In fact, where Fury went was the Council's Chamber, where Envy was making use of her power as well as twisted parodies of her brothers' weapons to slay the Council members, planning to wait out the resulting chaos between Heaven and Hell, kill whoever was left and take over. Fury arrived on the scene, silenced the Council when they barked demands at her and did the final battle with Envy. After a grueling battle Fury defeated Envy and reclaimed her stolen power; the now revealed to be corrupt Council moved to incapacitate her, but she stymies their assault using the Stone Sigil received from the Lord of Hollows.
They demand she deliver it unto them but Fury refuses, boasting that not only does the truth feel good, but of the revelation that what she holds in her hand can potentially destroy them.
When they continued their assault, the beleaguered Horseman managed to cover her escape while shattering Envy's amulet in an explosion, fleeing from the Council, who now knew what she knew. She soon arrived back at Haven, where a Council-sponsored attack by the Destroyer 's army was on its way. While Haven was under assault by the forces of the Second Kingdom, the Black Rider finally understood why Heaven, Hell and the Charred Council among others all wish to see mankind eradicated.
Fury then professed to all the humans present that they were created for a great purpose and were left defenseless because of it, that throughout the cosmos celestial beings feared them and used every underhanded method they could to deride them at every opportunity. However, she also said that this fear could be used against them, and through which humanity could beat them all. Ulthane then interjected that, given what was left of mankind, they were in no real shape to fight anybody, much less everybody.
To that, the Horseman stated they needed to hide, something which Ulthane agreed with just as the Destroyer's forces drew closer to the Makers' outpost. While the other Makers went to buy time for shuttling the remains of the Third Kingdom away, Ulthane explained to Fury that they could evacuate the humans to Fury's heart's desire using the Reflecting Pool to someplace safe from the council and everyone who wishes them harm.
As the fighting outside intensified, it was made clear that they would be overrun in minutes. Looking at the human wards then back to the Maker in question, Fury declared that she would serve as guardian to the last remnants of humankind, and protect them until the day they could set things right again.
With most of the human survivors safely ported away, Fury requested that Ulthane assist her brother War should they meet, seeing now that he was innocent all along, to which Ulthane agreed.
While exiting via the Reflecting Pool, she looked back to see the sanctuary's main forces fighting off the Destroyer's armies one final time. She saw Jones helping the Makers fight off the Demons, and it is revealed that Jones was really her brother and fellow Horseman, Strife , who had been motivating her all along.
Though surprised, she gave out a thankful smile after calling out his name to herself while departing to parts unknown. Fury is described as the most unpredictable and enigmatic of the Four Horsemen. She is confident and driven, taking great pride in her abilities. She is also loyal to The Charred Council.
More so than either War or Death , despite not having any real reverence of them, and wants the Horsemen as a whole to be well-respected and renowned.
As with a great many throughout creation, unlike her Brothers, it is inferred that while Fury fights to maintain the Balance and its functional norm. She herself was never truly adamant about maintaining universal stability much less in believing in such a concept; despite her taking great offense when seeing Angels and Demons willingly depart the endless cycle of life, death and rebirth via Hollowing, spiting them as cowards for abandoning their duty to uphold the cosmic order.
Fury only really followed orders from the council as a means of securing power and prestige more for herself than for anything or anyone else, as well as to save herself from extinction, a fate which befell the rest of the Nephilim race. Fury desired to be the leader of the Four Horseman [5] and believes that the position of leader is rightfully hers. After experiencing Lust's Illusions however, this desire seems to have faded. Fury is well aware that she is the least favored among the Horsemen, towards enemy and ally alike.
This is evident in her interactions with her enemies, as almost all of them have displayed acute antipathy and talked down towards her. Wrath once stating that his brothers mentioned her as the dumb one. While searching for the Abomination Vault , she appeared to be calmer than her brothers; she released a hiss of breath when Strife held Death at gunpoint and tried to reason with Death about his plan to catch Belisatra and Hadrimon.
