Yes, Zobek is Death. And I'm pretty sure Carmilla was supposed to be the Succubus.

[Mr. Jack]

Carmilla is not the Succubus, you can see her in MoF

Nope... Carmilla is Carmilla from the previous games.

Yeah, we never actually got to FIGHT Death in LOS1. He was the last remaning Lords of Shadow. Nothing like taking 1000 years to finish the deed, eh Gabriel?

Well he isn't exactly death, as in the grim reaper, as far as I read into it. He just chose to shape his true form in that manner because of the way humans have imagined a personified death to look over the centuries. Him doing this I would imagine partly to strike fear into the hearts of his enemies and partly to rub his own ego. I.E. he is saying "I have such power and mastery over death I might as well be death personified!" But then he gets wooped by Dracula, so......

One thing I wondered about the whole affair is that its pointless to kill Zobek. What should prevent him from coming back like he already did, even if it takes some time for him?

By that logic, killing Satan itself should be impossible too. I expected him to just get up and say something like "Looks like my time has not yet arrived." I mean, he's been around since creation, so you'd think he'd be emotional while "in the moment" but when he realizes he can't take over yet, he should get cold and uncaring. What another millenium to an immortal?

True. He is also "The Lord of Death", so he's as close as there is to a "Death". He chooses to take on that mantle/personification.

Also to be fair, SATAN also gets whooped easily by Dracula, twice, and one of those times was when he was still a mere human.

[Mr. Jack]

well, not a "mere" human, he was the best ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ enraged warrior the brotherhood could have, and he had the power from the lords of shadow. Still, he was a human indeed, and Satan is and always will be his b*tch xD

Zobek always got the shoprt end of the stick, he gets creamed in the first game only to come back in the 2nd game, have his plan ruined, and get creamed because he's one of the easier bosses. (could be on account of upgrades, but I didnt have any trouble with him physically his attacks are weak and easy to dodge and he has 2 add phases to heal off of)

Oh well, sucks to be him.
