Talk:King Hassan/@comment-29543192-20170113025836

So, I have a theory that he if one of the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse. Death. Here are my reasons why I think so:

The 4 classes; Rider, Caster, Assassin, and Berserker; are called the Four Horseman classes in FGO.

In Fate/strange fake, there is Pale Rider who has the Rider class and is the "embodiment of pestilence"  '''so if he can be a servant, then the personification of death can too. I know that the Horseman of Pestilence is called the White Horseman and the Horseman of Death is called the Pale Horseman in the Bible, but I think that Rider is called this because it sounds better than White Horseman.'''

The name Pale Horseman (Death) comes from the color of a corpse.'' "Based on uses of the word in ancient Greek medical literature, several scholars suggest that the color reflects the sickly pallor of a corpse." And King Hassan's defeat line is "My original form is that of a corpse. It is merely returning to the earth."''

'''King Hassan is a religious individual who has a strong faith which should be expected from the Horseman of Death. His lines include:'''

''*"My Lord. Mine life, hath now received the light of salvation." ''

*"There is no world for the faithless to live in..."

'''*He even says that the Holy Grail does not exist. "There is no such thing as the Holy Grail. Do not confuse delusion and fanaticism." Why would he say that when Holy Grails DO exist? I think he is mentioning the Holy Grail from the Bible. His NP is also named after Azrael, an angel.'''

Him having a sword could also make him the Horseman of Death. ''"Its commission was to kill upon the Roman Earth with all of the four judgements of God — with sword, famine, pestilence and wild beasts." 'Famine and pestilence are labeled, but death and war are not. Sword could mean war, but death comes in any form. I believe that the Horseman of War would best be a Berserker which can also be labeled as a''' "wild beast". Famine can be Caster because it is depicted as holding scales, which is best suited for a Caster. "I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a day’s wages, and three quarts of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”" So that just leaves the sword for the Assassin class, Death.

'''An Angel is also heralding them in a woodcut. '"The Horsemen of the Apocalypse, depicted in a woodcut by Albrecht Dürer (ca. 1497–98), ride forth as a group, with an angel heralding them, to bring Death, Famine, War, and Conquest unto man." ''The angel that would be doing this should be the Angel of Death, Azrael, which is also King Hassan's NP.

Also, back to ''"Its commission was to kill". 'Commission also means assignment, job, mission. An assassin's job is to kill. His Dialogue 3 line is' "The relationship between master and servant is an exchange of missions. Thou savest lives, and I return them. Everything is as light and shadow, my contractor." 'His missions are taking lives. The Horseman of Death's mission is to take lives. He also talks about light and darkness. Such a relationship can also be that of God and Death.'''

So, what do you think about this? Am I digging too deeply into this? I strongly believe that the similarities are too great to be just a coincidence. (I got info from wikipedia Four Horseman and reddit post of KH lines)