Like Death, Fury also cares deeply about her siblings as is shown when she put her arm around Death's arm and was worried about him when he was gone for half a century. Fury seems to possess a bit of blood-lust as when she was asked if she accepts the task of destroying the Seven Deadly Sins, she accepted with pleasure all while giving a faint smile. Fury seems to possess a sadistic side as she enjoyed hearing the sound of the dismemberment of angels at the hand of one of the Seven Deadly Sins, Wrath, calling it music to her ears, and admired "the handiwork" of War in starting the Apocalypse and destroying mankind.
Also, Fury hates boredom and would do anything for something to do, even hoping that she would kill an entire planet full of demons. This is likely a primary trait of hers: her lack of patience. Even towards the Charred Council, Fury's patience is always on a short fuse and it takes a lot of effort from her to maintain a level of calm. However, despite her rather brusque attitude, Fury displayed considerable affection and kindness towards her steed, Rampage , calling him her closest companion throughout her years as a Horseman.
As such, she was horrified to witness her steed impaled and bleeding to death, driving her into a wrathful rage that left her unbalanced in the face of Wrath's attacks. She was further enraged to see Rampage's corpse chewed and defiled by Gluttony. Despite this, she made peace with what has happened and avenged her steed, though Fury remains saddened over Rampage's death.
According to Lust , Fury seems to hold a certain antagonism towards her brethren and displays some indifference towards them, as was shown by her behavior towards War. It's possible her resentments stem from being the least favored among the Four.
Fury was convinced that War had triggered the premature apocalypse and by the time she met her brother after the accusation against him of starting the untimely end of the world had been placed, she didn't seem to care about him at all. Despite any friction, Fury does care about her siblings, as shown by her furious reaction to Lust's illusion of the other of the Four kneeling to her which, in Fury's eyes, was disrespecting their dignity.
After discovering the Charred Council's corruption, Fury realizes War's innocence and asked the Ulthane to aid him if War were to come to Earth , and was happy to see Strife before departing from the planet. During her hunt for the Sins, Fury generally possessed a vain and arrogant side as well, while annoyed with the Watcher tasked to guide her in her hunt for the Sins, she grew accustomed to her sycophantic words.
She also refuses to believe that she is being used by the Charred Council in their grand machinations and scorns the wisdom of others. Often refusing their aid outright when offered, haughtily believing that she could complete any mission on her own without anyone's help, likely finding it a sign of weakness. Slowly but surely, Fury comes to realize that she ended up embodying each of the sins; being lazy, wrathful, lusting for power and prestige, being prideful in that she believes she is entitled to something or seeing herself as superior to others and jealous of others for having what she desires most; hence the antagonism born towards her three brothers.
In this, over the course of her journey and after being used and bested by Envy, Fury is left humbled and wizened.
Though she remains rather overtly confident and sadistic, she has become considerably calmer. This is shown in considerable fashion as she played The Crucible , where she seemingly shared her having similar enmities and council with the brother of Kargon.
Fury originally did not possess a fond view on humanity , believing them to be "tragically overrated" and wasn't bothered in the least by the destruction wrought upon them during the premature apocalypse.
Another view that used to be radically different compared to that of her brothers, all of whom at least possessed some respect for man's potential and importance to the Balance; Strife in particular, who took up residence with the Haven refugees disguised as one of them to ensure their safety.
Throughout her journey, she would continually look down upon them and their dismal fate along her journey for the Sins on Earth, calling them derogatory terms like useless, apes or hairless simians and often brushing off anything concerning the safety of any survivors.
Demonstrated when either cruelly jesting at how hideously outclassed they were when the false final battle took place as she gazed upon the human city's decimated remains, questioning their intelligence as she walks through a man-made cathedral sitting in disrepair; given the way they wasted so much time fighting over symbolism, ideologies or differing faiths when they had the jewel of creation all to themselves, as well as pitying their hubris while looking at more ruins of the Human Race's shattered towers while trekking through demon occupied territories.
Stating they were a pathetic species whose worthlessness was superseded by the shared misguided belief that they controlled the destiny of their world. Her inadvertence towards mankind bordered outright fascist denial, even after her long journey had already laid bare a great many of the hidden truths behind the conspiracy surrounding early happenstance before and during her final encounter with the Lord of Hollows.
Going so far as to call it flattery while he addresses their true significance within the story. However, The Blackhammer convinces her to spare and direct any lingering humans towards Haven in exchange for his craftsmanship and information. Even then, she does not hide her contempt; as she mostly did it so the Blackhammer would owe her in the long run instead of the other way around.
Despite this egotistic enmity, however, she did develop a morsel of respect for Jones when he speaks to her unafraid. This also entails a side of hypocrisy and ignorance on her part, given how easily she is duped into playing into the schemes of others around her due to pride and belligerence clouding her judgment. Thus giving credence to others writing her off as the least of her four brethren. Fury's high handed condescending tone either shows incredible indifference or blatant tunnel vision as to her own and others of the cosmic scopes actions.
Of the fact that despite all of humanities' numerous faults, members of the other two kingdoms and beyond are infinitely worse. The Horsemen herself stands as a stark representation of the reckless, narcissistic nature seen on end from other cosmic entities and their perpetual forever war would entail a long-standing conflict stemming from egotism, persecution, hatred, and convoluted manipulations both from heaven and hell.
On top of the outright wild, irresponsible and pointlessly destructive if not borderline omnicidal antics of the Nephilim. Something that Jones pointed out to her in their initial meeting in regards to how said contention which destroyed the Earth made them all look so completely and utterly idiotic.
To it, her lack of insight has enabled a great many to take advantage of her to further their own agenda. The Charred Council; who likened her to a petulant child while planning her destruction, allowing humanity to burn and having angels spear her horse, Envy; pointing out she was no better than the "human apes", given how the sin played the horsemen against her other siblings then stole part of said rider's power for herself, even the wildly known conniver Vulgrim suckered her into wiping out the Keepers of the Serpent Holes for him without realizing it till too late.
Ultimately, though she wouldn't admit it aloud, Fury developed a better understanding and respect for humanity after being betrayed and cast aside by the Charred Council, which is much like how they were when the apocalypse started. She also learns from the Lord of the Hollows that while Angels and Demons were made what they are from the Creator and will likely never truly change, humanity's purpose was to grow and evolve, to become something that would embody the Balance, something that the other major cosmic forces greatly fear.
Thus this fear of humanity led to the conspiracy that Fury and her brothers learn of later on. Resolving to protect humanity as her new purpose, Fury vowed to use all her power to defend and teach the humans until the time comes to exact justice. As one of the four remaining Nephilim and one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Fury is an extremely powerful entity with abilities of preternatural strength and power similar to her brothers.
However, unlike her two brothers, War and Death, she is not strictly a warrior, but rather a blade mage; relying on using a combination of magic and her bladed whip to slaughter her enemies and restore the balance of good and evil. Fury also uses telekinesis to tears her enemies apart. During her mission in which she alone has to find, defeat and collect all seven deadly sins, she grows beyond herself.
Due to support and influence of the Lord of the Hollows, Strife and humanity herself, she was able to unleash her true power and find her true self to live up to her fate as the protector of humanity. Her power and strength were enough to defeat Envy after absorbing the powers of all other six sins and able to use abilities and weapons of her brothers.
Fury was also powerful enough to withstand the concentrate force of the Council, and for a moment strong enough to reflect the force of the attack. It is unknown how powerful Fury compares to her brothers after being purified and incorporated with all Hollows. Unknown, if she succeeded in this aim in any way. It is unknown who forged Salvation, one of five holy Crossblades wielded by Heaven's strongest angels. Throughout the game, Fury acquires spheres of magical energy from the enigmatic Lord of the Hollows as she defeats the Seven Deadly Sins and proves her worth.
Like her brothers, Fury also has access to a form where she unleashes the majority of her power. While using Havoc Form, Fury doubles in height, turns crimson, and acquires a second whip with which to strike.
