Story

Whilst only making a small appearance in MediEvil, Death's involvement in the story is slightly expanded upon in Resurrection. Dan first encounters him Return to the Graveyard where he is shown to be extremely frustrated with Zarok due to him raising the dead all over Gallowmere, making his job quite difficult. He agrees to help fight Zarok and informs Daniel the locations of the Anubis Stone pieces. He is later encountered again in Pools of the Ancient Dead where Dan helps him rebuild MechaDeath which was destroyed whilst attempting to clear up the battlefield, Dan also helps him relocate his missing boat. After Dan has collected all the Anubis Stone pieces as well as the Dragon Plate Armour from Dragon Island, Death will ferry him to the Haunted Ruins. He doesn't appear for the rest of the game after this point; however he does narrate the games ending.

Personality

He is weary and sardonic, yet retains an air of engaging charisma and elegant charm. If he ever had any real enthusiasm for his job, it's been long gone. However, he has two key redeeming features that shine through his aura of melancholy resignation: His comprehensive knowledge of Gallowmere, and a sneaking admiration (almost paternal regard) for the undead knight Sir Daniel Fortesque, whom he sees as his only hope of gaining some peace from massively increased workload.
