I wouldn't be so sure of that, as it's already in the lore that voidsent can be rather easily bound by magic anyway - several of the minions are voidsent and we have at least one voidsent mount (aka the ahriman, which it's description text outright says it's "bound by magics guaranteed to never fade"), so the Reaper's familar could easily just be bound by magic too to be just the Reaper's slave essentially. It doesn't need to be overthought quite so much.