Using a Hollow when Havoc form activates will imbue the temporary giant with elemental powers. Theological: "When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, 'Come! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded to be a voice among the four living creatures, saying, 'Two pounds of wheat for a day's wages, and six pounds of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the olive oil and the wine!
Darksiders Wiki Explore. Darksiders Series. Bestiary Bosses. Explore Wikis Community Central. He argued saying that "times had changed" and Death wasn't in charge anymore. He eventually pulled his gun on Death, yet surrendered after the reaper stared him down. During the events of the premature apocalypse it was said by the council that Strife was 'Tending to other matters.
Strife infiltrated the Maker born Sanctuary Haven disguised as the human known as Jones. There he encountered his sister Fury presumably for the first time in centuries where he angrily called her out for her callous disregard for the humans caught between Heaven and Hell's war and secretly voiced his own disillusionment with his duties with the Charred Council.
During Fury's battle with Lust , an illusion of Strife appeared to her along with their brothers. He told her he had dealt with the other Sins , but Fury later saw through the pale imitation of her brothers after the three of them bowed submissively to her.
Later at the end of the game Jones revealed his true identity as Strife as he, Ulthane and the Makers helped Fury and the remaining human survivors escape when Abaddon , reborn as the Destroyer, commanded his troops to kill them all.
When Death managed to restore the Cauldron and allowed the Makers to use their forge again Alya , a Maker , gave Death one of Strife's guns, Redemption. Death noted that it's the weapon of his brother and asked how it ended up with the Makers. However, Alya could not tell him. Ulthane gave Strife's other revolver Mercy to War after he went to "visit" him after taking care of The Griever.
War promptly used the gun to try to threaten Ulthane into sharing information on what he knew, without success. Due to being the last Horseman to be introduced, Strife's personality differs greatly depending on the canon.
In the novel, Strife is stubborn, impatient, sarcastic, and rude. He also has a short temper, evidenced by his argument with Death , although his temper does not seem to be as short as that of his brother War 's. He is also disagreeable with others, going so far he challenges Death 's authority. According to Panoptos ' claims, there is a certain friction between Strife and his brother Death as Strife "warned" Panoptos that Death is "a sarcastic bastard".
This is cemented by Strife holding a gun to Death's head when the latter ordered the younger three horsemen to stay behind while he searched for the culprits behind the attempts to enter the Abomination Vault.
Strife's attitude seems to exasperate Death to the point the elder horseman has complained to the Charred Council several times about his attitude and behavior. Death states that he is faithful to the Charred Council, despite his attitude, but not entirely loyal either. In the comics, Strife calmly hopes he and his siblings will walk into a trap in order to have reason to fight, suggesting that he enjoys combat.
He holds people to their responsibilities, once telling War, who boasted he "single-handedly brought the Legions of Anubis to their knees", that it was his duty to, as War was the one who riled them up to begin with. Strife does not waste time when it comes to business and will make examples of people to teach a lesson to others.
This is evidenced by how he silenced the demonic hordes who taunted the horsemen as they departed after having delivered a message to Samael by shooting off the foot of one of the demons who yelled "Kill the Riders!
Another time, when the other Horsemen were sent to wrangle a defiant War, Strife then stepped in after War attacked Fury and impaled Death, who then chopped off War's arm, stopping things from escalating to a full-out battle. According to his sister Fury's claims to the Council when they stated that the matter of the Seven Deadly Sins needs delicate attention, Strife is the "delicate one" among the Horsemen, though she seems to rather sarcastic upon making that remark.
When masquerading as a human named Jones , Strife provided insight for Fury on how humans feel during their time in the Apocalypse: How they feel incapable of fighting both Heaven and Hell efficiently, getting dragged into a conflict they wanted no part of and are now being forced to hide for survival. In this time, Strife may be the only member of the Horsemen who truly knew humanity and understood how they felt, showing a great capability to empathize with them. As a result, Strife manages to discreetly convince his sister to change her view of mankind and find renewed purpose in being their protector before exacting justice.
Due to this, Strife possesses genuine respect for humanity and their role in the universe, seemingly seeking to aid them in his own free will. In Darksiders Genesis , which shows Strife in his early days as a Horseman, Strife demonstrates an easy-going, wise-cracking, and almost child-like personality.
