The Four Riders (四駿 Shishun lit. Four Horses in the Japanese version) are the current four strongest soldiers in Daein's army. The Legendary Four Riders (or Great Riders) were the original Riders, and they consisted of Greil (then known as Gawain), Tauroneo, Bryce and Lanvega. Three of the four left their positions. Tauroneo and Lanvega resigned after Ashnard became King of Daein, and Gawain left after his wife Elena was entrusted with Lehran's Medallion from the Heron, Lillia.
