Khonshu

Khonshu is the Egyptian God of the Moon and the Night Sky. Banished by the Ennead Council, he sought to avenge those that had been wronged by evildoers through his Avatars who were known as Moon Knights. Due to the betrayal of Arthur Harrow, his former Avatar who had chosen to follow the goddess Ammit, whose views were different than Khonshu's, Khonshu chose Marc Spector to be his new Avatar. Khonshu planned on preventing Harrow from resurrecting Ammit, but eventually failed despite working with both Spector and Steven Grant. He was briefly imprisoned by the Ennead Council, only to be released later by Layla El-Faouly so he could face Ammit himself. In the aftermath of the defeat of Harrow and Ammit, Spector and Grant believed themselves free of Khonshu, as they were ignorant that another alter inhabiting the same body, Jake Lockley, would carry on Khonshu's will as his Avatar. Khonshu speaks in bold letters. Khonshu is an imperious, sort of snotty, vengeful, and impulsive god who is willing to cross almost any extent to reach his goals of imparting his "real justice" on the realm of Earth, through his avatars. Khonshu is an incredibly manipulative god, especially towards his Avatars, and preys on broken minds like Arthur Harrow's and Marc Spector's, in order to cajole them into imparting his brutal form of justice. His former Avatar, Arthur Harrow, despises Khonshu to such an extent just because of how Khonshu tormented his mind during his time as the Moon Knight. He also takes advantage of Spector's poor mental health to achieve his own aims, such as intentionally hiding the existence of a third alter Jake Lockley from Steven Grant and Marc Spector so that Moon Knight would continue to be his pawn and his Avatar even after Spector and Grant are free from their control. In addition, Khonshu also wants to manipulate Spector's wife Layla El-Faouly into becoming his next Avatar. Initially, Khonshu sees the alter Steven Grant as a "fool" that prevents the mission from being carried out successfully and despises him to some extent, but their relationship gradually improved and Khonshu was willing to release Grant from being his Avatar.

Despite these actions, Khonshu has his more admirable traits. He has his own clear set of ideologies that he will follow under any circumstances. Unlike the other Ennead, he refuses to "abandon" humanity, charging his avatar to protect the innocent and punish those who prey upon them. For all his brutality against the guilty, Khonshu refuses to harm someone who has done no wrong. While he admits that his goals are not so different from Ammit's, Khonshu chooses to oppose her because--his own manipulations aside--Khonshu does respect the choices of others and will only act after a man has committed evil, unlike Ammit who chose to eliminate any chance of committing evil. However, when dealing with sinners who have already done acts of evil, Khonshu tends to use acts of extreme violence and commands his Avatars to severely harm or kill the sinners. His haranguing Spector and Grant to protect the scarab seems to have been motivated by a genuine desire to protect the world from Ammit. Beneath all his manipulations and tantrums, Khonshu is heroic and courageous, willing to put himself on the line. Despite him taking advantage of Spector's mental instability to take him as his Avatar, Khonshu saw him as a friend and helped him by temporarily manipulating the sky, knowing that doing so would result in his imprisonment, and later chose to personally battle Ammit despite the latter being stronger than him. Khonshu also demonstrated some degree of trust in Spector, entrusting him to free him after he was sealed away.

Unlike other Ennead Council members who chose to watch and do nothing, Khonshu stands by the side of humans and is devoted to protecting humankind, albeit in extreme and somewhat radical and unethical ways, which led to him falling out with the Council for many centuries. In this sense, Khonshu can be seen as somewhat a lonely protector of humanity who chooses to stand with his cause and fights for justice on his own, when other Council gods have all given up on humanity, even if it means that it would risk eternal imprisonment. When he agreed to turn back the night sky to help Moon Knight and Layla find the exact location of Ammit's Tomb, Khonshu even lamented that he remembers every night, further consolidating his status as a lonely god who has watched over humanity for so many years and yet still does not give up.
