We're not from the same world, exactly, since mine didn't have vampires, but I think they're kinda close. Except he's from like... six hundred years before my time. Something like that.
They don't really have powers so much as they bring terrible stuff with them, in a certain order. There's something about breaking seals in the... I guess you could call it a prophecy? It's hard to explain. But anyway, each broken seal brings a new horseman, until the fourth seal is broken and they've all come to bring punishment to mankind. The first horseman is Conquest, with a bow and a crown on a white horse. Then War on a red horse, carrying a sword. Then Famine, riding a black horse and carrying scales. The last horseman is the most famous, that's the verse of the book everyone knows. Revelation 6:8.
"And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."
So, you know. There's... some parallels. Anyway, after the Horsemen, there's three more seals to break, but I gotta try and remember what they are.
[ THIS IS NORMAL, NOT TERRIFYING STUFF TO TEACH TO YOUNG CHILDREN, BY THE WAY. ]
