Death (Disgaea 3)

Death is a monster type class introduced in Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice. In Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, there was a class called the Shadow, which acted as the Grim Reaper of that game, so the Death class acts as a refurbished version of the original Shadow.

The Death class is very different in design compared to its Hour of Darkness counterpart. Death appears as a skeletal demon wearing a suit and a scarf and wielding a bone scythe. He also has large skeletal wings sticking out of his back. He wears a mask that looks like the skull of a demonic bull or similar creature; underneath is simply a faceless head with glowing red eyes. As his name suggests, he has the ability to hunt down and collect the souls of the dead so he can send them on their way to whatever fate awaits them (whether it be the afterlife or an atonement period as a Prinny). Should he attack an enemy while they are weakened, he can potentially kill them instantly (as shown with his native Evility "Death Whisper" which allows him to instantly kill an enemy who has their SP down to 25% or less).

Trivia

 * Death appears in various skills used by Unique Characters (Gig and Zetta for example).
 * One of the Evil Academy Class Assembly parties is the Death Party, made entirely out of Deaths. They are one of the 3 high-ranking parties and thus not easily swayed at first. A couple Orbs will change their minds though.
 * Their second Magichange skill is a reference to the Starlight Breaker spell used by Nanoha Takamachi in the anime Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha.
 * Their fourth Evility is actually the same ability that Fubuki possessed in Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories.
 * Tier names may be references to various gods or terms connected with darkness and death: Chernobog is Slavic diety of darkness and destruction, Mrtyu is an Indian (Sanskrit) word meaning Death, Samael is the Angel of Death in early Jewish lore, and Thanatos is the death god from Greek Mythology.
 * The Death class shares two tier names to the Shadow class, namely the Chernobog (albeit in different tier levels), and the Thanatos (the sixth tier in both classes).
