New Death
Death is a fictional character in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series and a parody of several other depictions of the Grim Reaper across Europe. He is a black-robed skeleton who usually carries a scythe and on occasion a sword for dispatching royalty. His jurisdiction is specifically the Discworld itself; he being only a minion of Azrael, the Death of all things across the Universes – in much the same way as the Death of Rats is an infinitesimally small part of Death himself.
Pratchett explores human existence through his depiction of death, which becomes more sympathetic throughout the series as it progresses.
Death almost never kills anyone or anything, but — acting in the form of a psychopomp — he merely ensures that when lives come to an end, they move on to where they believe they should go if they are sentient, which often involves a desert to be crossed.
