Background

Death, also known as the Grim Reaper, is Dracula's right-hand man, serving as a reoccurring boss and one of the main antagonists of the Castlevania series.

As the name suggests, he is death itself, being a being born out of chaos who serves Dracula. Thanks to Dracula's power, as long as he lives, Death will revive itself again and again. Death usually shows up as among the last of the bosses, sometimes aided by his minions Gaibon and Slogra as seen in Super Castlevania IV, with his primary attacks being summoning several sickles limitlessly.
