Death is a friendly, sympathetic, merciful, and understanding entity whose job is to claim the souls of those that died. Whenever he must harvest a soul, he always tries to show sympathy and love to the deceased, and promises all of them that in his realm, they will find peace. If the dead died painful deaths, or had lives filled with suffering, he promises that in his realm, they will never be in pain anymore. Death isn't really fond of his job as "death" itself.
