* ArchangelAzrael: Azrael is the Archangel of Death. He isn't however very involved with overseeing death or ushering souls, largely because that overlap with the thematic focus of Death, the second game's protagonist, and is instead a scholar and the protector of important places such as the Well of Souls.
** Azrael is directly, though reluctantly, responsible for causing the Apocalypse prematurely through his alliance with the angel Abaddon and the Maker Ulthane, as he destroyed six of the seven seals[[note]]The seventh would have summoned all four Horsemen at full strength, which is why they didn't destroy that particular seal and forged six false seals to hide the evidence of their crimes[[/note]] with the Armageddon Blade, in a bid by Abaddon to draw out Hell's champions and destroy Hell altogether. The plan failed as Hell was far better prepared than they expected, and the Charred Council sent the Horseman War anyway, which distracted Abaddon long enough for one of Hell's champions to kill him and then depowered War. In the 100 years after, and after being imprisoned by Abaddon (who shortly after his death agreed to serve [[GreaterScopeVillain Lucifer]]), Azrael deeply regretted his actions and willingly aided War once again when War returned to Earth, [[DeathSeeker fully expecting]] War to kill him when he no longer had any use for the angel. [[spoiler:War simply asks Azrael to send him to Abaddon's location so that War can fulfill his mission to kill Abaddon, and it's the last they ever see of each other.]]
** During the events of the prequel novel ''The Abomination Vault'', Azrael is among the angels sent to reinforce a garrison defending Eden from the Construct Army sent by the Maker Belisatra to retrieve the lost Nephilim weapons that were left from battles past. Though he and his forces emerge victorious, the carnage is so great that he feels compelled to cast powerful illusion magic to hide it; even the Horseman Death himself is almost completely fooled by the spell when the Charred Council sent him to investigate what happened. He later aids the Horsemen by supplying them vital knowledge on Belisatra and her allies, and helps Death and War defeat the true BigBad, an angel named Hadrimon, by disguising himself as Hadrimon's former lover and distracting the insane angel.

The crown and conquering suggest Conquest and the bow is linked to Pestilence (which spreads far and wide, rapidly); some translations render the "fourth part of the earth" list as "to kill by sword, by famine, by ''plague'', and by the beasts of the earth", which suggests one of the four should be responsible for it. For the black horse as Famine, the line is "he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, 'A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.'", suggesting that luxuries are flowing freely to the rich, but commoner's food is very expensive. The update from bow to guns is certainly within spec, but the crown is gone and Strife does not seem interested in conquering anything. For Fury ({{Rule63}} aside) her closer adherence to the Balance matches the symbol she is said to carry, but she is more interested in protecting humanity than in creating inequality or scarcity.

**SadlyMythtaken: The most well known classical interpretation of the four Horsemen were the white horse bearing a symbol of conquest and royalty, the red horse bearing a symbol of internal strife, civil war, and pointless slaughter, the black horse bearing a symbol of famine and inequality, and the fourth pale/pallid horse bearing Death. The KingJamesBible then says "And power was given to them over a fourth of the Apocalypse are that earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth." In antiquity, this was usually glossed as Conquest, War, Civil War/Strife/Slaughter, Famine, and Death; Death.
** Modern interpretations, particularly in pop culture, rename the white rider to Pestilencereplaces and the red rider to War, keeping Famine and Death; without Conquest in some versions. However none of the names of lineup, "to take peace from the horsemen are earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword" naturally expands to cover all forms of War and violence. However, only the fourth rider, Death, is explicitly stated named in Bible except for Death. any version of the Bible. The names Conquest (or Pestilence), War, Conquest/Pestilence, War/Slaughter, and Famine are taken from popular ''interpretations'' of how they're described their descriptions. Famous and well-researched interpretations, but DeathOfTheAuthor certainly applies[[note]]Unless you're Catholic, in which case there may be a literal WordOfGod, as delivered via the Bible.
