The Grim Reaper is a member of 'The Council of Cosmic Beings' along with Life, Time, Death, Space, Fate, Karma, and Faith (aka The Guardian Angel). The Grim Reaper is a skeleton in a black cloak who carries a large scythe with him to reap the souls of those who die a deliver them to Death (a completely separate entity) so he can send them to Heaven or Hell. Despite his appearance, The Grim Reaper is not evil. He cares for those who die and will fill out any and all last requests they have.
