The Harbinger of Doom

Everyone's time is coming of course, and as the Angel of Death it is your duty to take those souls when necessary. You are death in all forms, everything else is just something leading to that point. The young, the old, the rich, the poor.....nothing will protect them from you. Death is inevitable.

Yes, the action takes place in the coliseum and I watched the Gladiator movie to get inspiration.
