The description of the bright candlelit room is the answer. The others are from other books such as "Guards! Guards!" and "Maskerade".

Answer: Lezek

Lezek is his father; it is revealed at the start.

3. Mort and Death visit Curry Gardens.

True, they both visit Curry Gardens on the way to Death's Domain. Death mentions that he could murder a curry - quite ironic if you think about it.

Ysabell is Death's adoptive daughter. She was found on his rounds and he adopted her. She is really thirty something rather than a young lady.

5. Does time pass in Death's Domain?
