Khonshu is the nocturnal "God of the Moon", "God of Vengeance", and the "Shepherd of the Lost". He was described as the "Greatest God of the Great Gods". He represented the Moon, a universal symbol for the redemptive power of insubordination, femininity, and sensitivity. He was the protector of travelers at night and guardian of travelers through time. He was a member of the Heliopolitan race of gods who lived in the extradimensional realm of Celestial Heliopolis adjacent to Earth and was worshipped by the people of Ancient Egypt. Not being able to enter the Earthly plane, he would pick a champion throughout history who would work as an avatar and be guided by his will, the lone warrior would be called the "Moon Knight".
