Description
And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

Death is a card of change and transformation. And it is perfect for my Inquisitor because the world, his life and everything around him is in a constant state of flux.
Symbolism:
Traditional symbols for the death card:
Black cloak: usually a flag in traditional depictions, common colour of European mourning.
White rose: apparently purity - death is the ultimate purifier, change often shows things for how they really are
Setting sun: endless cycle of death and rebirth of the sun
Pale horse: not a steel horse, because he isn't a cowboy
Twin towers guarding the sun: something about guarding the ultimate knowledge of the afterlife? Maybe it's some kind of comment on hobbit journeys.
My own symbolism:
The three sets of three: three skulls for three losses beginning each act (Temple of Sacred Ashes, Haven, Adamantine), three arrows for hatred, sorrow and anxiety, and three gems for the body, the mind and spirit.
The pale horse: the Trevelyan noble house
The two towers: the crumbling for the Circle towers and the mage crisis, and the cracked for the Black City and whatever it might hold
The rift in the sky: all those fucking sidequests to close it
The eyes in the rift: Solas is watching u
Top left skull: The impending Qunari conflict
Top right skull: The Dread Wolf cometh
The field: Elysium, promise of peace in the end.
And finally
The hand is in the position of the abhaya mudra which offers reassurance and protection
I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS A LOT
Look, I'm not gonna lie (or omit the truth): Death also fits wonderfully because this guy and the good necromancer Dorian have a wonderful romance (:
