Character Description

For all those members of Xboxaddict that is itching to get there hands on this game I put together here a description of each character that will be in the game. Read up and Enjoy.

War & Ruin
http://media.ign.com/darksiders/img/characters/lge/war_n_ruin.jpg
The Horseman War has charged into countless battles astride his spectral steed Ruin, leaving a trail of blood and bones in his wake. His eyes and hair are as white as the chill he casts on his enemies, for the fury of his sword is unmatched. As unyielding as time itself, War is both honourable and savage.

When summoned to the Final War, the Horseman’s task was to purge the Earth and bring the Kingdoms of Heaven and Hell into a new era. But he was betrayed, and his actions wrote the end to the chapter of man. Now, War seeks his revenge. Surely, only the Horseman’s wrath can burn away the pure evil of the Destroyer’s reign.

Ruin is the legendary steed of the Horseman War. When Ruin emerges from the earth in a cloud of swirling flame, his master’s enemies are truly doomed. Astride his mount, War strikes harder, faster, and wider, his powers magnified by the stallion beneath him.

Across the cursed planes of Earth, nothing will escape the blazing union of War and Ruin.

Charred Council

There is but one authority in the universe that cannot be questioned the Charred Council. These three omniscient beings, bound by ancient laws, are charged with preserving the balance between Heaven, Hell and the Kingdom of Man. To oppose the Council’s edicts is to invite terrible retribution at the hands of its enforcers, the dreaded Four Horsemen.

When he stands accused of the Apocalypse, not even the Horseman War can escape.

Abaddon

The archangel Abaddon was once a valiant warrior of the Light, feared by Hell’s minions and respected by the angels who served under him. His fierce determination to rid the world of infernal corruption was as strong as any weapon. But in the heat of battle, even an iron will can be sundered.

Abaddon led the Heavenly Host into combat during the first desperate hours of the Apocalypse, slaughtering uncounted demons-until the Horseman War distracted him. An instant’s hesitation was all that the demon Straga needed to crush Abaddon and drag him into the depths of Hell. The Army of Light has yet to recover from the shattering loss of their champion.

Uriel

Uriel was always one of Heaven’s most noble warriors-but when Abaddon fell, something broke inside of her. Though her blade is now dull with the gore of a thousand demons, she continues to lead the Hellguard across the Earth in an endless search for more to slay. Yet it is clear that no amount of demon blood will ever calm Uriel’s anguished rage, or reopen the gates of Heaven.

Ulthane

Ulthane is an Old One with a unique perspective on the endless machinations of Heaven and Hell-they don’t concern him one bit. He greets demons and angels alike with a wink, a merry whistle, and the business end of his black hammer.

The only thing Ulthane takes seriously is the shaping of steel. Among the ranks of legendary weapon makers, he is unmatched. His own strength manifests in every line and curve-swords that could kill gods, and armour that could defy them. The Destroyer will not allow such weapons to be forged again.

Samael
http://media.ign.com/darksiders/img/characters/lge/samael.jpg
Samael is a demon of terrible power and warped beauty. His black wings are hideously inverted, a cruel mockery of the angels he has battled for so long. To look upon Samael is to know the true face of evil.

Samael rejected the Destroyer’s rule. For this, he was imprisoned for eternity. Now, his every thought is of vengeance. His rage throbs from the heart of the Scalding Gallows. Could the redemption of this bleak world lie with one so utterly consumed by fury?

The Watcher
http://media.ign.com/darksiders/img/characters/lge/watcher.jpg
The Charred Council is not averse to evil. Rather, they embrace it as part of the balance they’re sworn to protect. The Watcher is an example of such tolerance. Spiteful, fast talking and cruel, he is nevertheless one of the Council’s most trusted servants.

Empowered by the Council, the Watcher flagrantly tortures and humiliates his charges, dripping poisonous insults and sarcasm onto their prostrate forms. When War runs afoul of the Charred Council, the Watcher jumps at the chance to lay the mighty Horseman low. Proof that even demons should be careful what they wish for....

The Destroyer
http://media.ign.com/darksiders/img/characters/lge/destroyer.jpg
This is the Destroyer’s kingdom. The demons howl his name as they sharpen their knives. The angels scream it as their flesh is shorn away. The mangled corpses of man rise to serve him, his will coursing through their veins. Hell’s victory in the Final War has carried the Destroyer to triumphal heights. Those who stood against him were slain or shackled... forgotten. Now his Black Throne dominates the horizon, crackling with its unholy aura. Nothing stands between the Destroyer and an eternity of ruin.

The Abyssal Riders are Hell’s cavalry, armed to eliminate any who oppose the Destroyer. Beneath their armour, the Riders are cracked and pale, their flesh barely able to contain the hellfire that roils within. They can release this energy in sorcerous attacks, or channel it into their shrieking phantom steeds. From across the Destroyer’s bleak kingdom they can be heard, the pounding hooves rolling over the dunes, like the distant beat of Death’s Drum.

Yeah well I have either the choice of shelling out my money for all the games I want or going to sakuracon (Don't judge me :)) with friends and drumcorp again so I'm trying to find a nice middle ground if its possible.
