Death

"'By my Master's orders, you'll be destroyed here and now!'""- Death to Leon Belmont, Castlevania: Lament of Innocence"Death, as his name suggests, is the embodiment of death. He is the Sacred Ancestor of reapers and their king. He was the confidante and most loyal ally of Count Dracula from 1094 all the way to 1999. All demons, monsters, and undead answered only Dracula above him for that period of nine centuries. Rising from the waters of chaos, while he is a "god of death", the translation of Shinigami to English, he more classifies as a High Deity because of his origins and original power. Before the Big Bang, Death's power trumped all of the High Deities that also arose from the depths of Nu. However, when he became Dracula's right-hand man, he purposely gave up a vast sum of his power. That being said, he is still a powerful being, not to be underestimated, and suicidal for most to face. For most of his existence, he was known as Erebus, and this is what other High Deities called him as well. It was not until 1094 that he was called Death by Mathias Cronqvist.

Over 13.722 billion years ago - A.D. 1094
Some time before the universe came into existence, the first of many entities to come rose from Nun. It was the very universal law of death and destruction, and a being of pure darkness. It was born with near-infinite raw power and knowledge. It just happened to be male, and with the first language, Old Enochian, he gave himself the name "Erebus". With it rose the first weapon, a staff with a curved blade, later to be named by humans "a scythe". He found himself able to summon smaller versions of this weapon, many at once and at different times, these later to be called "sickles". For inestimable time, Erebus wandered the Empty, the inexistence beyond Nu. This was until another being rose from the water. It was the very universal law of life and creation, and a being of pure light. It was also born with vast raw power and knowledge, though not near Erebus's, and was also a male. When Erebus asked his brother's name, he responded with "Elohim". Then rose an entity of pure evil, the first demon, Asag. Then rose Amun, then Atem, then Neith from Nun, Amun's power rivaling Elohim's. Many other deities followed.

After all had rose from Nu, Elohim began wiping them out or having them surrender to his power. Many deities refused to submit to Elohim - all who did this were mercilessly destroyed. Despite Elohim being the embodiment of creation, life, and light, he was quite the destructive force, killing all who opposed him. Finally, he challenged Erebus. Their fight didn't last long, as Elohim almost instantly sensed his death, and admitted he would be defeated to end their fight. After Elohim had finished killing all of the other deities, he used all of his power to cause the Big Bang. For billions of years, Erebus merely watched as Elohim formed many galaxies, solar systems, and planets, experimenting for all that time to see what created life and consciousness, like He and his siblings had. After Elohim successfully created the archangels, and then created the first organism that would many ages down the line lead to his "perfect creations", he tasked Erebus with granting them death. At the time, Erebus could kill anything at any time from any place within the universe, so reapers were not needed yet. For billions of years, not much notable happened involving Erebus. However, sometime before the rise of Ancient Greece, he conceived two children - Thanatos and Atropos, with Nyx. Other than Anubis and Hades, these were the first reapers. These two conceived children as well, and their children did, which continued, which led to a vast assortment of reapers. As the most powerful and the first of their kind, he was crowned the "Shinigami King". Then, in A.D. 1062, Elohim's most powerful creation, Lucifer, came to Sheol, and proposed something to the god of death - a game of chess, knowing this was his favorite game. The conditions were that if Lucifer won, Death would have to watch over and serve Lucifer's newborn half-human half-demon son, Mathias Cronqvist. He said that if Erebus won, he could rape Satan for all eternity. Historically, Erebus had won every game of chess he had ever played, but for the first time, he lost to Satan. He considered not doing what Lucifer said in his loss anyway, but after billions of years of boredom, merely watching as the universe aged, waiting for the time in which he would reap all things, Erebus decided he would humour Satan and watch this son of his.

