The 'Death' Soul.

Isn't the term itself contradictory?

If soul is the source of all life, how on earth could Nito get one that promotes the very opposite of life i.e. death? Perhaps we should ask ourselves the question what 'death' is, and whether Nito could grant or control it (or both)- in other words, whether he could turn someone into a skeleton and/or reanimate them under his command as well.

One possible answer I have come up with is that death amounts to the leaving of the soul from the body. If that is the case, Nito could capture this departed soul and add it to his own power; and if need be, he could put it again in a temporary medium e.g. a skeleton to do his bidding. It would explain how Nito gains power from death.

But on the other hand, we know that it is possible to be alive even without souls- as a Hollow. Perhaps in a mad, deteriorated and drained-of-souls-and-humanity state, but still alive nonetheless. I would like to know how Nito figures into the concept of the 'Undead' curse, but I guess we can only speculate. Any ideas?
