The Death Lord is a lore figure that cannot be found ingame. This page is about his lore.

The Death Lord was one of the higher ranking cultists in the Lunar Cult, however the Moon Lord's control greatly upset him. During the beginning of the production of the Mechs, the Death Lord ran away from the cult to start his own, the Death Cult.

Rise to Power
The Death Lord had made several close friends within the Lunar Cult and they came along with him. Together, they took farmers across the region and took them as slaves for their Death Cult. Eventually after several months of raiding, the Death Cult evacuated underground, to prepare for inevitable war against the Lunar Cult. Once they reached the bottom of the natural world and the start of the underworld, they created a "temple" for their leader. Around the temple several other high ranking Death Cult members had their own houses, and a large chamber was made for meetings in the middle of the cave.

Mechanical Bosses
Since the Lunar Cult was producing the Mech Bosses when he leaved, the Death Lord knew he needed something similar of power to combat the Moon Lord. He created a single machine, the Consumstroyer, based on the Consumer of Planetary Bodies, which the Death Lord was fascinated in. However, with its small size, the cult took way longer to build this machine than the Moon Lord, even with the stolen Destroyer blueprints.

There are rumours that the Death Lord created other mechanical versions of other enemies the Champion faced before the Wall.

Downfall
Eventually after decades of living underground, the Death Cult faced the end, when an army of Lunar Cultists approached the "temple" and murdered everyone in sight. The Death Lord was the only survivor, and lived on for several more decades, surviving by eating and drinking slime. Eventually, he felt a great pain in his stomach and dropped to the ground, after the Player had disposed of his Voodoo Doll.
