Another member of the Judges of Death, Death's Crook.
For those of you who don't know... Originally "crook" didn't mean a criminal. A "crook" is a staff that shepards use to manage the sheep that they guard. The hook on the top of the staff was meant for herding strayed sheep by looping the hook around the sheep's neck and guiding them back to the flock. In later years when stage performances were still popular the Shepard's Crook was used for towing a performance act that the audience didn't like off stage, which in a way is near it's original use.
Death's Crook's name comes from two things about him, though. His scythe and his hook grafted hand.
