Gregory Henderson

I am only the first of four.

Those who don't know Greg would find him a charismatic figure. Calm, rational, and yet warm at the same time. Unlike the "robot scientist" stereotype that plagues the media he is an overly sociable person when it comes to interacting with others. While not talkative by any means, he seems to know what to say to draw people's extroverted side out and make friends with them. He stays calm, nods along to the words of others, and most importantly, understands if somebody is having trouble. Rather than taking an active role in interaction he empathizes with pretty much anyone he talks to and acts patient since people generally hate being prodded at. Sometimes people don't want to be thrust advice so much as given acknowledgement so he merely gives people what they want.

He's made many friends this way, but don't get him wrong. He does not roll over in the face of conflict. When faced with a difficult situation Greg does his best to diffuse any anger that the other person might have via logic, personal understanding, and some semblance of pretending to care. If that doesn't work he will probably respond with a sardonic remark and leave them to stew in their own anger. He hates when situations don't go his way (as he puts quite a bit of work into planning them) and more so if others pester him over it. Nagging brings out a fire in him (likely because his parents always nagged him over everything he did) that results in a lot of hot air and hurtful truths that he would never say otherwise. Now this isn't to say that he is fake by any means but rather that he bites his tongue more often than not.

Still, he never considered himself the paragon of nicety or even politeness since he spends most of his days either studying or working his second, secret job so when people act surprised he just shrugs them off. He hardly cares about impressing them...especially if they're from Hell.

Equipment
-Satan's Quill: Originally the weapon of choice for Satan. Mephistopheles and then the Horseman of War, this obsidian blade was used to reap the souls of those who backed out of their contracts with the Underworld. In order to use it properly, one must bind their souls to the blade through a blood contract; however, in doing so they put themselves in danger of corruption by the blade. As it feasts on more souls, the user becomes hungrier and hungrier until they go on a rampage. For that reason, few humans have ever successfully used it without killing themselves...well until it fell into Gregory's hands. Currently Greg uses it to slay supernatural creatures but how he acquired the blade remains unknown.

-An Annotated Version of the Old Testament: Exactly what it says. This is a pocket Bible annotated with all the necessary verses to slay evil creatures.

-Various Religious Paraphernalia: Though his leanings are most definitely Christian, he's acquired a great variety of tools to keep himself safe.

-Dominus: His trusty steed of the Apocalypse. Though a white horse in his true form, Dominus disguises himself as a KIA Sorento.

Abilities:
Honestly, if it weren't for his status as a Horseman, he would be an ordinary human, yet because he is a Horseman he gets a few benefits
-Supernatural Detection: They can sense other Hell-spawn in the immediate area.
-Emotional Feasting: Depending on the Horseman, different events and feelings from humans give them a boost in combat prowess. In Greg's case, "victory","accomplishment", and pride are his best bets. It makes sense that he's been floating around various sports events despite his utter boredom.
-Soul Battery: Horsemen can consume souls to gain strength/speed/endurance or heal or split their soul to empower others with the same trait. It is not recommended to split one's soul too much as they weaken themselves by doing so.
-Fire Manipulation: As with all Hell-related things, one certainly would not be complete without something to do with fire.

Self-Specific Powers:
-Nigh Immortality: Given that he is soul-bound to the dagger, Greg himself cannot die unless the blade is destroyed or he kills himself with it (not that he would ever want to). As the blade consumes more souls Greg, too, gets stronger in terms of wielding it and utilizing his soul energy to empower its strikes. Unfortunately for him, he can still be separated from the weapon (something that causes him great anxiety).
-Animation: In addition to splitting his soul, he can animate and control corpses without their consent
-Order over Chaos: Just as easily as some can throw others into a crazed mindset, he calms people with a single touch and in due time may influence them to act on his accord

Long ago a man predicted that the Lamb of God (or was it the Lion of Judah? Time has not been kind to the ancient scriptures) unlocked four of the seven seals to retrieve the scroll gated by the three remaining seals and eventually bring about the Apocalypse. While the first event happened, Satan has certainly lagged on the second part. When the seals were first undone, the world did everything in its power to drive the Horsemen away and stay alive but truthfully they didn't need to. The Horsemen were rookies at best and utterly too vain to understand their purpose. Conquest was not a leader, War was not calculated, and everything fell apart. Their ineptitude forced Satan to scatter their power across the globe on the gamble that they might one day be reincarnated. Through the ages they kept trying to unite but nothing worked (partially because the technology wasn't there yet).

This is where Gregory's story ties in. Born to human parents and having lived a human life, he had every right to believe that he, himself was human and had absolutely nothing special about him. He made friends, went through school, and even went out on a date from time to time. To keep everything concise, he found out about his status a year ago after being attacked by a killer and acquiring Satan's Quill. After meeting the Horseman of Death he's made up his mind to gather the other Horseman and unlock the three remaining seals.

Over the course of his years, he's gathered quite the reputation for being a hunter; however, he insists that it's incidental.

His Friends:

Anaheim "Ana" Annie Dresden: A trendy, ageless vampire whose physiology is closer to young adult novels than Nosferatu. She's practical, quick-witted, cheery, and focused on change. She became a vampire due to the botched attempt of a different vampire training people on how to properly drain humans. Nonetheless, she tries to keep her blood lust in check and usually sips on a flask of human blood.

Equipment: Blood flasks, Brimstone gauntlets, An enchanted gimmel ring

Mohinder Singh:The only truly "normal" person in their trio, well if you count covering up the murder of an angel "normal." Before their grand adventure started, he had been on track for medical school; however, plans changed and he found himself thirsting for adventure and research, more than money. He tends to be the one that keeps Greg "stable" as well as splash him with holy water whenever the Horseman gets too riled up.

Equipment: Ofuda, Crosses, Holy water-dipped darts, Pre-written verses, Amulets, Talismans, and his favorite: a book on bhoots and their relevance in Hinduism.
