Darksiders II Preview: Death Comes for Us All

Chad Hunter



Death is coming – The Pale Rider is set to launch onto game consoles in Darksiders 2!  Here at Zombies & Toys, we’ll be feature coverage of the dead and undead-filled game so stay tuned!  This post is an introduction to the main man himself, Death.  Meet him and above all, don’t fear the reaper.


 “Death - The Reaper of Souls"



Like his fellow Horsemen, Death is of a race known as Nephilim – among the most powerful beings in the Universe.  When Mankind was given the prize of Eden, Absalom – leader of the Nephilim – led his armies against Heaven and Hell in an attempt to steal it back. For this crime, the Charred Council condemned the Nephilim to destruction. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were granted a reprieve from this fate on the condition they aid the Council’s victory over their kin. The Horsemen accepted, but it was Death who bore the greatest burden of guilt for the near extinction of his race.  Donning his iconic mask to represent his role as executioner on the day he slaughtered his brethren, he has not removed it since.
