The Wages of Death quest series confirms that Death was indeed an Arisen.

Reading Arthacos's entries in the Monument of Remembrance heavily implies that Arthacos is indeed Death.

How exactly Arthacos assumed the form of the Reaper is unknown.

Barroch suggests that the monsters of Bitterblack Isle are merely fallen Arisen who have been corrupt and transmutated into such horrific beasts. One would think that something of this nature may have changed Arthacos into his current form.
