For three decades, Khonshu's true role in Marc Spector's life was nebulous. Was he actually mentoring Moon Knight or was he nothing more than a figment of Marc's imagination? Only in recent years did it become clear that, not only is Khonshu very real, the moon god has been a part of Marc Spector's life far longer than any one could have imagined.

When Marc started hearing voices as a boy, Khonshu appeared before him. He began moulding him to his liking, believing he would one day become an agent of his divine power.

Because of this, it isn't clear whether Marc developed a mental illness or Khonshu imposed it upon him to make him easier to manipulate as his avatar. But one thing is for sure; Khonshu has been pulling the strings of Marc's life long before he stumbled into the moon god's temple.

In fact, Khonshu claims to have manipulated events in Marc's life to lure him to his temple so he could officially make him his avatar. This means Marc didn't find the temple by chance or fate; it was pure manipulation.
