Agatha Harkness (as Agnes O’Connor) and John Collins find a library card for the book with nine dates listed on it on a body they investigate in the woods.

Maximoff are the two most recent owners of the Darkhold, but the names of seven previous owners remain hidden. While some may believe Doctor Strange is one of these names, he is using a version of the Darkhold from an alternate universe, not the one from Earth-616 in the MCU.

The Darkhold in Marvel Comics has had more than 9 owners
The current owner of Marvel Comics’ Darkhold is Scarlet Witch, played by Wanda Maximoff
While there have only been nine owners of the Darkhold in the MCU, in Marvel Comics, many more characters, both heroes and villains, have held this powerful book. Chthon became the first owner of the Darkhold long ago by writing all of his evil deeds and dark knowledge into the Darkhold. Originally, the Darkhold was written in flesh, but it was copied on stone and later on parchment. In the pre-Cataclysm, humanity discovered the Darkhold left by Chthon on Earth, and the book was used by the Darkholders, followers of Thulsa Doom, to turn Varnae into the first vampires.
Since then, the wizard Zura has used the Dark Book, which has since been passed down through generations of Babylonians, Egyptian priests, and Hebrew scholars. In the Middle Ages, the demon Mephisto imprisoned his enemies within the pages of the Dark Book, until the 6th century AD, when the powerful Morgan le Fay acquired the parchments and bound them into a book for the first time. This is what audiences know as the Dark Book. The mystic Mordred seeks the power of the Dark Book, while the saint Brendan fights the darkness and scatters the pages.
In 1149, the monk Aelfric collected the pages of the Dark Book and rewrote the book, and although he was burned at the stake for it, the book came back to life. Paolo Montesi bound a new version of the Dark Book and gave his name to the Montesi formula, a powerful spell that could destroy vampires. In the 17th century, the wizard Cagliostro stole the Dark Book from the Vatican, and later another wizard, Taboo, also possessed the book. Some say that Jack Russell’s father, Gregor Russoff, stole the book from Taboo, which caused him to be cursed to become a werewolf.

The book was subsequently possessed by scientist Miles Blackgar, Jack Russell himself, Father Jocks, and the witch Topaz, before falling into the hands of Doctor Doom. After the Darkhold Dwarves spread the book’s cursed pages throughout the world, Victoria Montesi, a descendant of Paul Montesi, formed the Darkhold Redeemer to save humanity from the evil of the Darkhold. The power of the Darkhold was later harnessed by Cletus Kasady and Carnage, Baron Zemo, and Elsa Bloodstone, before the book eventually fell into the hands of Scarlet Witch, who has owned the book for a total of more than 20 people in Marvel Comics.
What Pluto’s MCU debut means for Agatha Harkness and the Scarlet Witch
The Dark Book of Agatha has been in development, making Chthon’s debut more likely.
Although Chthon’s story has changed slightly in the MCU, according to Wong in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of MadnessIn The Darkhold, his connection to Wanda Maximoff’s Scarlet Witch and the Darkhold is very similar to that in the Marvel Comics. This means that if Chthon makes his live-action debut, the origins of Scarlet Witch’s chaos magic may finally be revealed. In the comics, Chthon cursed Wanda Maximoff with chaos magic, creating a clear and lasting connection between himself and Scarlet Witch that could translate to the MCU.
Before the event WandaVisionIn The Darkhold, Agatha Harkness has held the Darkhold for many years. Agatha has always Expected to reveal more about Agatha Harkness’ history with the Book of the Damned, a popular theory suggests that she sacrificed her son Nicholas Scratch in exchange for the Darkhold.
