Biography[]

Death worked as the registration officer of the afterlife, where he took down the info of people who had died before they could be let into the afterlife. However, he became so amused by the stupid ways people had died that he decided to turn his job into an X Factor-esque show, where he and two skeletons who are Louis and a un-named female skeleton act as judges to decide in order to be amused by the stupid deaths and decide if they are worthy to be let into the afterlife.

Personality[]

Death is a humorous character. He laughs at several stupid deaths, and seemingly takes the topic of demise lightly. He comes off as insensitive to some contestants, as he noticeably mocks their deaths in a joking manner.

Appearance[]

Death wears a black cloak and has long white hair. His face is pale with black markings, similar to that of a skeleton. He had a slightly less polished appearance in Series 1. In Series 2, his official look was finalised and perfected.