He shown to enjoy making jokes or boasting in battle, often making light of dire situations, though he is still dedicated and decisive to the mission at hand.
He is prone to collecting souvenirs and items from battles, such as when he and War confronted Mammon , he was briefly distracted by a gold rocking horse figurine that the demon chucked at him.
Strife is also one of the few characters in the franchise to swear. He also enjoys agitating demons on a whim, such as when he tells Samael that his previous foreman called him a 'Piss-ant'. Despite his laid-back demeanor, Strife can be serious when needed and often makes thoughtful remarks, like questioning the wisdom of leaving all of Mammon's gold behind since Samael would likely use it to raise an army.
However, Strife has a very short temper and is prone to shooting impulsively rather than thinking things through. His devil-may-care attitude leads him to look into vague trails and unreliable information, due to having full confidence he can simply fight his way out of dangerous predicaments.
Strife constantly looks out for his self-interest, even while serving The Charred Council. While shown to have a close relationship with War, Strife's insistence on self-perseverance and personal gain, against War's sense of duty to the balance and faith in the Charred council, keeps the two at odds.
The most pressing issue of conflict between the two was the extermination of the Nephilim, where Strife continued to question why the Charred Council would make such a decision, War would state it was for the sake of the balance, causing Strife great frustration over War's lack of remorse. It was only when War was also shown to harbor feelings of remorse for the extinction of the Nephilim, that the two would become more open with each other.
While Strife initially preferred to keep his past private, his brotherly bond with War helped him to open up about his past as someone who enjoyed killing and was ashamed of his past actions. Although Strife didn't explain to War exactly what he did, he promised his younger brother that one day he will tell him everything. Among the positive aspects of their relationship, Strife would be shown heeding War's wisdom about the Horsemen's purpose and the balance while War would sometimes make jokes, though both would deny it had anything to do with them getting along with each other, albeit unconvincingly.
As one of the last remaining four Nephilim and one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Strife is an extremely powerful being with supernatural powers and abilities. He is an excellent marksman with his dual revolvers Mercy and Redemption, which he also has the supernatural ability to load up with a variety of different kinds of elemental ammunition each of which has it's own unique firing effect as well as having enough firepower to destroyed supernatural monsters.
Strife has shown to be able to kill countless legions of powerful demons. He can also jump and fire several rounds simultaneously. Like his siblings, Strife gathers energy by attacking his enemies with his main weapons, and once a critical mass has been achieved unleashes a form resembling a black huge horned goblin with a scorpion tail for a ponytail and a mini-gun for a hand.
The first horseman and rider of the white horse is normally known as Conquest. This identification with disease is due to the horseman carrying a bow, whose arrows were identified with Apollo and Artemis. In Greek mythology, illnesses were believed to be caused by their arrows. Darksiders deviates from both names, opting instead to call him Strife.
Instead of a bow, the horseman's version in Darksiders appears to have had his weaponry updated, though he still fires projectiles. For more information see the corresponding article on Wikipedia.
He has been known for being hot headed for battle, but is willing to put his duty before his lust for blood. It is this very lust that has made him unfavorable to anyone who has clashed steel with the young Horseman, including the forces of Heaven and Hell. At the start of Darksiders War is framed for starting the Apocolypse early. In that game he sets out to prove his innocence, and it is in Darksiders 2 that Death, his brother, sets out to redeem his brother as well.
Death is the oldest of the Horsemen, and he is one of the first born Nephilim. He is immensely powerful, often being called the most powerful of the four. What Death lacks in raw strength he makes up for in agility and magic, being greatly knowledgeable in necromancy. His often stoic and calm demeanor is unsettling to his enemies, and even his allies. His bone mask hides any possible hint of emotion that his face might betray.
He is loyal to the balance and his brothers. Death has learned over the centuries that even the Charred Council might not know what is best, and he is often at times working without orders from the council at all.
Fury is the third Horseman of the Apocolypse. She uses a whip against her foes.
