"In the end, all roads lead to me."
―Death to Lilia Calderu[src]

Death is a abstract entity, the embodiment of death and decay of all living things.

Death came into existence at the dawn of time shortly after the Living Tribunal, along with other abstract entities such as Eternity, Infinity, and Oblivion. Over time, Death was portrayed in various legends across the cosmos, with various races aware of its existence. Due to her multiversal nature, to interact with specific universes and lesser beings, she created her main avatar, known as Lady Death or Mistress Death, present in every reality, which she uses to carry out her will and preserve The Natural Order within a specific reality. Lady Death has a mind and will of her own, but its still under Death's control, and shares her senses with her,

At some point, Death became intrigued and took pity on the infant Thanos after seeing him nearly killed by his own mother. She visited him frequently, becoming his childhood friend and eventually a romantic partner, but later became disgusted by Thanos' experiments and ideology, causing her to bitterly despise him.

In 1750, Death was summoned by Agatha Harkness and Rio Vidal to negotiate a deal for the life of their son, Nicholas Scratch, and Death agreed to delay Nicholas's death as long as Harkness and Vidal continued to kill people to take his place, and she eventually fell in love with the two witches and joined their relationship. When Scratch contracted smallpox and his mothers failed to continue killing people to take his place, Death finally came to him to take his soul to the afterlife. When Harkness blamed Death, cut off their ties, and then used the Darkhold and dark magic to hide, Death felt betrayed and hurt, and after Harkness openly disrespected and insulted her, Death became determined to take her soul.

After Thanos' Snap, Death appeared to Thanos and coldly reprimanded him about what he have done and tells him that he will regret doing that. Death lured the Avengers to Thanos' location and, by encouraging Thor to kill him, Death used his death to keep The Natural Order stable until the balance is restored, which would eventually happen when Death helped the Avengers to gather the Infinity Stones and having Hulk performing the Blip.

In 2026, Death resurfaced again when Agatha Harkness, having lost and not using the Darkhold in years, finally lost her ability to hide from her and the Scarlet Witch's spell she was trapped within was on its final days, Death is intent on personally killing the legendary witch for disrespecting her and using Dark Magic to disrupt the natural order of things carelessly, she possessed Rio Vidal and went to attack her on her house, but gave up seeing that Harkness no longer had her powers, so she resumed her disguise and informed the Salem's Seven of Harkness's whereabouts, silently following her down the Witches' Road and trying to kill her and her newly formed coven. She also wanted to collect Billy Maximoff's soul as his reencarnation was disrupting The Natural Order, and also have lured Nicholas Scratch and Natalia Harkness-Vidal into the Witches' Road so they could have their revenge on Agatha while promissing to give them the power to subdue their enemies.

When Vidal resurrected Lilia Calderu and deliberately did not use someone else to "take her place", Death interrupted the Trials and confronted Vidal, Harkness and her coven personally on the Witches' Road right before Vidal's trial, where she was eventually dissuaded, and she used Karina and Laurus' deaths to take Lilia's place. After returning to Earth, Vidal offered the death of Diarus, one of the two remaining members of Salem's Seven, to take Billy's place in The Natural Order, which Death accepted, and later confronts Harkness to take her life. When Harkness is willing to sacrifice herself to keep her coven save from Death, she curses in Spanish out of rage and tells Harkness she is ruining her hunt.

Death tells Harkness that she came to claim the life of "an arrogant little dark witch who thought she was immortal", but no longer sees that in Harkness' character anymore. Knowing now that Harkness understands the importance about the end of life, Death accepts defeat by telling Harkness to live her life well, reminding that they will meet again once Harkness dies or passes away from natural causes. Harkness accepts this by saying that she will accept whatever fate has planned for her when they meet each other again. Satisfied by Harkness' response, Death happily departs from Earth.

In 2027, Death resurfaced after T'Challa's son, T'Challa II, attempted to contact his father through necromancy and their souls were switched, accidentally resurrecting his father and killing himself in the process, disrupting The Natural Order. Lay Death comes into conflict with Shuri and the Wakandan Royal Family as she attempts to reverse the switch by forcibly taking T'Challa's second life. Their conflict ends when Shuri awakens her latent magical abilities and become the Queen of the Dead, so she uses necromancy to reverse the switch, satisfying her.

Alternate Realities[]

Reality 10005[]

Reality 10005's Death became interested and curious with Deadpool, specially his abilities that prevented him from dying, which led her to watch him closely. When Wolverine, the Anchor Being of that reality, died, Death and the other abstracts reunited and decided to let the universe die, and its Local Tree with it.

When Cassandra Nova began using the Time Ripper to destroy Reality 10005 and its entire Local Tree, Death was almost killing Cassandra Nova with her dagger when the Time Ripper colapsed and destroyed it and Nova.

Death then turned Deadpool and Wolverine into the Anchor Beings of this reality, and appeared in front of them, thanking them for their deeds and for being willing to sacrifice themselves to save their reality, which also made him win her favor. Death later attended to Deadpool's party.

