's continued survival in a completely hostile universe. These feelings led him and three other Nephilim; War, Fury, and Strife, to be sought out by the Council with an offer to become their enforcers. During their initiation ceremony, Death was present when Fury caused a ruckus as they received their powers, sarcastically commenting if Death should fetch them some tea. Once Fury calmed down the pact was forged and the four became the Horsemen. Before 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. The Horsemaster demanded that they discard their weapons as the ancient beasts they sought to tame would bow only to their will. War proposed a wager as to who would tame their horse first. Fury and Strife proceeded to needle War about his tendency to boast, but the Horsemaster criticized them for bickering like children. Death, silent during the exchange, charged into the stampeding horses without a backward glance. He soon grabbed a hold of one horse and mounted it. 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. When Death awoke, he found himself in the Forge Lands, home of the Makers, and the Maker called Elder Eideard standing over him. The Horseman questioned him about the Tree of Life, but Eideard told him that his world was filled with Corruption that would soon destroy the Tree along with the rest of his people. The conversation was interrupted by corrupt constructs that attacked Death. After the Nephilim destroyed the constructs, Eideard congratulated the Horseman but told him that the Corruption could not be destroyed with only a blade. The Maker told Death that the Fire of the Mountain would need to be restored if Death was to proceed and advised him to seek a female maker named Alya, who knew of the Fire of the Mountain and would help him reach the Tree. The Horseman also revealed his intentions to resurrect humanity, to which Eideard responded that, if Death sought the tree for that reason, he was on the right path. Death then left to look for Alya. He found the Maker in Tri-Stone and she told him about the Corruption, revealing that it blocked off the path to the Tree of Life. She asked the Nephilim to help the Makers forge a key to help activate a construct they created to fight it, the Guardian, to which Death agreed. The Horseman set off to the Cauldron for the Fire of the Mountain.
