The Grim Reaper, the cloaked specter of death, is a timeless embodiment of inevitability and finality. On the chessboard, this foreboding figure represents the endgame, a powerful presence that signals a turning point in the struggle of power. With each move, the Grim Reaper brings the game closer to its ultimate conclusion, just as death concludes the journeys of mortals.
The Grim Reaper glides across the board with the mysterious ability to pass through pieces as if ethereal, moving up to two squares in any direction but not ending its move on an occupied square. This represents the Reaper's passage through the mortal realm, unaffected by earthly constraints.
The 'Touch of Fate' is the Grim Reaper's dreaded ability. Once per game, the Reaper can claim a piece it could attack on the next turn, removing it from the board without moving. This ability reflects the inescapable fate that the Reaper brings, a single touch that spells doom for those it chooses. This power can change the course of the game, representing the unpredictable nature of fate.