A while later, Death meet Deadpool a few times, and falls in love with him. Eventually, Deadpool learns her true identity but remains in their relationship. When Reality 10005 was attacked and invaded by the forces of Kang the Conqueror, Deadpool and his friends fought under Death's protection, but they eventually lost, and before Reality 10005 cease to exist, Death sends them to the Prime Reality and dies along with that universe.

Personality[]

Death's Personality[]

Death is a horrifically powerful, ancient, cold and detached entity. She displays a matter-of-fact, detached, sardonic and quick-witted attitude, Dispassionate, and even icy, she is not without honour and even nobility.

Due to its nigh-omnipotent power and its incredibly advanced age, Death is completely distanced from the rest of the universe, rarely showing herself connecting to the people or beings who live within it. She even went so far as to compare Ikaris to a bacterium, as if to state that her view on the importance of humans is just like how humans view the importance of bacterium. Additionally, she cares very little for major events of the world like the emmergence of Tiamut, and despite her coerced involvement by Arishem, she only pays the events vague interest, resulting in her tendency to wander off from her assigned targets. However, if those events escalate into disrupting The Natural Order she values so much, she won't hesitate in interveining to correct the situation, such as when she helped the Avengers to find Thanos and kill him so he would take the place of all the ones he killed in the Snap, and later also helped them to retrieve the Infinity Stones and undo the Snap.

Lady Death's Personality[]

"I've missed you, do you like this face?"
"I hate you"
"How long has it been, Agatha? "
―Lady Death to Agatha Harkness while possessing Rio Vidal's body[src]

When Death interacts with lesser beings and plane, she turns into Lady Death, her main avatar. As Lady Death, Death is a cunning, unpredictable, and sinister individual whose sole purpose is to take the souls of the dead. While her better nature is to wait for mortals to die naturally without intervention, if someone angers or offends her enough, especially by disrupting the natural order of things, she will physically manifest herself to attempt to forcibly take their life. Death has sadistic tendencies and thrives on a good fight, she also takes a certain pride and pleasure in her work, enjoying the chance to hunt and toy with her victims until she is ready to end their lives properly. She also enjoys instilling fear in her victims, openly admitting that she finds the smell of fear "intoxicating". Death also likes to play tricks with her targets, mocking and taunting them with sarcastic jokes, using her powers to scare them.

However, despite her sinister nature, Death does have a sense of morality and a code of honor, as her main reason for pursuing Agatha Harkness in the first place was to punish the witch for using Dark Magic and recklessly disrupting The Natural Order, and openly disrespecting her through claims such as "Agatha Harkness laughs in the face of death". However, although she harbored much anger towards Agatha Harkness, she willingly spared her life while acknowledging that Harkness had become a better person who deserved to live in the end. This indicates that despite representing the end of mortal life, Death still considers life sacred and is only disgusted by those who do not treat their own lives with true appreciation or care, and who believe they can avoid dying altogether. Although her encounters and battles with Harkness prove that she is incapable of being defeated, it is still implied that she respects people who understand the value of life and who accept that they cannot avoid it when the time comes. She is also capable of setting aside her grudges in favor of positive change and respect, as represented by her willingness to let Harkness live and wish her a good life.

Furthermore, when reaping a soul, she tends to change her behavior. For afflicted souls and/or those of good people, Death shows a more comforting, empathetic and compassionate attitude, and for souls of bad people, Death is cold, antagonistic, mocking and sarcastic.

Despite her overall indifferent and even cold demeanor, Death is capable of forming emotional connections. When she first met Thanos, in which he was almost killed by his own mother, Death felt pity for him, and for a time, she acted as friend and as a brief romantic partner, however, she eventually became disgusted by his experiments and ideology, with her friendship and love turning into bitter despise, eventually leading to her coldlessly leading the Avengers to kill him. When she was summoned by Agatha Harkness and Rio Vidal, who were looking to negotiate with her to save their son's life, Death accepted a deal in which she would prolong his life as long Harkness and Vidal kept killing people to take his place and keep the balance, showing that she is willing to bend the rules if she can assure that it's all under control, and later, she fell in love with Harkness and Vidal. When she finally came to take Nicholas Scratch's soul to the afterlife, Death appeared genuinely upset and sad, showing that Death may regret or not wish to take certain souls if emotionally invested in some way, but she remains determined to collect each soul in their due time as a necessary part of existence, and as such, she felt deeply betrayed and hurted when Harkness blamed her for Scratch's death and went to hide herself for years using dark magic.

Overall, Death is best described as a stern and dangerous, yet honorable and reasonable spirit who takes her work seriously. She enjoys a thrilling challenge and is more than happy to punish mortals who greatly underestimate the severity of what she represents, but she does not kill for the sake of it, and is capable of respecting and sparing those who prove her wrong.
