Lore & Background
Aboard the Campania, Ronald crushes the head of a reanimated woman with his lawnmower-like Death Scythe after Sebastian fails to defeat her by normal means, then attacks Sebastian to prevent the incidents from being written off as the meddling of a demon. As passengers begin to die he departs to reap their souls, complaining about how much work the incident will make for only two Grim Reapers, before Grell Sutcliff joins him. In the film's post-credits scene William T. Spears rescues Ronald and Grell from the shipwreck and scolds them for failing to collect all of the souls.
