Death takes his job very seriously even to the point of stopping the soulgutter, one of [[Saruin]]'s creations. He was requested to aid in the return of his brother in the conquest and the subsequent destruction of Mardias by one of Saruin's [[Minions]]. He can't directly aid in his brothers' aims for fear of retribution from [[Elore]]. He did however try to aid his brother by releasing the most powerful soul he housed in purgatory which did not have the results they expected. Which was [[Darque]] and assasin from three hundred years prior. Unbeknowst to Death he also released [[Aldora]] the Wizzard which was housed whithin the same body as Darque. Their personalities are in conflict as they try to recover lost memories within the same body and you can chose which one you wish to recruit. Death fears another war with the Gods and aids the Heroes when they seek his help. He gave them access to purgatory to recover Aldora's memory, trades souls for itemsas well as a protion of their lives for strength and salvation for fallen allies. He goes as far as to tell the place where Saruin was sealed, as Elore and the Giants fails to do so. He tells them to seek out the Istmus home of [[Albert]], for that is where Saruin sleeps and bids the Heroes farewell. | ||

Death can return dead characters to life (which costs 1 LP permanently and is the only way to unlock [[Frosthold Fortress]] before reaching ER 22), the player can also trade his party member's life for a sword and an armour (it's possible to bring along party members who you don't train for this), but it's always the party member closest to the protagonist, which can force the player to disband party members, which in certain cases is a little risky, so seeing how the weapons aren't exactly to be called "ultimate", it's a move few players do. Also, (and most importantly) Death can tell the player where his younger brother [[Saruin ]]is so that the player can confront him. He also can unlock [[Purgatory|Purgatory ]]in Aldora's quest. | |||

== | ==Trivia== | ||
Death | *The battle theme for his battle was actually used in a trailer for the whole game. | ||
*His dungeon, that is [[The Netherworld]], was shown to players during gaming conventions when the game was presented, so it's quite likely that players did possibly get to see Death. Also worthy to note, the player character that was used for that was [[Aisha]]. | |||
*Death might be an evil God, but he can be considered a God of Justice seeing how he protects the souls of mortals. | |||
*Interesting to note how in Death's Chamber, the window behind him shows a blue sky with a bit of green grass. It's quite possible that it's meant to be [[Paradise]]. | |||
