Captain Scarlett, Duncan Macleod, that cheerleader in Heroes - maybe immortality makes you reckless. |
Imagine if, say, Harry Potter died before the last few books. Then those books would be entirely lacking in their titular character. Would it work?
The death of a character is a major dramatic event, and it usually happens (if at all) at the very end of their story. Immortal characters can continue beyond their "deaths", which means you get more dramatic events.
