Biography

Absalom was born at the beginning of creation following the emergence of Heaven and Hell. Following that time, the Nephilim were crafted from the crafting of the mingled dust of Angels and Demons by Lilith. The first of their kind was Absalom who became the template for the subsequent generation of their people. Due to him being the first, he became the leader of the Nephilim who began to lead them on a campaign of annihilation where he led the crusade that destroyed many worlds. In time, Mankind was given the prize of Eden which saw Absalom leading his army in a war against both Heaven and Hell. This was in order to usurp Eden for the Nephilim as their people never had a realm of their own to call home. For this crime, the Charred Council condemned their race to destruction and four members of their kind revolved against Absalom to join the them. These individuals became known as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse who were given ultimate power and tasked with the destruction of their kind. The conflict eventually saw Absalom face his brother the Horseman Death in single combat but one that saw the Nephilim warlord being killed in the confrontation. In his final moments, the Horseman Death felt guilt for his actions and held the Absalom's hands but the leader of the Nephilim was dragged into darkness. Afterwards, the entirety of the Nephilim race were destroyed with the Four Horseman being the only survivors of their kind who continued to serve the Charred Council as the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse.