The Devil said that, once his son wore a pendant called the Crimson Stone, Erebus was to reveal himself to Mathias and become his servant. Erebus agreed to this, as well. Believing no man should have all of his power to kill anything at their disposal, though, Erebus left Sheol to go to Nu, where he gave up a great deal of his power, allowing Nun itself to take it from him. For the next thirty-one years, Erebus watched Mathias from the shadows. In 1094, after the death of Mathias's wife, Mathias became a vampire once he donned the Crimson Stone. Erebus appeared before him, telling him that he would become the vampire's servant once he "proved himself worthy". Mathias gave Erebus the name "Death" when he gazed upon the deity, which Erebus actually felt was more befitting, but said Mathias could not call him by that name until he had earned his service.

1094: Events of Castlevania: Lament of Innocence
"'I shall take your soul!'""- Death to Walter Bernhard"That night, Mathias did prove himself by having his best friend kill the powerful lord of vampires. Death appeared in the moment of this vampire's defeat, and gave his soul to Mathias. After his new master revealed all of his plans to Leon Belmont, and offered Leon immortality, Leon declined the offer. Disappointed, Mathias told Death that he could now kill Leon. Death caused an illusion around Leon to make it appear as though he was in a room made of flesh, and then initiated battle with the vampire hunter. To Death's surprise, albeit Leon nearly dying in their fight, Leon felled the ancient deity with the Vampire Killer and Leon's holy relics. Death told him that his destruction was only temporary, so Leon told him to give Mathias a message: "You have become a cursed being, and I will never forgive you. This whip and my kinsmen will defeat you someday. From this day on...the Belmont Clan will hunt the night!" Death "died" quite dramatically, only to return but an hour later, and told his master what Leon had said. To that, Mathias merely said "So, that's how it is, then."

1094 - 1441: Interlude
Mathias lacked knowledge of how to use his powers properly and effectively, so Death told Mathias the location of a school of magic hidden by sorcery for centuries, the Leslie Fernandez Academy of Sorcery. Death took human form in order to "blend in" and not distract the students from their teachings. There, Death and Mathias met Katherine, Odia Finch, Imamiah, and Juliette Fernandez. He watched Mathias while he learned things about the dark arts from Odia. On September 12th, Death and the others he and Mathias had met went to the underground civilization of Agharta in the Americas, where many monsters dwelled under the protection of the first vampire, Eve. Death, Mathias, Imamiah, and Juliette together went to a spring with many female vampires, while Odia stayed behind. They swam for a time with the vampire women, but were interrupted when Eve came crashing into the cave of the springs. Death left so that Mathias could learn not to rely on him and practice using his abilities. When Eve was defeated by Odia, Death arrived with the intention of finishing her to give her soul to his master. Odia kept Death from doing that so that Eve could suffer a little longer from the illusions Odia had cast around her, but after a few minutes, Death killed her. Mathias obtained her soul and thus her power. With Walter Bernhard, Joachim Armster, and Eve's power, he became the most powerful vampire to ever exist. Their company left Agharta, and Juliette placed a strong Enochian seal on the city to keep the monsters from escaping out into the surface. However, with Eve's death, they had unknowingly broken another seal - the seal on the door to the Abyss, the prison of Asag.

Asag rose from above the ground in which Agharta was under, declaring he would resume his mission to eat the Earth and its many forms of life. Juliette departed on a warp pad to the academy to inform the High Council of Asag's return. The crystal that powered the air ship that took them from the academy to the Americas had mysteriously vanished, so when Odia attempted to start the air ship, it fell and shattered. Death and the others waited for Juliette to return, but Asag heard the crash, and landed with a crash at the location of the fallen ship, destroying the barrier that Odia and Death had placed over it. He fought them and tried to kill them, but as he was distracted easily, Odia used his magic to create a bright light. Asag's attention was directed to this light, giving the group a chance to escape, which they took. They flew far off, and Juliette returned to them. Asag found them again, so Odia used magic to cause another more distracting illusion. Juliette told Death and the others that she could not repair the air ship. So, they decided to summon Satan, the only one who was able to best Asag millennia ago. To their dismay, Satan was not willing to help them, no longer caring what Asag did. After a few days, Death and the others were able to kill Asag. Mathias obtained Asag's soul, thus rivaling the power of Satan and now surpassing Death's power (in his current state in which most of his power he allowed Nun to sap). No longer requiring the school's help and so no one else could come close to the power he had acquired, Mathias destroyed it and all of its students and staff, reducing it to smoldering ashes, leaving all of its inhabitants impaled on spears, burned to charred bone, or both. Juliette and Odia attempted to face the terrible power of Death and Mathias, but now, even her great magical prowess was not enough for them. Death sliced open her stomach with his scythe, and Mathias broke her scepter in two. In her last breath, with the last of her mana, she was able to utter a potent spell. A large coffin appeared, and entrapped Death, Mathias, and by accident Kate within it, and it was wrapped in chains of unknown origin. The coffin was encased under the burning ruins of the academy, and Juliette succumbed to her wounds.

