Since the dawn of creation, the COUNCIL has maintained the balance between existence.

Carrying out their orders are the HORSEMEN, the Nephilim (powerful beings spawned from the unnatural union of angels and demons) who pledged themselves to the Council and were granted immense power.

However, this power came at a tragic cost: the Riders were ordered to use their newfound power to wipe out the rest of their kind.

What followed was a bloody battle over Eden, where the Horsemen, obeying the will of the Council, annihilated the Nephilim.

Characteristics:

- Blast angels and demons as the first playable Horseman Strife.
- Still during the events on Eden, WAR and STRIFE received a new mission.
