"They are created when creatures die in misfortunate or accidental ways before their time."
"They kill people, draining their lives, and sending them forward for judgment."
"So, not much. Reapers have not died. I was born and will be alive till the end of time. Reapers are "immortal." I am a "timeless" being. I have not died and I will not die; I will just cease to exist. Reapers are born from the true love between two different creatures. Generally, only one child per union will be a reaper; the other children will take after one parent or the other. Each Reaper is unique because of this. As for our jobs, we do not kill people. That is a misconception.