A little over three centuries passed. In the Year of our Lord 1429, through a pact with Lucifer, a dark magic user who called himself Darkside freed Death and his master from the coffin. Darkside asked Mathias his name, knowing he was the Anti-Christ of legend but not his actual name, and the vampire said his name was "Dracula (Son of the Devil) Vlad (Ruler) Țepeș (the Impaler)", but they were to address him as "Lord Dracula". Kate was freed as well, and attempted to kill the Dark Lord, but failed, and retreated. Dracula turned all of Darkside's cult into vampires but Darkside himself, who curiously wished to remain human. Dracula told Death to go free all of the denizens of Agharta from their seal. So, Death flew to the Americas. Using a lot of his power, he was able to lift the spell Juliette had placed upon the door to the city three hundred years prior. The giant doors flew open, and out poured many monsters, at least, those who still survived, as the cattle had long since died and for those that needed it, there was no source of blood or flesh. Death, along with Darkside, Lucal Wesker, Gilles de Rais, Fumio Karr, Olrox Schiffer, and Brauner Schiffer were able to get all of the monsters to listen to them. Death told them that the vampire Dracula Vlad Țepeș was their new lord, the King of the Night. The monsters who did not accept this were killed by Death or one of those he had brought with him. But, most accepted, desiring a powerful leader. Under the cover of darkness, Death, Darkside, and the Vampire Nobility led the former inhabitants of Agartha to Wallachia, Bernhard Castle's location, the new lair of Dracula. Death issued their first order - for many to aid in constructing new towers and walls around the castle, and for others to act as its line of defense.

Death was prepared for waging war against humans for being God's prized creations and how so many of them blindly worshipped God. This is when Dracula met a beautiful human woman, Lisa, and married her, which made him end his campaign against humans before it began. They had two children together, Adrian Fahrenheit Țepeș and Krul Țepeș. Death, at first, had little interest in their children, but after about a year, Death had come to admire Lisa and the children of her and the Count, and became like a brother to Dracula and his closest friend, more so than Leon had been. He helped raise Dracula and Lisa's children and helped train them in combat, sparring with them, especially Adrian, who showed far more potential than Krul. He shared everything he had seen (that he could remember) since the universe began with Dracula, and no secrets were kept between he and the Lord of Darkness. For years, there was peace.

1441: Events of Kid Dracula
When Adrian was but ten years old, Dracula, Lisa, and all the others left on a family vacation. Dracula purposely left Adrian behind to watch over the castle and rule the creatures of the night in his place to test the power of the child of his that had the most potential, instead of just leaving Death to do it. Death watched over Adrian for a few weeks. Adrian was given responsibility over the castle, but Death was told to watch him closely and take care of him nonetheless. Three days into this, Death left for but a moment to go purchase some eggs for the child. When he returned, he learned from Adrian that the monsters of the castle had started a rebellion against them, proclaiming that a demon called Galamoth was their new Lord. Adrian had already crushed the rebels in the castle. Death offered to go kill the demon himself, but Adrian told Death that he would do it. So, Death followed Adrian, not interfering in his battles with Galamoth's minions, merely acting as a watchful guide. They found themselves travelling through time against their will, and found that the god Kronos, who, while not a reaper, called himself "the Time Reaper", was behind that. Once Kronos was destroyed, Death followed Adrian as he went to Galamoth's lair. Without any help from the Grim Reaper, the son of Dracula felled the wannabe Demon King. Death guided Adrian back to the castle, where all of the minions that were not killed once again hailed Dracula as their Master. Later, the Count and the other members of their family returned to the castle.

