the Darkin are the Horsemen of the Apocolapse

With the release of Kayn, we got a whole bunch of context on the Darkin from his voice lines concerning other champions, like and . With two Darkin champions, Kayn and , I've noticed some similarites between them and the Horsemen of the Apocolapse, the four embodiments of evil in the Book of Revelations (the Bible).

So first, some info on the Horsemen.

The first Horseman is Conquest:

"I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer." The is some dispute over whether the first Horseman is Conquest or Pestilence, but due to the use of the word conquer, I reckon it's the Conquest.

The second Horseman is War: "And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from the earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him."

The third is Famine: I looked, and behold, a black horse; and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard something like a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not damage the oil and the wine."

and the fourth is Death: "I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him"

Anyway, each of the Darkin champions we know of so far show similarities with a certian horseman.

is War. -His lore surrounds his role in fighting wars -He has numerous quotes referencing war and battle: "This battle will be my masterpiece." "War reveals what is within us." "I am as timeless as war."

• and he uses a sword as his weapon, which is also the weapon that War wields: "...and a great sword was given to him."

Kayn/Raast is Death. -He has a bunch of quotes about death: "You never forget your first kill" "Death and War. This will be delicious" "We find Aatrox, and its a party! A murder party." -While Death the Horseman doesn't specifically wield a scythe, the weapon has been associated with the figure of Death for centuries, due to the Grim Reaper.

is Conquest. -While not confirmed to be Darkin, the use of a living weapon and corruption on his skin indicates he is related to them in some way. -In his lore, he used his power to defeat the Noxian invaders- in other words, conquer them. -He uses a bow as his weapon, which is the same weapon as Conquest:
"I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow"

So, we have three Darkin champs linked with three Horsemen, leaving Famine as the last one. This likely means that the next Darkin champion to be released will likely be associated with Famine/hunger, and use scales to fight. As this doesn't really qualify as a weapon, it's possible that they could be a support, as this is a role that the other Darkin have not filled yet.
