Personality: Shi generally is to himself type of person perhaps that is because he is the 'Angel of Death' Incarnate or perhaps because he is an avid reader and student of numerous cultures as a student despite his look he prefers digging himself into reading and more reading... To say the least beyond this his loner attiude comes from the fact of how many view him far more a 'villian' and 'evil' just due to his nature.

Bio:

  SPOILERS: Click to reveal

Angel of Death, also known colloquially as the Grim Reaper. A being as old as time itself and contrary to what many believe, Death is not a angel tasked by God/Yahweh/Allah with the mission of judging deceased souls and deciding whether they gain entry to Heaven or Hell, but rather the subconscious manifestation of what all living things fear: death. During the Age of Darkness, Death was a shapeshifter that wandered aimlessly across the face of the earth and often took on the form of a beggar carrying a sword coated with a deadly poison and parchment scroll recording the deeds that all humans had committed during their lifetime. Death was very selective about the people that it killed and would only take life when ordered.

But, as soon as it has received permission to destroy, however, Death made no distinction between good or evil. The most well-known instances of Death’s ruthless are the large scale slaughter of 185,000 Assyrian soldiers laying siege to Jerusalem and killing all of the firstborn children in Egypt during the Exodus. Only efficacious prayer, constant study, and outstanding acts of charity for a short or long period of time could convince Death that someone was not ready to die yet.

 

It wasn’t until the Age of Man and the spread of the three Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) across the Eurasian supercontinent that Death would assume it’s iconic appearance as the black-coated and scythe-carrying, skull-faced harbinger of doom. As the pagan denizens of Europe and Asia came in contact with either of the three faiths, aspects of scythe-wielding and death-related figures from various Indo-European mythologies were assimilated into humanity’s conceptual envisionment of death. Some of these entities include but are not limited to Kronos/Saturn, the Valkyries, Ankou, Charon, Giltinė, Thanatos, Bean Nighe, Banshee, Yama, Hel, Pesta, the Dullahan and Cù Sìth.

 

However, the modern day image of the Grim Reaper manifested during the widespread epidemic of the Black Death that swept across Europe in the mid-14th century and killed ⅓ of the population. The plague came in various forms in different cities and because of the plague being highly contagious, priests refused to perform last rites, resulting in unburied dead bodies. Considering the frightening environment, where everyone feared being affected with this pandemic, it was only natural for people to view death as a skeletal figure, as the amount of corpses in the vicinity were overwhelming. This pandemic was named ‘Black Death’ because the victims were covered in mysterious black boils that oozed blood and puss. Also, the skin of the victim became black and gangrenous. Black is also the color that is worn in funerals and deaths. Hence, was natural for the artists of that era to see death coming in the color black. While initially, tools such as crossbow, ax, or dart was shown as Death’s weapon, gradually it was replaced with a scythe, and many artists portrayed death, or the Grim Reaper, using this tool to mow souls.

Abilities:
 

Scroll of Deeds: 
Shi usually carries around a scroll with him, documenting all of the good and evil acts that every sentient being on Earth has carried out while they were alive. This skill somewhat of a useful tool for discerning the identity of someone or trying to theorise on their varying strengths and weaknesses. Unfortunately, this list does not extend to the Pure Darkness enemies

Scythe/Sickle Creation:
As the name implies he can create Scythe's and Sickles with merely a snap of his fingers. 

Chains of Fate: 
Shi can summon magical chains out of thin air that literally bind a target in place and neutralize their abilities and

movement.

Summon Horse: A pure charcoal mane horse that has crimson red eyes.
 

Ultimate Ability: 

Alqadi, Lajnat Almuhallafin Walmunaffidha: Ruthless Angel of Death
A dozen ghostly, glowing hands will materialize out of the ground and drag their target into the ground like a bag of screaming meat. When the ground sink up to the victim’s throat, the hands will simply hold them in place to ensure that they will not attempt to escape, as Shi conjures up no more than 12 scythes that will hover some twenty feet above their target and he hoists his own scythe above his left shoulder in preparation to deliver a lethal strike. And then, Death and all 12 scythes will converge upon the target’s throat at once in the hopes of dealing multiple slashes that sever the victim's head completely from their neck and end their life in an instant…
