Death, as Vidal, met a witch named Agatha Harkness, who learned about her true identity. The two fell deeply in love, with Harkness being responsible for supplying Vidal with many deaths, much to her delight
Death impregnated Agatha Harkness and when she went into labor, Death arrived to collect her son, as he was not supposed to live. Harkness saw Death and told her that she would hate her forever if she took her child away from her. However, despite how much she did not want to do it due to how much it would hurt her love, Death stated that she could only give Harkness more time with her son, before disappearing
After six years, Death returned for Nicholas Scratch, as his time was up. While he was asleep next to Agatha Harkness, Death appeared once Scratch died, silently signaling him to come with her. Scratch got up, but Death told him to say goodbye to his mother first, so Scratch kissed Harkness' forehead. Death then took Scratch's hand and guided him as they walked away
