Top Cow used to have a policy that certain crossovers were to be taken as canon. Which meant that characters like Strange who played a signficant role in Top Cow's stories have an alternate version of themselves living in that universe. Strange bumped into Jackie and co. when he sensed the events of First Born were about to happen. The Darkness's taking over an entire city and possesing hosts all over the globe seems like something that should attract Strange's attention. Which means he might have tried to intervene before Jackie did and got killed for it.

Given the existence of Vampires in the Darkness comics, its not unlikely that the Darkness is tied the abyss mystics of Clan Lasombra. Esticados themselves could very well be an offshoot a family of Lasombra Ghouls with mafia ties....but unlike the rest of the ghouls, they neither want nor need the embrace. Many of Lasombra's disciplines are used by Jackie Esticado and other host of the Darkness., heck one could even think that the Darkness (the entity itself) born of the abyss is actually the soul of the Lasombra Antediluvian....sleep tight kindred.

Melisandre and the Red Priest are not only aware of The Entity known as the Darkness, but they knew it was more trouble than the Shadow Binders could handle....For the Night is Dark and full of terrors indeed.

* A Darkness Side story comic all but confirms this and The Darkness is near identical to the Haunter in the Dark with a little symbolism (Hurt by light, Tri-lobed burning eye is the 3 pairs of eyes, the haunter ends up bound to a host who goes on to change the political landscape (Haunter steered the manhattan project, Jackie took over a country))

The Darkness comics have had previous Lovecraftian influence and given that the dark man is credited as one form of Nyarlathotep and the first recorded Darkness host, it may be that he never was a host but was instead the manifest form. Makes sense that all the info given about the darkness is Abrahamic in origin, since few to no people survive contact with old ones, dependent on setting.
