Psychopomp	comment	Death is a fact of life, fascinating, frightening, and ultimately mysterious. It's not so surprising, then, that every mythology in existence deals extensively with dying and the prospect of a world to come — a process often described in terms of a journey between this life and the next. Greek for conveyors of the soul (and a title applied to Hermes), psychopomps are this journey's guides, and they are everywhere in mythology. Most cultures, ancient or modern, include at least one figure with this function; several have many. They are not necessarily personifications of death or judges of the dead, although many are; they may or may not choose the slain, but all escort their charges to the next world. If more than one appears, they may dispute over who gets the soul, which will determine the destination. Often they act as threshold guardian figures either to dead souls or to living heroes descending into the underworld. In many cases, it's common for burial rites to include an offering to the guardian of the gates of death. Their ability to cross between the lands of the living and the dead — they may be the only beings who can — may make them uncanny even among their kinds. Still, in any case, you don't need to fear these guys. Like most mythological concepts, these figures have crept into present-day media; hardly a Bangsian Fantasy series leaves the concept unexplored, and most other fantasy settings at least touch on it. An increasingly prominent subgenre features the protagonists as psychopomps, either as their main job or as an important secondary duty. Please add examples to this page only if they do not fit one of its subtropes. Subtropes: Afterlife Express: When the psychopomp travels in or takes the form of a vehicle, usually a train. Archangel Azrael: The Angel of Death, who brings the souls of the deceased before God's judgement in Jewish and Islamic tradition. The Ferryman: A mythological archetype (usually Charon) who guides a character on their boat to a specific destination in their afterlife. The Grim Reaper: A psychopomp, and usually a bringer of death as well. Shinigami: "Death Gods", the afterlife sanitation workers of the east. Valkyries: A Norse counterpart, who specifically choose those who died an Honorable Warrior's Death in combat, picking the warrior from the battlefield and taking him to Valhalla, the warrior's paradise. For the next step up in the Celestial Bureaucracy, see God of the Dead.

When people die, a soul reaper performs a certain act that allows the soul to pass on in peace. (Most of the 'bad guys', especially in early chapters, are souls that were left too long; it just takes a different act for them to move on). The story's events, however, make them pretty much The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything (or, at least, the Reapers that are protagonists).

(He's fine dealing with the usual flow of deaths, but has absolutely no interest in a major catastrophe increasing his workload.) At one point, the Ankou shows himself to a pair of local cops about to arrest Spirou and Fantasio, and tells them "It's usually a bad thing for living people to see me, right? So, let's make a deal: you forget you saw those two, and I'll forget that I have seen you."

Psychopomp / int_4885590d	comment	Forever Knight. A flashback to when Nicholas was brought across showed that after his blood was drained by LaCroix, he saw a veiled woman standing in a glowing doorway. LaCroix then called on Nicholas to turn away from the light and return to him, while the veiled woman offers him the choice of going on to the Afterlife, or returning to Earth to live as a vampire. That week's case involved a Flatline Plotline, so Nicholas recreates his Near-Death Experience to see if he can make a different choice. This time the guide to the Afterlife looks like LaCroix, which is explained as the evil within him changing the form of the guide (who is apparently the same being he met before). The guide explains that he can pass into the light but his soul will be judged for the thousands that he has killed over the centuries, or he can continue to atone for his actions on Earth. Fortunately Natalie and Schanke are able to revive him so he can.

Psychopomp / int_49ad83ee	comment	World of Warcraft: Spirit Healers are ethereal blue-skinned and winged women who guide the souls of players back to their bodies when they die. Valkyr are the in-game equivalent to valkyries, being vrykul women who proved themselves in life. They were created by Odyn in order to collect the souls of powerful warriors to serve as an army against the Legion. Bwonsamdi is the troll loa of death who guides the spirits of his followers to "Da Other Side". He is more than willing to strike bargains with his followers in exchange for longer life, though the price is high, and will offer his followers either blessings or agony based solely on his mood. In Zandalar he takes over the role of Spirit Healers, usually offering some snide commentary when a player dies. The Shadowlands expansion reveals an entire part of the afterlife dedicated to the job of psychopomps. Bastion is the afterlife of those who lived their lives in dutiful service to a higher cause. Souls sent to Bastion undergo rigorous trials to eventually ascend into the Kyrian, who travel across the multiverse to bring deceased souls to the Arbiter for their judgement. The Spirit Healers are revealed to be Kyrian "Watchers". Their duty is to judge souls on worlds to see if they are ready to go to the Shadowlands or if they can return to life. The Arbiter is the ultimate psychopomp of the cosmos. When souls are brought to her by the Kyrians, she views their entire life and decides their final destination among the infinite realms of the Shadowlands. The events of the Shadowlands expansion kick off due to the Arbiter being knocked comatose, sending all souls into the Maw. Grimoire of the Shadowlands reveals that Zovaal was the original judge for all souls but eventually rebelled against the orders imposed on him by the First Ones. After he was imprisoned, a portion of his essence was used to create the Arbiter as a replacement.

Psychopomp / int_4f63edbd	comment	The world of Haephnes in Soul Nomad & the World Eaters has a being known as a Master of Death, a god who serves as a psychopomp to gods and humans alike and controls the flow of souls to the afterlife. Souls there go through a cycle of reincarnation, and without a Master of Death, the cycle stagnates as souls are unable to flow freely between life and afterlife. That's their job in theory, at least. Gig certainly made the souls flow, but it was a purely one-way ticket. Soul Nomad also has an inversion known as a Master of Life, the counterpart of the Master of Death. Its job is to see that souls that flow into the world from the afterlife are born properly. The truth behind it all is slightly more complex: The afterlife is another world in itself, called Drazil. Drazil has its own Master of Death and Master of Life, who are minions of the Big Bad. The Big Bad sought to stop the balance of souls in order to make Drazil flourish at the cost of Haephnes. Thus, he makes Drazil's Master of Death stop the souls of Drazil's dead from returning to Haephnes, and arranges for Haephnes' Master of Death to be assassinated so he can't stop souls from flowing from Haephnes to Drazil. Needless to say, this ends up messing up things royally for Haephnes — and then Gig comes along...

Psychopomp / int_50bcf7a6	comment	Homestuck: Aradia deliberately takes on this role after the events of [S]Wake and [S]Cascade, when she appoints herself as a guide to the newly deceased and helps them come to terms with their deaths and the afterlife. Her psychic abilities included communicating with the dead, which she has some influence over (such as getting them to torment Vriska) — but learned quite a bit more from personal experience. Also, considering the details of how Time players tend to operate, they tend to be pretty associated with death anyway. Terezi later explains the trolls' legendary psychopomp, a frightening, inescapable skull-faced demon with a "super foxy handmaiden" doing his bidding. This is a pretty obvious reference to Lord English and the Demoness (aka "The Handmaid"). Dave then points out that psychopomps are a very common mythological theme, and you can expect pretty much every culture to have one (and that it's hardly a shocker that he's a skeleton/skull).

One of the Archetypes, the Advocates, is pretty much devoted to helping ghost resolve their Unfinished Business and allowing them to pass on. Book of The Dead introduced perhaps the biggest in the entire setting: Mictlantecuhtli, the Kerberos of Mictlan, also known as Polydegmon the Collector. He doesn't guide souls per se, but the book mentions how he sees himself as the guardian of the dead. His biggest claim though is how he can retrieve the soul of anyone who has ever died. Not even Deader than Dead, Cessation of Existence, even old age (which is big, considering old age is usually the final death in most other settings) could stop him from doing this. Combined his Geognosis and perfect 15 stats across the board, he might even be one of the mythical Deathlords.

Psychopomp / int_68237790	comment	Pathfinder: Psychopomps are the primary race of True Neutral outsiders and serve Pharasma, Goddess of the Dead, in ensuring that the transition of souls from life to the afterlife works properly and smoothly. They don't generally escort souls to the afterlife — that happens automatically — but serve various roles in easing the process. Shokis, for instance, track down lingering souls to coax them to the afterlife; esoboks and morrignas hunt down the undead and those who would cheat death; memitims and vanths guard departed souls to ward off supernatural predators; catrinas comfort the departed and help them accept their fate; calacas help living mourners come to terms with their losses. Their mortal enemies are the daemons, who seek to devour and destroy souls; sahkils, whose fostering of mortal fear disturbs the progression of the dead into the afterlife; and any and all undead. Some psychopomps are powerful enough to be demigods in their own right, called "psychopomp ushers", and can be taken as a patron deity by divine spellcasters. Alebrijes don't usually serve in this role, but one with a strong connection to a mortal will search for their soul after death and escort it to the Boneyard, protecting it from supernatural predators and helping to ease the shock of their passage into the afterlife.

