[edit] Story
Death is none other than the Grim Reaper, and is a recurring character on Family Guy. When people die, he comes to collect them. He is a mamma's boy who lives with his mother and finds it hard to interact with women. He has asthma, hates the fact that he is dead and that he has no buttocks ("I am minus an ass"). He has also stated that he has lost his gag reflex due to taking part in films he is not proud of (as is evident when he eats a turkey leg off the bone in less than 3 seconds). Death is only responsible for people; when dogs die, it's up to Death's Dog.
Death has met the Griffins several times, usually having interactions with Peter.
On one occasion, in Death Is a Bitch, Death suffered a sprained ankle while trying to chase Peter, and had to rest up at the Griffins'. Concerned that people must not learn that the rules of death were suspended, Death sends Peter to do his work, lending Peter his cloak and scythe. In the meantime, Death stays in the living room wearing a Providence College sweatsuit loaned to him by the Griffins
During Death Lives, Peter helps Death to get a date with Amy, an assistant in a pet store. When they finally get together over a coffee, Death discovers that her views on animals are irritating and boring, so he touches her with the usual results (she falls dead, spilling her coffee, as he calls for the check). Death in return helped Peter out with his relationship with Lois, as he also did in Meet the Quagmires, where he allows Peter to travel back in time to 1984 repeatedly to try and save his marriage with Lois. Death has only showed his face (which is actually a skull, with writhing snakes where his hair ought to be) twice.
In Family Guy Viewer Mail a young Quagmire, in an argument with the young Peter over who was braver, bets Peter is too chicken to laugh Death in the face. Peter does this with extreme confidence, and Death, who is wearing a pro-smoking T-shirt, responds by saying 'Oh. Thanks. Like I don't have enough trouble fitting in'.
