Am I the only one who thinks that people have gotten Thresh and Karthus the wrong way round in the whole Horsemen thing (assuming that is a thing, as the comment below me casts doubt upon)? I mean, I guess what people have probably latched onto here is the fact that Karthus looks more like someone starved to death than Thresh does, but in terms of their lore... Karthus is obsessed with death and everything about it. 'Nuff said. As for Thresh... yes, he kills his victims, but that's not really what it's about for him. It's about making them suffer, breaking them - the journey, not the destination. Like Thresh, famine is slow, sure and excruciating, killing not in a moment like war, not in a day like pestilence, but over the course of weeks if not months, with the victim growing weaker and weaker as time goes by.

And for a final touch, what of Thresh's signature instrument? Chain restrain a victim, drain the strength from their limbs, wrack their muscles with pain... just a little like extreme hunger, no? (Alright, maybe that point's a little far-fetched. Still, overall, I stand by my thought: Karthus is the Horseman of Death, not Thresh, who is the Horseman of Famine, rather than Karthus.)
