In addition to above, Strife is much more open about his enjoyment of combat.Strife, from what has been seen of him, is much more laid-back about his duties and has intentionally gone against the Council's hidden agenda by aiding in the defense of humanity. Despite her arrogance, Fury has taken her job very seriously to pursue her ambition and believes wholeheartedly in the Council's mission of balance.Also, Death sided with the Charred Council because the Nephilim needed to be stopped but holds regret over his role in their demise, while Fury is implied to have joined the winning side to save her own skin, though she neither confirms nor denies this. Fury, meanwhile, covets his position and is motivated by her need to prove she's the greatest of the four. Death is the de-facto leader of the Horseman and couldn't care less about it, opting to just do his job with utmost efficiency.In Genesis, he's still an experienced warrior, but he's much more aggressive and short-tempered than in the first game. War also has this example with himself.Death is an arrogant Deadpan Snarker who's not as heartless as he lets on, and uses his agility to dance his way around enemies and obstacles. War is easily characterized as being a blunt but fairly quiet warrior eternally steeped in Tranquil Fury, who generally defeats his foes with brute force and sheer unrelenting tenacity.Contrasting Sequel Main Character: Each successively playable Horseman is distinctly different from the last, both in terms of their personality and gameplay.Death: Pale (or green, according to the Greek translation of the Bible).Color-Coded for Your Convenience: In case players forget which color horse they have, here's a list.Anthropomorphic Personification: Averted the Horsemen's names are ultimately just names since they are not an interpretation of their Biblical counterparts.Born of Heaven and Hell: The Nephilim (and by extension, the Horsemen) were created from the essence of angels and demons.Bond Creature: Played with - in the Death's Door graphic novel, the Horsemaster mentions that the only way to truly 'bond' with a phantom horse is to tame it by sheer force of will alone.Blood Knight: All of them have been depicted as this in varying degrees in either the games or expanded material.Cruelly Averted in Darksiders III as Rampage is mortally wounded. Beast of Battle: In Darksiders and Darksiders II, players can use Ruin and Despair respectively to charge through enemies.Action Pet: Fittingly enough, each of the Horsemen's steeds.
