I must say Samael from Darksiders has gotta be one of my favorite types of villians slowly making their way up to be a final boss of their respective series much like with characters such as Fawful from the Mario & Luigi games, Sho Minamimoto from The World Ends With You, Metal Sonic in the Sonic series & Lord Raptor from Darkstalkers, I love how he's using the horsemen to get his own end goal whatever that is, between making a deal with War exchanging info in return with the mcguffins War offered him alongside getting War to unleash his true nature to go against The Watcher & with Death, he was clearly toying with him in his boss fight, which is really dope btw as it's like a 3D take on Dracula from Castlevania & some of the best boss fights of Darksiders II & also how we technically don't even beat him, Samael just chose to stop fighting & gives Death the key, this right here is telling that Samael might be after the same goal Abaddon did of ruling both Heaven & Hell but unlike Abaddon, he's making use of the horsemen that showed up rather than to just prematurely trigger the Apocalypse & while I have no idea how this'll play out in Darksiders 3, Genesis & the upcoming 4 as of this moment Samael is still a fascinating character & some of my favorites of this series
