This is the first Horseman, the White Rider. Unlike his other companions, his signifigance is the most contested. He has been thought to mean conquest, plague, and even evil itself. The truth is he is all of those things. He is evil personified and he can spread his evil like a plague, conquering all before him. For every man has a bit of evil, of corruption within him and the White Horseman can amplify this evil or plant more of it. For that is what the White Horseman represents, Corruption. He rides first to corrupt the populace, to conquer them without ever lifting his weapon.
