Beginning
(Still working here...information to be added as I work...) The Summit of Clan Naga Sadow had left the Orion system to govern itself during the Dark Crusade and when they returned it had been over run by crime lords and dissidents, especially Markosian City of Tarthos. In order to reclaim Markosian the military might of Sadow was sent in, but in order to increase moral, the operation was turned into a bit of a competition where they broke up into small teams of four or more. Macron Goura Sadow, Roxas Buurenaar, Shirai Ryu Dupar, and Maelous Ascarend formed a team with each other in an attempt to learn more of each other and improve relations across the clan with fellow Sadowans. What they didn't expect was that they were the perfect team when they worked together and that it was their destiny to band together against the enemies of Naga Sadow. Each of the four had experienced some form of awakening and achieved what could only be described as unique power; they called themselves "The Horsemen of Sadow." When they became Horsemen they became the embodiment of their new title, which they learned as they "awoke." The Force lead them to this path, as it was and is their destiny. Each Horsemen experiences a "baptizing" like event just before awakening. The most predominate of the baptisms were that of Pestilence and War. Macron using his knowledge and skills to defeat the Horizon's plague was his awakening as Pestilence; where as, Roxas's fiery battle with his greatest foe that left a permanent mark on the landscape of Aeotheran was his awakening as War.
The Sinners are born
The first of the Seven
During the Dark Crusade The Horsemen joined together for a mission to capture the Sword of Revelations and had brought Macron's then apprentice, Dragoon, with them on the mission. He was the first to see their sills and team work first hand.They failed in capturing the fabled weapon, but wouldn't let it harm their resolve. After the Crusade, the Summit of Naga Sadow took a new approach at controlling the Orion system, but first had to reclaim it from the enemies that had taken over during the Crusade. While reclaiming Aeotheran Dragoon's anger and rage surpassed the boiling point and he awoke as the Horseman of Fury, occasionally referred to as Wrath. There is speculation to his becoming a Horsemen being attributed to his proximity to the four or the remnants of power left over from the awakening of War. This furthers the theory that The Seven may hold a weaker form of power than the Four, or that they are replacements if one of the Four was to fall in battle; as of yet these theories are unfounded.
