Thief of death? That has gotta be something epic.
I imagine a Thief of Death as a misunderstood person with good intentions. To take one's life is to kill them. So to thieve one's death would be like bringing them back to life, right?
On the other hand, thievery and death don't really give off an unintimidating vibe. Also, to take and to thieve are just about synonyms, but thievery is, well, I don't really need to explain the difference to you guys, nor do I need to to present my train of thought toward this idea here more clearly.
ANYway, even though taking one's life has the more neutrally connotative word of the two (take/thieve), it certainly is a more negative concept. Bringing someone back to life is generally a positive thing (unless you toss in a dose of cynicism in which case you get zombies, but let's just stick to the I-brought-my-loved-one-back-to-life-yay view), yet has the negatively connotative thieving. So perhaps it could be a case of it's-too-good-to-be-true— the target is alive, but there is a price. Since thieving is taking something without permission or forcibly, and has to do with gaining ownership, perhaps a Thief of Death could bring them back to life, at the price of, say, total obedience of the target? 'D still be badass.
Is it just me or does that feel like it's describing using... like, if double negatives were two-dimensional shapes, then the way that above chunk of text describes things would be a 3-dimensional shape.
...Does the above metaphor make sense to anyone other than me?
how'm I a knight
Knights protect.
I protect in the sense that I don't take chances with things (or at least not as often as people seem to try to make me); I protect the status/condition/quality that a situation/relationship is. I
guess that works?
I am a knight with the world's lamest knighting technique.
Thief of Earth.
I wonder how that would work. Would I steal topsoil? 
You are obviously a common peasant who steals produce from the crops of strangers just before harvest.
Or a dictator/king/ruler/leader/w/e who invades and conquers foreign lands far and wide.
