| ~ Strife to his brother, War |
Summary
Strife is the co-protagonist of Darksiders Genesis, and a member of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Witty and sharp-eyed, Strife is the long ranged expert of his brethren, capable of mowing down armies of enemies with his pistols, Mercy and Redemption.
Strife often plays the comedian of his family, making jokes, taunting his enemies and even poking fun at his own comrades whenever he can. He intentionally angers demons such as Samael, and is not above throwing insults for no reason other than laughs. Strife is far more emotional than his brethren as well, and is constantly in question about the rights of his actions, as well as his service to the Charred Council. He is capable of intense moments of maturity, which allow him to connect with his siblings, keeping the bonds that tie them together strong.

Standard Equipment: Strife acquires various items and powers to assist him in combat.
- Mercy and Redemption: Strife's main weapons are two incredibly powerful pistols, each boasting an endless amount of ammunition. Mercy has 4 barrels, while Redemption has one. Each gun can store different properties, allowing Strife diversity in combat with 2 varying ammo types.
- Ghost Hook: A ghostly appendage that lets Strife grab onto objects and enemies, pulling either himself to them, or them to him.

Weaknesses: Can have a somewhat short attention span when not serious enough. His special ammunition is not unlimited, unlike his standard shots. His seals prevent him from being at full power.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Double Jump: Strife is able to jump again in mid air.
- Tempest Cloak: Allows Strife to glide a limited distance after a double jump.
- Anarchy Form: By slightly breaking the restraints placed on him by the council, Strife's full potential as a Horseman of the Apocalypse can be unleashed, transforming him into a large goblin-like creature. In this form, he gains horns, a scorpion tail capable of firing a giant laser beam, a minigun arm, and the ability to produce missile like projectiles. This form grants Strife invulnerability from enemy attacks.

A staple of all Horsemen, Strife can unleash his Wrath as devastating abilities.

- Shadow Step: When in the air, Strife can dash quickly back to the ground.
Strife's powerful gun's are capable of using a wide variety of ammunition, one able to hold a completely different type than the other, granting him a deceptively large amount of variety.