Aside from Ketrak, the Guide of insects, all of them are preexisting mythological figures, though some, such as Agni (pictured above) and the Moddey-Dhoo, were not psychopomps in the original stories. Antimony first realized their nature when two called on her, as the only person who could see them, to decide which of them one dead child should go with. And in at least one instance, a living human served as a psychopomp for a relative after none of the Guides came to help. This is because the person's life force didn't actually die, but was unintentionally stolen by her daughter, who had to guide her as a final action cementing it..

Death is actually referred to as a Psychopomp in the lyrics of the song of the Halloween 2014 event. Death was given his role as a psychopomp by Guthix after he became the very first human to ever die in Gielinor. According to the game's lore, each planet has its own version of Death and its own underworld. Upon death, a creature's soul is reaped by the Death of the planet they are currently on and then passes to the underworld of whatever planet they consider home.

(As well as her slacker subordinate Komachi, but she is a more specific trope... or two, to be more precise.) Yuyuko is technically a psychopomp too — she can cause death with a thought, but she is extremely responsible with her power, and her happy, cheerful attitude is certainly good for reassuring a moribund person that everything in the afterlife is going to be fine.

Sometimes they don't even know they're doing it! Therefore, summoners- a sort of priest/exorcist combination- are necessary to Send the ghosts on. Summoners are ordinary humans, but they are culturally detached from their communities and usually very wise because they've witnessed so much loss and mourning. It's considered very odd for young people like Yuna to become summoners, and in her case, the choice foreshadows her suicidal tendencies.

They meet again later - with Anubis in his mortal identity of Mr. Jacquel and his partner Thoth as Mr. Ibis.

Psychopomp / int_d616724d	comment	League of Legends Canonically, the game and its universe feature a unique spin on The Grim Reaper archetype by manifesting as two entities, collectively known as Kindred. Eternally bound to one another, one of them represents the gentle, if absolute side of death that grants a peaceful passing should the victim Face Death with Dignity, while the other is a violent predator that eternally chases those trying to run from death until they inevitably lose. They're mainly represented in-game by the Lamb and Wolf, but various cultures in Runeterra have their own regional variants and interpretations, though they're always consistently acknowledged as a dual entity. Semi-canonically, there's also the various spirits in Ionia's mythology represented in the Spirit Blossom skin linenote The myths they're based on canonically exist in-universe, but the champion skins merely symbolize the characters and are otherwise non-canon. In addition to an alternate version of Kindred representing a "Spirit of Death" that brings the dead into the afterlife, there's also The Gatekeeper (represented by Ahri) and The Collector (represented by Thresh) that oversee their journey upon arrival. The Gatekeeper is a "Spirit of Salvation" that leads souls to a gate to eternal rest, but only if they follow her path, while The Collector is a "Demon of Obsession" that lures the fallen away and traps them in their own memories for eternity.

Psychopomp / int_d7c4626a	comment	The Sandman (1989): Several, most prominently Death of the Endless. She's portrayed as a Perky Goth girl who seems to have a deep and abiding affection for just about everyone and everything. It is extremely important to note that none of her siblings call her "Death"; only mortals do. Her actual function is to escort everyone into life and then escort them out. Her siblings simply call her "our elder Sister" (presumably since there is no mortal word for her true function/concept). In his afterword to the Vertigo Comics artists' showcase Death Gallery, Neil Gaiman mentions the inspiration for this portrayal. A Kabbalistic teaching has it that when a person is about to die, the Angel of Death comes to him in the form of a woman so beautiful that his or her soul leaves their body in ecstasy. In the spin-off comic Lucifer the titular character declares himself as a Psychopomp while persuading a demon to allow herself to be killed by him so that she can come back as his servant. It works since she has a huge bone to pick with her current masters.

In the end, Celty is reunited with her head by Shingen, and now with all her memories intact, decides to return to her 'homeland' to fulfill her duties as a dullahan.
