Maybe it's the lantern he has, or his connection to spirits of the dead...I dunno, he just reminds me of that

Or the scythe.  The imagery was intentional.

Escre is a god of both, but he also has some reign over death, since one cannot exist without the other.  With its lantern he can give life, and with its scythe it can take it if need be, by removing someone's spirit and then devouring it.  It should be known that while Escre doesn't care too much about struggles in other domains, it is more closely aligned with order than chaos, and if its own domain is disrupted, it is fully prepared to go Grim Reaper.

There's a reason his 'nightwalker' song is so creepy.
