The Reaper

The Reaper is a deathly entity in the lore of Dota 2.

Description
This mysterious hooded figure has its origins in the afterlife beyond the veil of death. Like the other emblematic powers of the Underscape, the Reaper ushers the dead into their own eternal domain with a swing of its scythe. Depictions of this entity in various art are consistent with its signature hooded cloak and its massive scythe, but the Book of the Dead shows the Reaper having angelic wings.

Like a certain corrupted monk, the Reaper relies on plague and pestilence as its tools for harvesting souls.

Allies
's strong connection to death and decay grants him powers from the Reaper itself. He can summon its scythe to cull the living with a single strike. On the other hand, the dark Reaper follows Necrophos' path with anticipation, its work being left in the wake of the plague mage who is always ready to summon this dark entity.