1444 - 1476: Interlude
After four more years of peace, the villagers of Alba captured Lisa, who had gone to the town to visit her parents' grave. She was burned at the stake. Death arrived at the last moment, yelling bloody murder, and in a few swings of his scythe, slaughtered the entire village. He was too late, as all that remained of Lisa was a charred corpse. Death turned Adrian away from the horrific sight. He returned to the castle with Adrian, and woke Dracula from his sleep at the brink of dusk. Dracula went mad with grief. Raising an army of demons and monsters beholden only to him, he unleashed them with merciless cruelty upon mankind. Death led several armies to battle with several countries. For nearly a decade, the Count and Death waged war with Europe. In 1450, Death was absent during Sonia Belmont's invasion of the castle. In 1476, Death was defeated thanks to the efforts of Trevor Belmont, Syfa Fernandez, Grant Danesti, and a rebellious Adrian, who had renamed himself Alucard. Soon after they defeated him, they slew Dracula as well before Death could return. He chose to spend the following three years searching for a way to revive his Master, as he could not do it with his powers.

1479: Events of Castlevania: Curse of Darkness
"'Soon, my master will enter Isaac's body. Though you were favored, Isaac will do. Dracula will once more walk the night! And as for you...it is time for you to die!'""- Death to Hector Wesker" After Trevor Belmont and his three comrades had successfully destroyed Count Dracula, the King of the Night placed a curse on all of Europe, with the intent that the corruption and misery bred from it would bring about his resurrection. Taking human form, masquerading as a priest, and crossed paths with Hector Wesker, a Devil forgemaster and son of Lucal Wesker, appearing as though he aimed to help Hector defeat his nemesis, Isaac Karr. He did this a few times, with the intention of leading either Isaac or Hector to their deaths so that whoever has fully succumbed to Dracula's Curse can be used as the host for the Count's return. Saint Germain confronted him about it, noticing a time anomaly as apparently, Dracula was not meant to resurrect until a century later. Saint Germain and Death fought (and Death remained in human form sensing Hector nearby) but Saint Germain only avoided Death's attacks, and told him he would return again and again until Death surrendered. Death tricked Saint Germain into the Eneomaos Machine Tower, a place where time was chaotic and had no meaning, freezing many of Saint Germain's powers. However, Hector freed Saint Germain from the tower after defeating him in battle.

Then, from the massive pool of dark magic that was leaked by another battle between Isaac and Hector, after Death had conducted the last of the rites, the Vampire Castle rose from the Dead Sea, albeit looking more ruined and falling apart than before. Inside the castle, Hector confronted Isaac again, and defeated him, yet did not give into the Curse, making him much less fit than Isaac as Dracula's host. Death revealed his whole plot to Hector, and began reviving Dracula with Isaac as the vessel, and then attacked Hector. To Death's surprise, Hector defeated Death. But, Dracula was resurrected. Yet, Dracula was incredibly weak compared to three years ago. Normally, Dracula would kill Hector without much of a fight, but due to this, the Lord of Darkness fell to Hector. Death returned soon after his Lord was killed, and began searching again for a way to revive the Blood Lord.

