==Origin==
As a prominent aspect of human life and culture, depictions of personifications of Death are common in numerous media. The image of a hooded skeletal figure wielding a scythe is often known as the Grim Reaper. Fittingly, Death appears as a regular character in the ''Castlevania'' series, often filling the role of Dracula's most trusted servant. Death is the only boss aside from Dracula to return in ''Castlevania II: Simon's Quest'' where he serves as the boss of Brahm's Mansion, and drops the Gold Knife, the strongest knife in the game. In ''Castlevania: Symphony of the Night'', Death appears before [[Alucard]] and tries to persuade him to cease his crusade against his father. When Alucard refuses, Death strips Alucard of all of his gear, requiring him to obtain new weapons, armor, and abilities throughout the game.
 
''Castlevania: Lament of Innocence'' reveals that Death is bound to serve the wielder of the Crimson Stone, an ancient artifact created in the process of making the Philosopher's Stone. Mathias Cronqvist is revealed to be the wielder of the Stone and becomes a vampire, eventually becoming Dracula. However, Death does not serve Soma Cruz despite him being the reincarnation of his master, possibly due to him not wielding the Crimson Stone.
