  In what language is "vol" = "full"? In French, vol = flight or vol = 
  theft (once again, I get a chance to tell the story of the French 
  nobleman who commented on Napoleon's confiscation of noble's 
  estates: "C'est le premier vol de l'aigle": it is the first 
  (flight/theft) of the eagle). This gives us the possibilities:

  Flight from Death (he is striving for immortality)

  Flight of Death (and where he lands, he kills someone)

  Theft from Death (he is stealing immortality/life from death)

  Theft of Death (by killing all those people, he is stealing Death's 
  privilege of ending their lives at the appointed time)
