## Origin

The Reapers are created by the Angel of Death. They serve Death and a sole purpose of assisting in reaping souls, and carrying them to Underworld. The highest level of reapers are the Grim Reaper, which is the leader of the reapers. Although, once Death had a daughter she had become in control of reapers, as by birth, she had become the Grim Reaper. Shortly after the dawn of time, once Death created the Underworld, he had created the Reapers to serve him. But as time advanced, time and early civilization was created on Earth, Death made the Underworld a place where their human souls can be reaped, and brought to transfer to Heaven or Hell, based upon the purity of the way they lived. He then gave the Reapers the purpose of helping him reap these souls as a way to maintain the Natural Order and Cosmic Balance.
