The Reaper represents death and the taking of one from purgatory into the afterlife. He fights with Eva, the embodiment of consciousness to bring her to the other side. As her physical body- Ava- dies, The Reaper must fight Eva to let go of her other half and follow him into eternal oblivion. He is cunning and quick-witted but holds an understanding of the unknown his victims must accept. He meets Eva with kindness as he guides her towards the ring of light. When he is met with resistance, he knows his only chance is to reciprocate with force- leading to a choreographed dance of their fight. Once convinced, The Reaper disappears and allows Eva to find her way into the afterlife on her own.
