I strongly disagree with your contention as to who and what the crowned archer on the white horse is, Greek letters (suvdoulov?). Nonetheless, please, cut to the chase and state who and what you believe all of these evil forces are--the Dragon, the Beast, the False Prophet, etc. Then tell us how you came to such conclusions....
Continue with me yet longer and see for yourself, ask questions pertaining to what has already been shown. Let us not jump ahead.
We have seen who the
Dragon is:
"...
the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan...", yet he was working through a powerful Kingdom in the days of Jesus incarnation:
"...
the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for
to devour her child as soon as it was born." - Revelation 12:4
What Kingdom was Satan working through to destroy Jesus? It was the 4th Kingdom of Iron, the 4th Beast with Iron Teeth, the Kingdom of Rome:
"Now when
Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king..." - Matthew 2:1
"...for
Herod will seek the young child to destroy him." - Matthew 2:13
Then
Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and
sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. - Matthew 2:16
Now
in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, - Luke 3:1
The first Beast of Revelation 13 is the Anti-Christ power.
The second Beast of Revelation 13 is the False Prophet power.
Please consider one overview of Revelation:
The Book of Revelation is written in a very special way, it is written in several Chiasms ("mirror-like", a chiasm is "x", "v" or "^", for instance A B C D D C B A, or even A B A B, or even a more complex one such as A B 1 2 2 1 C C B A; see
Chiasma - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary CHIASM).
Revelation has two "great arms", a historical and eschtological arm and within those two "great arms" of the chiasm are mutltitudes more and even those which are "epanados" (repetition, sometimes in reverse order, or running parallels;
Definition of Epanados EPANADOS).
An example in Revelation (notice the structure used, and passages taken from the OT):
(1) Isaiah 55:4 --> Revelation 1:5 (Witness)
(2) Daniel 7:13 --> Revelation 1:7 (Coming with Clouds of angels)
(3) Zechariah 12:10-14 --> Revelation 1:7 (Pierced and Wail)
(4) Isaiah 41:4,6 --> Revelation 1:8 (I AM)
(4) Isaiah 41:4,6 --> Revelation 1:11 (I AM)
(3) Zechariah 4:2 --> Revelation 1:12 (Candlestick, Sanctuary, HolyPlace)
(2) Daniel 7:9,13,22 --> Revelation 1:13-15 (Priest)
(1) Isaiah 49:2 --> Revelation 1:16 (Sharp Sword)
Which is why, Revelation 1:8 "I AM" and 1:11 "I AM" must both be there, for it is inherent within the very structure, remove one of the "I AM" and it destroys that structure and cripples the text. Revelation (and even the whole Bible, take for instance the First two chapters of Genesis (Paradise Lost), and the Last two chapters of Revelation (Paradise Restored), they are written in A B B A pattern, with the Book of Job being sort of a great center for the Great Controversy between Christ and satan.) is written in a special Chiastic structure that cannot be broken.

This is one aspect of looking at Revelation. There are others, such as we could look at it from the Sanctuary perspective. Golden Candle Sticks, Door, Incense, Temple, Ark, Lamb, etc. We should also compare it to the Book of Daniel especially, and also look at Jeremiah, Ezekiel, etc.
