Pale Rider as he appears in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne.
"A world heading towards death, and a world steeped in death. How canst thy life shine so brilliantly amidst it? Show me... thou blue knight filled to th'brim with death...!"
—Pale Rider, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey
Pale Rider (ペイルライダー, PeiruRaidaa) is a recurring demon in the series.
In Revelation 6:8 of the Bible- "And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."
The Pale Rider is one of three rare and difficult bosses (Fiends) that can be found hidden throughout the game. If you beat him, he has a slim chance of dropping the Angel's Trumpet, the most powerful Law-aligned weapon in the game.
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne
"One of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. He rides on a pale horse, and hades follows behind it."
—Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne Compendium
Pale Rider appears as one of the Candelabrum holders sent by Lucifer to test Hito-Shura, possessing the Candelabrum of Majesty. He first appears with the other Horsemen of the Apocalypse when the Hito-Shura first ventures into the Third Kalpa. After Black Rider is defeated, he will appear in Asakusa, near the Collector Manikin's shop. Defeating Pale Rider in battle, the player will receive the Candelabrum of Majesty.

You can fuse Mithra and Ares to get Pale Rider. Although, before you can fuse them, you must complete Elizabeth's request to fuse Valkyrie with Tarukaja. Then, she will award you with the Torn Black Cloth item, which is required for the fusion of Pale Rider.
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey
"So... a son of man hath called me from one underworld to another... I am the Pale Rider, one of the Four Horsemen. The end times approacheth..."
—When summoned through Demon Fusion
Pale Rider returns as a Fiend demon, however, before he can be summoned he must be engaged in combat in Sector Grus and defeated. Fusing Pale Rider with the other three Riders on a Special Fusion will result in Mother Harlot.
