![]() Given how they've stated that one member amongst said enforcers that was unavailable at the time was preoccupied with an unknown pursuit, raises suspicions to their likely setting him up for a fall as well. In fact, the Council's ultimate intent was the dissolution of the Horsemen through battling with the Seven Deadly the whole time, all while masking it as a task to complete in which they never expected the least of her number to survive. It is speculated that the Angels who butchered Fury's horse Rampage were put up to it by the Council behind closed doors, just as the Seven Deadly were unleashed upon the shattered Earth, with greatly augmented forms and abilities provided by the very same, just to preempt Fury. This would be something that was made evident in how they betrayed War in order to placate him into pursuing the real perpetrators of the early Armageddon, along with purposely feigning ignorance of such an event, which was instigated by one side or the other, in its entirety so humankind will be eliminated due to Man's hidden significance threatening their power. The lord of Hell and all the Demons once stated they had become an anathema to the very concept they claim to uphold and maintain. In truth, the Council was only bothering to moderate the fringe aspects of preserving order in the universe while ignoring more critical parts in its greater context. This is a trait that both the lesser and leader of the Sins highlighted before being recaptured by their horseman. If the word of their former member is to be believed, the Council itself never actually adhered to enforcing balance to begin with. It also appears as though they were truly corrupt from the get-go being rather paranoid & conniving, appearing to trust no one not even their own enforcers, as it seemingly feared for its position of power when Abaddon and several others managed to defy its laws. The Council, as a whole, is quick to anger and is noted for being impatient. The First is harsh and accusatory while the Second questions all things, seeing the far-reaching consequences of the crime before it and the judgment at hand and the Third is wise and slow to rouse, and usually offers a course of action that is most fair. Each has a different role and speak differently. Even the Four Horsemen do not truly know whether or not the Council is a single being or multiple ones. It is referred to as an "entity", singular, in the beginning, narration of Darksiders, but referred to in the plural on other occasions. The fact that Lucifer is aware of things known only to the Charred Council (such as Fury's being in possession of the Lord of the Hollows' amulet form which she never mentioned to their subordinates or her few remaining allies, save Ulthane) indicates that either he or some of his followers are on the Charred Council. ![]() One of their former members was a Demon known as the Lord of the Hollows indicating that that at least some of them are Demons (despite Darksiders: The Abomination Vault calling them something other than Demon, Angel and Old One). There are three Heads that physically represent the Council, though the true number of Council members and their identities are unknown. The Charred Council is located in a special Realm, though some have assumed that they were in Hell due to their fiery surroundings. When the Three Kingdoms were ready for the end-war, they would break the Seven Seals for the Apocalypse, thus calling off the truce. To maintain balance, the Council forced a "cease-fire" and allowed the Third Kingdom to grow without fear of being obliterated by the ancient conflict between light and dark. ![]() ![]() ![]() When the Third Kingdom, Humanity, emerged from the chaos of the universe, both Angelic and Demonic factions began to make an attempt on ensuring their influence within the Realm of Man. The Charred Council are mediators, created in time immemorial by the Creator to keep the balance between the never-ending war of the forces of Heaven and Hell. Only the Charred Council, and their fearsome servants, stand at the pivot point of all Creation, protecting the Balance from all who would see it shattered. Only the Charred Council - not Angel, not Demon not Old One, but something other - holds the warring factions at bay. ![]()
