Thanos had come alone, with only Ebony Maw at his side. To be honest, Ebony Maw could be terrifying when he went mad. General Ebony Maw, Proxima Midnight, and the others were brutal and treacherous, at most greedy for power, but Ebony Maw was different from all of them. This guy often did things that harmed others without benefiting himself.
If Death herself had not supported him from behind, Thanos might not have gone as far down the path of courting death as Ebony Maw had. When this man went mad, he could often do unbelievable things. Thanos did not trust him in the slightest; taking Ebony Maw into battle was no better than going himself.