1579 - 1591: The Legend of Dracula
Death searched for several years for a way to revive the Dark Lord, but eventually gave up and decided to just wait for him to return in 1579. When he did, Death attempted to protect his Master as always, but was defeated by Christopher Belmont, Trevor Belmont's great grandson. His Master barely survived his ensuing fight with Christopher by faking his death, but was left with little to no power. Death continued governing reapers until 1591, when Dracula had planned a way to restore his power, but it required Darkside's magical prowess. Death told the Count that Darkside would return as a mindless zombie, but when Death did rise him from the dead, Darkside was able to keep his consciousness, though all that was left of him was a skeleton in tattered black robes, making his visage very similar to Death's. Four demon castles were risen from Hell that would gather dark power to return Dracula's form and strength. Christopher faced Darkside believing him to be Death, and killed him, while the real Death made sure the ritual was being completed. However, Christopher destroyed all the demon castles before the ritual was finished, cast the Count out of Soleiyu Belmont, whom he was possessing, and came to Castle Dracula with the intention of destroying the Dark Lord's resting place. Dracula was pathetically weak, so just as Christopher arrived, Death sacrificed his own soul to restore Count Dracula's powers. With the Dark Lord's full power restored, it seemed Christopher was doomed, but just as Dracula prepared to deal a fatal blow to Christopher, Soleiyu stabbed Dracula through the heart with the Vampire Killer and then cut off his head.

1691 - 1692: Dracula's Curse
Death waited for his Dark Lord's return for another one hundred years, silently watching over Castlevania. Dracula resurrected himself once more, and again Death attempted to kill the latest son of Belmont, Simon Belmont, but was defeated again, and Dracula was destroyed. However, the moment before the Count was killed, he cast his infamous Curse upon Simon. After a year passed, Simon discovered from the demon Lamashtu that it was the Curse that had not only made him ill, but had made him crave bloodshed and death. Death, knowing that Simon would attempt to revive the Count to free himself of the Curse, appointed the Blood Countess, Carmilla, as the guardian of one of Dracula's remains, and guarded another one of the Count's remains himself. Death unleashed monsters all across Wallachia to keep Simon from accomplishing his goal, and gathered them inside the several castles around the country to guard the rest of his Master's remains. Yet, Simon killed every minion of Death's in his way, then Carmilla, then Death, obtaining all of the remains. He resurrected the Lord of Darkness and killed him again, rather easily as Dracula was almost comically weak, destroyed just moments after he was resurrected, before almost any of his powers were restored.

1792 - 1800: The Dracula X Chronicles
"'In the name of the Master, I'll feast on your soul this night!'""- Death to Alucard, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night"Yet another century passed. Though the Lord of Darkness was due to rise again in only a few months, the Devil-worshiping dark priest Shaft Virgil took it upon himself to gather a cult of followers to congregate the powers of Satan to rise the Beast early. Shaft and his followers succeeded, and revived the Count in his unholy mountain fortress. Death arrived at Castle Dracula, welcoming his Master's return to this world. Dracula gave Shaft the task of kidnapping several women from villages near the castle. Death offered to help, but the Dark Lord wished to test Shaft's skill. After Shaft kidnapped Annette Renard, the betrothed of Richter Belmont, Death sensed Richter nearing Aljiba, the town closest to the castle of his Master. Death confronted Richter and tested the abilities of this Belmont. This one appeared to be the most skilled one yet, reminding Death of Leon Belmont's great power. The Grim Reaper left after declaring "Next time, it won't be so easy!" After Richter made his way to the ghost ship of the Dead Sea, a route taken to the castle by his ancestor Trevor, Death attacked the vampire hunter again. Death fought well, but was again defeated by the power and battle prowess of the Belmont Clan.

He returned, but as with every other time, not before his Master was killed in battle, and all of the village girls were rescued. He returned to his duties as the Grim Reaper. Not much time had passed and Death was surprised to see that Shaft had returned, having made a deal with Lucifer himself to be given back his life in exchange for resurrecting the Lord of Vampires again, but at full power. Five years later, Shaft discovered how to accomplish that, and he rose the Demon Castle. While Shaft possessed Richter to keep vampire hunters from interfering, the rites of the ritual were being prepared. Shaft requested that Death help him perform the ritual. Not long after all this had happened, none other than the Count's son Alucard came to the risen castle. The Grim Reaper appeared before Alucard and demanded he cease his attack, trying to go the peaceful route as he still had fond memories of Alucard from all those centuries ago. But, Alucard refused. Instead of attacking him, Death stripped him of his weapons and power, still trying to solve it without killing his Master's son. Then, he departed. However, it was all for naught, as later, in the inverted castle Shaft had created with powerful black magic as a place to complete Count Dracula's full-power revival, Alucard began thwarting the plans of Death and Shaft and slaying all of their minions. The Shinigami King had to leave Shaft to complete the ceremony alone, and went to face the son of the Lord of Darkness. As Death's power can't compare to his Master's, nor could it compare to his Master's son, so he was destroyed. Though the Count was revived, he was not complete, so Alucard was able to single-handedly slay his father without giving in to his vampire side.

