My answer

The angel of death has been brought up in many different religion as the one entity who brings the souls of the dead to their final resting place. Yes, it is covered in eyes, and this is to allow it to see into a person's soul, to see where they will go after death. the angel of death is inpartial, as it is not evil, nor good. it simply is a escort.

The Angel of Death was once Lucifer,and some of his captain's would fulfill this role on his orders.His main goal was to cause a human being to sin against God and then slay them while "in sin" in order to take their soul to Hell.Upon the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ,the "Lord" took from Lucifer the keys of Death and Hell over which Lucifer had the legal authority.Amongst the fallen angels (as in respect to their fall from "God's grace"),there are many angels of death,for the Lord has appointed the time of the death of every human being,and just so,he has death solely under his dominion.

Now,Lucifer acts as role as prosecutor and persecutor of the brethren in Heaven and on Earth...he is usually found before the throne of God accusing those whom live on the earth continually and without cease.Those who are damned and without salvation are sometimes slain by a holy or unholy angel at God's direction,those whom are "saved" are usually taken and escorted by holy angels.

Perhaps a parent or the persons Guardian Angel if this belief is accepted.
