| ~ Lord Death to Kishin Asura |
Summary
Lord Death is one of the major supporting characters of Soul Eater, one of a group of five immortals known as Great Old Ones who possess the power to influence the minds of others with their Madness Wavelengths. In the past, Death founded the group known as Death's Eight Guardians composed of fellow Great Old Ones and three others to act as his personal guards on his quest to maintain balance. Among the group was Asura, whom Death created from a fragment of his soul in an attempt to improve himself. While Death intended to have Asura rule by his side, Death was forced to seal away his son when he became the Kishin and wiped out some of their own. Binding his soul to the area of Asura's sealing, altering his appearance to appear more child-friendly, Death established the organization and school known as "Death Weapon Meister Academy" to prevent the uprising of another Kishin and maintain the world order. From there, Death would create another "son" in the form of Death the Kid five centuries later as his heir.
