  X-Men Character Bios: Dark Beast   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
A group of mutants, Inhumans, and enhanced humans, the Riders were Apocalypse's foot soldiers in his Darwinistic war of supremacy.
They were so enthralled by his "survival of the fittest" dogma that they joined Stryfe when he beat Apocalypse, and still continued to "test" other mutants (and themselves) even after their masters "died" on the moon.
In that final confrontation, most of the Riders were killed, including Genesis.

The other Riders, poised expectantly beside him, awaiting his word to strike, shot glances at one another, knowing the foolish wisdom of disturbing Milus Clint when he took to these moods, when the darkness living inside him played with his thoughts.
The Dark Rider scurried away from the opening as the terrified horses bolted en masse from the corral in a tumult of beating hooves and billowing dust.
The Rider uttered a high-pitched giggle, sensing the beast's terror, savoring it, leeching it.

The Dark Riders, originally known as the Riders of the Storm, is the name of a group of fanatics devoted to the Darwinian ideals that the strong ("fit") should inherit the Earth and the weak ("unfit") should be culled.
The Riders allowed themselves to be followed in order to spring a trap, revealing a new leader of the Riders: Cable's son from the future, who now called himself Genesis.
Under Genesis' leadership, the Dark Riders hoped to gain revenge against the mutant hero teams and even their enemy Mister Sinister, but their attacks were always repulsed.

I envision the Dark Elf army pressing the center of the battlefield while a portion of the army performs a rapid assault on one of the flanks.
The purpose of the Dark Riders is to flank the core unit's opponents during assault.
The Dark Riders do not need to be next to the core and they most certainly don't need to be obvious about the intended target, but they must remain in position to support at all times.

 GW Online : Warhammer : Dark Elves : Dark Elf Rules Update
When considering the obvious advantages of each core troop type, Dark Riders and Corsairs seemed to be the most effective choice whilst the Warrior equipped with a shield, costing the same as a Corsair, never really seemed to have a place.
The Warrior is the mainstay of the Dark Elf army.
Each Dark Elf citizen spends his or her life training for battle and thus even with a relatively smaller population than some of the other races, the Dark Elves can field a large contingent of well-trained Warriors.

 The "Dark Riders" of Social Change: a challenge for any Fellowship of the Ring
The "Dark Riders" might well be highly visible in some other guise, but typically would act primarily "behind the scenes" through "structural violence", deceit and treachery -- only using physical violence as a last resort.
Of greater concern is the possibility that the "Dark Riders" and their minions would benefit from new generations of psychosocial and behavioural technologies -- secret developments of behavioural modification and other research.
The "Dark Riders" are necessarily "of the shadow".

Parks are looking for new experiences to offer their guests, and many are rediscovering the allure of a good dark ride—witness the popularity of The Pirates of the Caribbean, the hit movie based on the granddaddy of all dark rides at Disneyland.
What’s particularly impressive about the renaissance in dark rides is the variety of methods used to create dark ride experiences.They are not being driven by a breakthrough in one particular technology, but many.
The former uses clever illusions to give the riders the impression that there are three different routes into the ride, and the motion base is programmed to vary the ride experience.
