Lilith is a major antagonist in the Darksiders franchise.
She is a succubus and creator of the Nephilim, thus making her the mother of the four horseman - Death, War, Strife and Fury. After the Nephilim were rendered extinct, Lilith conspired with Lucifer to corrupt mankind. Since then, she has become the demon king's underling in his plans to take over the world. After the End War starts prematurely, Lilith remains in Samael's domain during the events of Darksiders II.
She was voiced by Jessica Strauss, who has also voiced Sasha in inFamous, Juri Han in the Street Fighter series and Lilith in Diablo III.
History[]
Past[]
While Lilith's origins are a mystery, it's known that she gained the knowledge to create life from the Maker Gulbannan, and used her craft to create the Nephilim from the dust of angels and demons. At some point, the Charred Council stripped her of this knowledge to maintain the Balance.
Darksiders: Genesis[]
After the Nephilim were eradicated by the horseman to preserve mankind, Lilith sought revenge for humanity's indirect part in causing their near-extinction. She partnered with Lucifer to corrupt mankind, successfully doing so after War and Strife eliminated their fellow conspirators - Mammon, Belial, Dagon and Moloch.
The Abomination Vault[]
Lilith also appears in Darksiders: The Abomination Vault, being offered a chance to participate in the plan of the hooded stranger. He claims that she has no reason to love Heaven or Hell, and that she should want the chance to reclaim what was taken from her. Lilith coldly declines, stating that whatever was taken is not enough to make her fight all of creation.
Lilith appeared in Samael's domain shortly before the Endwar, offering the Blood Prince whatever he desired for an unknown price. However, he rebuffed her without seeming to even consider it, saying that he desired only her silence. The Four Horsemen delivered a warning to Samael then, to respect the treaties binding Heaven and Hell. When the Horsemen implied that Lilith's presence was due to Samael's proximity to the Dark One's seat, Lilith grew angry and directed them to Abaddon if they wished to warn anyone, as he was an open proponent of war.
Darksiders[]
In the first Darksiders, she is only heard as a voice giving Abaddon the choice to serve in Heaven or to reign in Hell. Abaddon chooses the latter and becomes the Destroyer. However, Abaddon is later killed by the horseman War and calls upon his siblings when breaking the final seal, thus putting a blow to Lucifer's plans.
Darksiders II[]
While Death sought to resurrect Humanity, Lilith had hoped to manipulate him into bringing back the Nephilim, the Angel/Demon hybrids that she created and that the Four Horsemen also were. She took to haunting Shadow's Edge, where she knew the Horseman would come for the Demon held key to the Well of Souls. After entering a chamber in Samael's domain and killing a Demon that attacked him, Death called out for Lilith as he knew she would be watching. Lilith emerged from pool of magma and told Death he couldn't blame her for hiding as when Death rides, no one is safe, not even her, his mother. Death refused to acknowledge her as his mother which led her to recount her creation of the first Nephilim, Absalom whom from him the rest were formed. Lilith recalled how the Horsemen killed their brethren but only Death showed remorse for the action, which she later refers to as a sin, and reasoned that he didn't throw the amulet in the Abyss as the Council had ordered so that he might restore them someday.
Death angrily exclaimed that the corruption was born in Absalom and was now spreading, and she, his "Mother" should help him stop it. He demanded that she hand over the Demons' key to the Well of Souls. Lilith told him that Samael kept it, but also that he was gone, and the key had vanished. However, Lilith assured her "child" that time, like sin, could be undone and gave him the Phasewalker, which would allow him to go to the past and find the key. All she asked in return was that when Death reached the Well of Souls, he would answer his heart and resurrect the Nephilim. Death walked away without a word while Lilith smiled grimly.
After Death killed Absalom and restored Humanity, Lilith was seen walking through a dark corridor, where a mysterious figure awaited her. She addressed the being as my Prince, presumably Lucifer, and he asked her about the Nephilim. Lilith didn't know what to say, only for the figure to remind her that the Endwar was upon them, and that instead of giving him the army she had promised, Death had returned mankind to the balance. Lilith resigned herself to her fate and, with a smile, told him that she awaited her punishment. However, the figure told her that this time she would derive no pleasure from it. Lilith was then heard screaming.
Darksiders III[]
Lilith appears in the post-credit scene with Lucifer, hearing his frustration at Fury obtaining the amulet from the Lord of Hollows.
Trivia[]
