Profile
Death – CEO & Co-Founder of Death, Incorporated
This entity was created from the deepest void, and the person known as "Death" has been around since the dawn of time. Many people suggest that such a role may be better attributed to a woman; however, in keeping with the usual interpretation of the character in popular fiction, Death prefers to identify as a man. His work in the universe started out as a small family business, peacefully reaping soul after soul in the time-honored tradition of ancient passing rites. Those were the good old days. Back then, Death didn't worry about mundanities such as turnover or outsourcing.
Then the business began to take off. Death, Inc. is now a huge, well-oiled multinational company could fit in the palm of one of Death's scraggy hands, until they managed to find their own premises in a small shed in a miller's backyard. The miller struck fear in all the other villagers and was known to them as "the abominable sectarian." Throughout the years and fashions, Death, Inc. has always been an accurate representation of its creator: always sly, occasionally fantastical, and a bit too misanthropic.
"I can't take it anymore. I'm done. I have one last round of inspections to do, then I'm off on vacation. That email will have to wait! I'll answer it when I get back, and that's all there is to it. I need to Have a Nice BREAK for a change." — Death, on the crisis currently rocking Death, Inc. Unfortunately, the boss didn't want to elaborate any further on the circumstances of the crisis and got bitterly annoyed when the subject of Death, Inc.'s co-founder came up.
Appearance
Death is a skeleton who resembles the typical look of the said grim reaper, the main difference being his short stature. He has an upper jaw, though lacks a lower one. Death's empty eye sockets behave in the same way that normal eyes do—he is able to squint, widen, and even blink with them. In the initial trailer and in-game intro cutscene for Have a Nice Death, Death is shown wearing a black business suit with an added hood. As the cutscene progresses, Death summons his Cloak, wearing it over his original outfit.
Personality
Death is short-tempered and appears to be annoyed throughout the game, due to the amount of work he’s been receiving. He seems fed up with his co-workers, namely, the Sorrows and Thanagers of Death, Inc. Death also suffers from severe burnout. With the Sorrows of Death, Inc. going into overdrive and reaping too many souls at once, Death's workload increased substantially.
