** Why not? The series is kinda wishy-washy on whether these things were ever human, but if Death was, presumably he was a security guard before becoming a monster. And if not, well, nearly every other creature in the series has clothes, even some of the other bosses. Its just a thing they do for these games.

* How did G survive long enough for James and Gary to find him in HOTD 2? There were zombies crawling all around outside and INSIDE the library. Odds are he should've been killed off pretty fast, especially since we don't see a gun anywhere on him and he's grasping his side in pain. Plus, the first boss insists that G is a lost cause and is implied to have already killed him, but it seems he and the horde simply didn't finish him off, so what's he bragging about?

** Equally plausible is the idea that the Magician was revived and rebuilt purely as a stop-gap measure, possibly as either a temporary guardian or commander of the undead forces while the Emperor was still in development. This explains why the only reconstruction work done on him appears to be metal spines holding his crippled limbs together. Considering he crashes through a window at the top of the DBR building to confront James and Gary, it may be that he was still in the process of being fully "healed" as well and was never meant for an engagement, but impulsively crashed out of his "chamber" and into the courtyard just to fight the agents of the AMS he seems to hate so much.

** Despite our wiki page's current contents (Which probably should be fixed) and the House of the Dead Wiki (Which seems awfully unreliable), there is no direct quote that Sophie is Lisa's mother. At least, not in the game itself. Of course, there's no evidence she isn't. It was probably left intentionally ambiguous.
** As for surviving getting hit by Chariot: Rogen and G could survive getting hit by Chariot twice! More if they found a health pack along the way. What's so odd about it? So she's wounded enough to pass out from the pain. It's not a guarantee of death.

##How can Sophie survive getting hit by Chariot. If she survives, doesn't that lead to the bad ending, where she's a zombie?
