From the description, I would say it could be a higher self, a guardian angel, something along these lines. It could be an ascended master of some sort as well.
As far as the idea that it is death, or grim-reaper like, it is sometimes said that a man's death stalks him through life. Don Juan suggested death stood behind a man's left shoulder. I have had a conversation with my death before, and while it was not confirmed, I felt that it was myself, after I had died and been loosed from the constraint of time and space. It may be something along these lines as well.
Me advice, is to simply continue observing it, interact with it, learn from it. If it means you know harm then it is possible it hasn't explained itself explicitly simply because you do not need to know, or are not supposed to know yet, or because knowing would affect you adversely. Some entities come to us to teach us specific lessons, and some come to teach us something more broad and indefinable, and in either case, they typically know what they are doing, and give us what we need to know to either learn the lesson or ultimately figure it all out ourselves, and there is in that case a great benefit to the process of observing, understanding, and learning the truth of the matter. I didn't understand my first spirit teacher at all for many years, until finally the culmination of all that he had taught me brought me to an experiential understanding through retrospective contemplation, of who and what he was. And that process while long and difficult, ultimately allowed me a great insight into myself and other experiences that were to come afterwards, which I would not have understood if I had simply been told the whole story from the beginning.
