-The Darkness might've not known death because maybe "death" is just a title, and only knew the Horseman's name, and not his title. This is currently speculation at this time, of course, but totally plausible.

-When death said he was as old or older than God and that he could and would reap him, that was in Kripke's arc, so it's very likely that, in Kripke's mind, maybe death was older than God. And for people who say "there can't be death without life," that would automatically make death younger than Leviathan, which is absurd.
