** Death has also been replaced temporarily by his apprentice Mort and Mort's daughter (Death's "granddaughter") Susan Sto Helit. One is a knobby-kneed adolescent male who gradually starts taking on Death's traits while the other is a young woman.
** Death and Susan are also two of the only things standing between humanity and [[Complete Monster|the auditors]]. And ''boy'' have they done a good job there... <!-- MOD: Nothing is certain but Death and Susan... -->
* The book ''[[The Book Thief]]'' is narrated by Death, who is amusing, non-linear and <s>rather</s> ''very'' compassionate towards humans (he specifically states he's haunted by them, especially "the ones who are left behind"), particularly the other main characters. Given that it's a book about World War II, the "amusing" part takes a sharp turn. The death camp scenes, unsurprisingly, are particularly [[Tear Jerker|bad]].
* Thanatos (aka Zane) from ''[[Incarnations of Immortality]]'' will take time to talk to his clients and give whatever comfort he can (if they need it). He's also managed to prevent a few deaths he thought unfair or unnecessary. At least one other character comments that he has an unusually caring approach to his Office.
