War, like most other cataclysmic horsemen, was granted apotheosis by Death. He is a rhinoceros Zoan with dark skin and red eyes, usually seen wearing crimson clothes. His weapon of choice is a huge sword made of the highest-grade steel. He also uses many bombs in his simplistic schemes, preferring to use brute force rather than thought.
His apotheotic status grants him supernatural strength, speed, resistance and stamina, which he can also transmit to his horse. He is very loyal to his master, Death, and plans to destroy many. He has a bright red, upside down Y shaped halo.
