The entity called Death was connected to the second Resurrection Gauntlet. It manifested itself using Owen Harper as a host after Jack brought him back to life. The physical form was that of a skeleton shrouded in black vapour. Death then tried to complete a cycle it had attempted once before in the middle ages when a young girl, Faith, was resurrected by the glove and brought it into the world in a similar fashion. If Death could kill thirteen people, it could walk the world forever, taking victims at random to feed its rapacious hunger.

The already-dead Owen fought and stalled Death for long enough that it weakened and dissipated.
