“Never trust a demon. He has a hundred motives for anything he does … ninety-nine of them, at least, are malevolent.”
— Dream, in Sandman #4: “A Hope in Hell”
In the stories, Death is both the end of life and a psychopomp. Like most anthropomorphic personifications of death, Death meets with the recently deceased and guides them into their new existence. Death is an immortal being of virtual omnipotence and omnipresence. However, it has been established that she cannot claim beings as powerful as the likes of Lucifer Morningstar or Michael Demiurgos. Death’s popularity saw her spun off into two solo limited series, Death: The High Cost of Living, and Death: The Time of Your Life.
