Death
Robed scythe bearer
Death personified as a figure, typically depicted as a skeletal being in a hooded robe carrying a scythe.
In medieval art, Death appears as a character who comes to claim the living.
Death rides a pale horse.
The personification appears across cultures and literature, from Ingmar Bergman's chess-playing figure to Terry Pratchett's Death WHO SPEAKS IN CAPITALS. (Lowercase death is the state or event.)