Death, as usual, rose again soon after Dracula was destroyed. He again returned to his duty as the Shinigami King. Three years passed. Count Olrox, who had his own castle in Transylvania, called upon Death - for help. This surprised Death, as not only was Olrox normally quite arrogant, but Olrox had been slain by Alucard three years before. Death came to Castle Schiffer, and Olrox explained that a vampire hunter called Armund Danesti, the descendant of Grant Danesti of the Four Warriors of Wallachia, had come to his castle, intent on slaying him. Death asked why Olrox didn't believe he could handle this, and Olrox admitted that he feared Armund's whip, which had the blood of God himself in its thorns. So, Death agreed to help the noble vampire fight the vampire hunter. The embodiment of death explored Olrox's castle while he waited for Armund to attack Olrox. Just before Armund came to Olrox's throne room, Death read Olrox's journal, in which it was revealed that Olrox was the one who convinced the townspeople of Alba that Lisa was a witch, and so he was the one who ruined Dracula's life and again made him go insane. Because of this revelation, when Armund attacked Olrox, and Olrox called for him to help, Death did nothing. Death read more of Olrox's journal, awaiting Armund's arrival with the intention of killing Armund and ending his bloodline. When Armund arrived, Armund's skill in combat and the great power of his whip led Death to his defeat.

Since Armund knew Death would simply resurrect himself an hour later, Armund, with the knowledge passed down from his ancestors, used a seal that was the backup plan of Grant Danesti if he, Alucard, Trevor Belmont, and Syfa Fernandez were unable to kill the Lord of Darkness with their powers and weapons. The seal placed a magical barrier around Olrox Castle. When Death resurrected, he was unable to escape from the seal. When Count Dracula was risen by Carmilla some months later, Death was unable to aid him in the fight the vampire hunter that opposed the Count, Rusty Belmont.

1820: Events of Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
Twenty years after Dracula was again destroyed, a sorcerer called Barlowe found Olrox Castle and freed Death from its magical barrier with an ability that allowed him to absorb the power of demons so that they can be used in the form of what the Order of Ecclesia called a Glyph. He absorbed the magical barrier, which he discovered was the power of Dracula himself, and it was converted into the most powerful Glyph - Dominus. Barlowe nearly died from absorbing the Glyph, but to show gratitude for his freedom, Death removed Dominus from Barlowe's soul and placed it within Olrox's coffin. Death told Barlowe that, in exchange for resurrecting Count Dracula, he would make it impossible for Barlowe to die. In time, Barlowe was able to resurrect the Lord of Darkness with the Dominus Glyph, reviving him immediately at his maximum power. The Demon Castle rose from the Dead Sea. In the absence of the Belmonts, Death felt confident as his Master would be unstoppable this time. However, a pupil of Barlowe, Shanoa, went to the castle alone, having absorbed many Glyphs, obtaining many powers. Death was defeated by Shanoa. Soon after, Shanoa confronted the Vampire King. Her attacks did nothing to him, and the battle seemed hopeless for her, until she decided to sacrifice her life and use the Dominus Glyph. Just as Count Dracula prepared to use Demonic Megiddo, Shanoa used the Dominus Glyph, unleashing all of Dracula's power against himself and cancelling out his ultimate attack, and then killing him.

1893: Events of Dracula
When Dracula was brought back into this world by three witches, he told Death to return to his duties as Shinigami King until he returned to the castle from his trip to London. So, during all of the events of 1893, the Grim Reaper was absent, and wasn't around to help Dracula fight off the group of vampire hunters and save Dracula from Quincey Morris stabbing the Vampire Killer through his heart.
