"There has always been a Rider. Sell your soul to the Devil himself, and the last face you'll see is the Riders, coming to collect his masters contract."
Ghost Riders, or just Riders for short, are the incarnations of a group of rogue fallen angels, specifically Dominions, that are also known as the Spirits of Vengeance. The human vessels of these dark angels have authority over hell-fire and can transform into superhuman skeletal beings engulfed in hellish flames.
Although mostly benign, Ghost Riders do not consider themselves heroes. In fact, they are indiscriminate in who they punish. They protect the innocent from ungodly forces and fight against those who would use supernatural forces to threaten humanity.
