A guide to 'Moon Knight's' council of Egyptian gods — and their Marvel backstories

Khonshu suffers the consequences of flexing his powers in the third episode of "Moon Knight," which also introduces a number of Egyptian gods into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Picking up after the events of episode two, the latest installment — titled "The Friendly Type" — sees Marc Spector (Oscar Isaac) at the forefront of the adventure as he tries to track down Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke) with the help of Layla El-Faouly (May Calamawy) and Steven Grant (also Isaac).

In an attempt to prevent Harrow from discovering Ammit's tomb and releasing her into the world, Khonshu (voiced by F. Murray Abraham) seeks intervention from the Ennead — a council of Egyptian gods. But it's clear that these gods don't approve of Khonshu's methods, as he's already been banished for previous actions.
