The salvage merchant Keepsake had a vulture which he kept with him during his space travels. According to Keepsake, the vulture was neither his pet nor tame. He said he only kept it because it reminded him of his wife, but was better looking and better company than her. (COMIC: Keepsake) After Keepsake double-crossed his wife again and gave all his booty to Death's Head, the vulture left Keepsake and flew away with Death's Head. (COMIC: Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling!) Consequently, it lived in the office of Death's Head and Spratt and used to peck at the latter's hand whenever he was trying to answer the phone. (COMIC: Sudden Impact!, Clobberin' Time!)

The vulture followed Spratt from the office, giving him a fright, with him calling it a "draggled bag of bones", and telling it "you are not Death's Head's partner, I am!", moments before Pyra appeared and asked where her Death's Head was. Shortly after, bounty hunter Big Shot arrived, planning to kill Spratt, rather than allow Death's Head to claim the kill. While they were distracted, Spratt and the vulture escaped into DH-II, with Spratt asking where the vulture was when he needed it, suggesting that it was "circling", but Big Shot clung onto the ship as it travelled through time. (COMIC: The Body in Question) After the ship crashed, (COMIC: The Body in Question, The Cast Iron Contract) in New York City, circa 2020, (COMIC: The Cast Iron Contract) Spratt and the vulture left, (COMIC: The Body in Question, The Cast Iron Contract), and the two watched on as Big Shot did battle with Death's Head. (COMIC: The Body in Question)

When looking into "all possible realities", Wiccan saw the vulture, among various other things. Death's Head recalled his earlier encounters with the vulture during a battle with Death's Head IV. (COMIC: Clone Drive) Death's Head II would recall later his encounters with the vulture when forced to reveal his secrets. (COMIC: Synchronicity II)
