    Summary: We classify isometries of the real hyperbolic 4-space by their conjugacy classes of centralizers. We use the representation of the isometries by \(2 \times 2\) quaternionic matrices to obtain this characterization. Another characterization in terms of conjugacy invariants is also given.
