The 4 Horsemen are video game characters.

  • Death (the Pale Horseman) is John-117. Hence the 2 Halo songs "On A Pale Horse" and "Behold A Pale Horse", one of which plays during the flight section on "The Covenant" in Halo 3. Yes, 117 is Death.
  • War (the Red Horseman) is the player character from Nethack, according to the source code.
    • Alternately, Sid Meier. That broody bloke from Darksiders might be in the running, too.
    • Another option is Mario, Rider of the Red Yoshi.
  • Civil War (the White Horseman) is James Raynor.
  • And Pacman, who devours everything remotely edible in a region before moving on to the next, is Famine.

The Chaos Gods are the Four Horsemen.

The four horsemen are exactly that

Meaning a Half-Human Hybrid with horses.

  • Centaurs?

The four horsemen will be replaced.

Dr. Bright said it himself: "Screw War, Famine , Death, and Pestilence, We've Got Clef, Fishmonger, Kondraki, and Bright!"

  • But Fishmonger's gone, leaving...?

The identities of the horsemen.
