"Forgive me, bringing of the end, but a contributor to the apocalypse cannot hurt another. There is only one goal for us now. This world has been filled with sinners for eons, and now they all shall be punished. Life will not end with a bang, but with a sad, hushed whimper. You are the beast of revelations. You are the one who shall line up the lambs for the slaughter, as you have done for the black lamb. This is not a curse. This is destiny. This is the sinners' fate."

- Death

The Horsemen are four beings that rallied together to destroy the world. Joined together by Aaron Fenrir, these were once Plants that lived ordinary lives before the curse of Gourdonia was unleashed. After the incident, Fenrir set out to rally three other Plants–Attor Saxan, Ophelia Stheno, and Gardi Cryptaris–and sacrifice Jack so that they could become harbingers of destruction. Since then, they have allied themselves with Rustbolt and help him torment and pick off the Resistance.

Members

 * Attor Saxan: The first Horseman, Attor is a bounty hunter that works on his own to protect himself and his three siblings. He held an intense vendetta against Jack and blamed him for the death of Attor's parents. He was convinced by Fenrir to "let go" of his hatred, and joined him in his conquest. When Jack was killed, he transformed into a massive white bird with knives for feathers and a plague mask for a head. However, he encountered his siblings, who convinced him to turn back to normal. Attor joined the Resistance after this, though he still lives at risk of transforming back into a Horseman once more, usually whenever his siblings are captured or he is around the diseased.
 * Ophelia Stheno: Ophelia is the second Horseman. She is a Tangle Kelp that was abused by her mother and treated like a freak. She encountered the Resistance while they were in Los Angeles and made friends with their leader, Penelopea Sativum. When she was wounded in a fight against the Resistance, Fenrir captured her and invited her to the Last Supper. Jack managed to sneak her out of Gourdonia and told Miyagi to keep her safe, only for her to get captured by Mecha-Leeroy and subsequently fall into the hands of the Resistance. She was the last of the four to accept her fate and became a titanic red snake after Jack was killed. She normally sent smaller snakes to manipulate her victims into fighting and killing each other before entering and doing the work herself. After a few attacks on the Resistance, Penelopea managed to turn her back to her normal form, and she joined the Resistance(much to Attor's annoyance). The Resistance must be especially careful that they do not fight amongst each other too much, lest Ophelia transform back into War.
 * Gardi Cryptaris: Gardi is the Third Horseman and possibly the strongest. He worked as a teacher and an archaeologist, but found himself disappointed in his careers; his students never listened to him and he only found one artifact in his lifetime. When the curse hit, he died and became a phantom that was witch-hunted out of Gourdonia. He hid in the town's outskirts and graveyards, feeding on graves and offerings left for him. Over time, Cryptaris became resentful and apathetic, believing he had no purpose in life. Fenrir found and convinced him to become a Horseman, and he obliged. After Jack's death, he transformed into a colossal black spider made of vines that could control pests like pigs, snakes, and insects. He would torment the Resistance on many occassions, especially Sunny Flarius, but was attacked by the possessed Jack and was forced back to normal. He grudgingly tagged along with Attor and Ophelia, for he felt he could not do anything else. However, Penelopea decided to let him into the Resistance and promised him a better "life". Cryptaris must manage his perpetual hunger carefully; if he becomes too hungry, he will transform into Famine.
 * Aaron Fenrir: The last Horseman and the one that gathered them all. Fenrir was a Grimrose priest before abruptly vanishing from the public eye. It was revealed that he became a cult leader that worshipped an eldritch goddess that was to unleash a curse on Gourdonia. He contained this curse in a candle, until Jack accidentally blew it out. Fenrir died and came back as an etheral being that weakened Tisiki and destroyed his curse. He would later attempt to kill the revived Miyagi Mayonaka, only to be driven off. Fenrir would revive himself in a physical body and set out to rally the Horsemen and kill Jack, whom he claimed was the "black lamb". After doing so, Jack was kiled by Rustbolt. Fenrir transformed into a pale wolf-like monstrosity and submitted himself to Rustbolt's rule. Fenrir is the only Horseman that has not returned to normal. With the Horseman still on the prowl, seeking innocents to kill and corpses to possess, he must be treated with caution.
