Who was Susan's father?
We know that Death was Susan's grand-father, but do we know who Susan's father was, or who her mother was?
shareA long time ago, for unknown reasons, Death adopted a human baby girl, who was abandoned somewhere. When she was 16, Death took on a human apprentice. The two fell in love, and the result was Susan :)
shareThank you for your answer.
Hard to believe that good ole death, callous and uncaring as it is, would become sentimental ages ago and adopt an abandoned girl..............having only seen the film, would that be Death's assistant, the elf, that theoretically would have been Susan's father?
He was the apprentice for Death in the film Hogfather.
What do you think?
No-one knows why Death felt the emotion to adopt her, but he did :) nono, Albert (the old man/elf) was simply Death's butler. Mort, his old assistant, used to be a farmer boy, who met Death at something like a career fair lol, and Death took him on as his apprentice, and Mort sometimes did Death's job. Mort and Ysabelle (Death's daughter) started off hating each other, but fell for each other, and Death went crazy and kicked them both out of his house, and long story short they became a duke and duchess, had Susan and died shortly after :)
If you're interested, another Susan story was adapted, into an animation, which I'm sure is available on amazon. Its called Soul Music, and is based before Hogfather, it explains some of her past :)
Actually I don't think Death is uncaring. He knows he provides people a valuable service and seems to genuinely like humans. In Reaper Man he seems to like the people around him.
I think Death is one of the most popular characters on diskworld because even though socially awkward he is actually one of the most human.
Sometimes, Just Sometimes, the joke's on you.

Death is the Angel who conducts us to the next life. Why should anyone think he is callous and uncaring.
