Story:
From the beginning of time, heaven and hell had fought wars with each other with neither side being able to get the advantage over the other side. Because of this the Charred Council was founded in order to maintain order and balance, and they chose to create a brotherhood for this purpose, the four horsemen of the Apocalypse which consisted of War, Death, Strife and Fury. During these wars the race of humanity emerged.
When the game starts War arrives on earth where the war that ends everything began. The armies of heaven and hell could be seen fighting a war in the kingdom of man. War faced Abaddon which was the general of the army of heaven and while communicating with him War learn that the horsemen where not summoned and that the final seal was not broken. Because of him breaking the rules of the horsemen War was punished by having a watcher bound to him. This watcher has the ability to kill War if he strays from his mission.
After a century War returned to earth where all of humanity was obliterated by the armies of hell which were led by the Destroyer. On earth War accepts the help of Vulgrim the soul merchant which gave him the whereabouts of Samuel (A former lord of the demons) in order to find information on how to defeat the armies of hell and the Destroyer. Samuel speaks to War about the Chosen which are 4 demons which you must defeat in order to take their hearts and bring them back to Samuel.
After doing this Samuel will bring War to the tower where the Angel of death is found imprisoned. During the time in which War is trying to free Azrael he ends up confessing that he , Abaddon and Uriel were trying to bring the apocalypse faster.
But he states that this plan was ruined by the death of Abaddon. War then was told to find parts of the Armageddon blade
which was one of the only if not the only weapon which is able to kill the destroyer. He was told to give these parts to Ulthane Blackhammer which was one of the Makers in order to reforge the Armageddon blade.
After the blade is reforged, War goes to challenge the Destroyer, where he succeeds in defeating him and in retrieving the seventh seal. But as the final part of the story unfolds War is betrayed by the Watcher which says that The charred council is also betraying the horsemen.
