I don't think that the recongners are really set in 
stone versions of the horsemen at the time of 
deadlands: wierd west. I see Them as more of a equal 
opprotunity forces of evil, but by the time of 
deadlands:wasted west, its a christen world with a 
predominetlly white population. So by that time thier 
pretty muched locked in as biblical black hats. 

Is anyone familiar enough with native american myths 
to figure out what the indians would have called them?
