Grim Reaper

The Grim
Reaper is a
spectral entity
that is said to
be the sentient
manifestation
of Death itself
. Since the
15th century,
Death has
commonly
been
perceived to
be an
animated
human
skeleton, draped in pitch black robes and carrying a scythe. With this scythe, the Reaper severs
the soul's last ties to life and grants the soul safe passage to the afterlife.

The Grim Reaper has often - falsely - been depicted as an evil spirit that preys on mortals. In
truth, however, he is neither evil nor good, merely a force of nature and order. Death is a
fundamental part of life and it is the Grim Reaper's duty to claim the souls of the deceased so as
to maintain the balance of nature. He does not "kill" mortals, he merely guides their spirits to the
next realm and it is not his place to judge souls or determine what will become of them.
