Ludger is a capable Grim Reaper, who performs his tasks dutifully and impartially, and smokes on occasion. As he had asserted himself, Ludger dislikes being busy; hence, he has a strong aversion to great disturbances, such as the global war Sascha predicted may transpire. His Death Scythe takes on the appearance of a hedge trimmer. All grim reapers were human that committed suicide, Ludger is not keen on talking about this, but at least he is now free to smoke since he is dead.
