==Summary==
Death is the leader and strongest member of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He is the main protagonist of Darksiders 2, where he attempts to find a way to free and save his younger brother War, who was wrongly imprisoned by The Charred Council.
Death is a cold, calculating warrior with unknown millennia of combat experience. As the second born of all Nephilim, Death is incredibly wise, but also strict, never standing for annoyances or useless actions. Death will not hesitate to exert his full power to swiftly destroy his enemies in brutal fashion, regardless of size, number, or relation to him. However, as scathing and sarcastic Death might seem, he is capable of displays of kindness. He has a respect for creation not often found, and holds great compassion for his siblings, especially War, whom he almost got killed. He regrets many things, such as the slaughter of his race, the Nephilim, as well as his creation of the Grand Abominations, but his will to survive and protect the Balance keeps him calm through even the worst of times.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
<tabber>
|-|Passive Abilities=
*Reaper Form: Like his fellow Horsemen, Death can transform himself into a giant, more powerful form, thought to be his true incarnation. Taking on the appearance of a hooded being with skeletal wings and a giant scythe, Death is rendered invulnerable to his opponents, can fly, and deals far more damage than normal, easily obliterating foes that can stand up to his base. Unique to Death, however, is the ability to call forth his Reaper Form to aid him in battle or exploration without fully transforming, further showing how his skill exceeds his brethren. He can augment his normal strikes with his enhanced self, granting bursts of intense damage and range.
*Evade Counter: If Death makes a particularly skillful dodge of an opponent's attack, a flicker of his reaper form appears to strike back at the attacker.
*Soul Splitter: Death can split his spirit into two forms, turning his physical body to stone and rendering it temporarily invulnerable.
*Despair: Death can summon his steed Despair to aid him in battle.
|-|Wrath Powers=
Harbinger Tree
*Teleport Slash: Death teleports across the battlefield and delivers a violent scythe attack that deals damage and steals life to heal Death. Can be augmented to set enemies on fire, freeze them, cause an explosion or boost Death's damage.
*Harvest: Death's true incarnation appears, unleashing a spinning scythe attack that devastates surrounding foes. Increases Death's damage by the amount of foes struck.
*Unstoppable: Death's unearthly strength is increased dramatically for a short time.
*Reaper Storm: Death's form rips apart into a tornado of debris and fragments of ancient bone, laying waste to those caught in the maelstrom.
Necromancer Tree
*Exhume: Death summons bloodthirsty Ghouls from beyond the grave to fight alongside him. These ghouls can be augmented to taunt foes, set enemies on fire, and explode when they die or go away.
*Aegis Guard: Death surrounds himself with a necromantic shield, significantly increasing his defense and resistances. This ability is able to reflect damage back at attackers, boost Death's arcane abilities and shoot threads of lightning at enemies.
*Murder: A murder of crows emerges from the ether, called by Death to attack his foes. These crows heal Death as they do damage, and can be imbued with the chill of the Abyssal Plains to deal ice damage.
*Frenzy: Death channels his remaining Wrath reserves to attack his enemies, sending out incredibly powerful homing energies.
