Death

Death is a character in Amazon series Good Omens and is one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He is older than time itself. He rides a black motorcycle and carries a scythe. When the news of the apocalypse reaches him, he teams back up with Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse including Famine, Pollution and War to find Adam Young to serve under his rule while destroying the planet.

In the novel, his first appearance is where he is mopping up the messes of the other horsemen. War’s rampage in Kumbolaland, Famine starving his customers and Pollution’s oil tanker spilling over. He is everywhere.

When Adam refuses to help them fulfill the prophecy of the apocalypse, a battle ensues.
