An Angel of Death is a supernatural being often associated with the transition between life and death, serving as a psychopomp who guides souls from the mortal world to the afterlife. Its portrayal varies widely across religions, mythologies, and works of fiction, but it almost always embodies the moment of dying — the silent threshold where mortal existence ends and something beyond begins.

In Abrahamic traditions, the Angel of Death is sometimes named Azrael, depicted not as a malevolent force but as a divine servant carrying out the will of God. He is described as compassionate, sorrowful, and patient, recording each soul’s life and gently separating spirit from body when the appointed time arrives. In contrast, other interpretations present the Angel of Death as terrifying or implacable, appearing as a dark presence cloaked in shadow, a skeletal figure with a scythe, or a radiant being of light whose very gaze stops the heart.

The idea of an Angel of Death is not limited to religion. In literature and folklore, it represents inevitability — the inescapable conclusion of every life. Poets and storytellers use it as a symbol of fate, justice, or mercy. In some tales, it visits the wicked as punishment; in others, it offers release to the suffering. Philosophically, it embodies humanity’s confrontation with mortality: the fear of the unknown, the hope for peace, and the question of what lies beyond.

Within fantasy settings like Dungeons & Dragons or dark mythic worlds, the Angel of Death might be personified as a celestial reaper, an impartial collector of souls serving the cosmic balance. Whether divine messenger, grim reaper, or spectral judge, the Angel of Death remains one of humanity’s most enduring archetypes — a reminder that death, though feared, is not chaos but the ultimate order to which all life returns.
