Through Marc, Steven is roped into an array of adventures that includes facing off against the villainous Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke) and a variety of ancient Egyptian beasts.Article continues below advertisement However, often the creatures Steven/Marc is fighting are invisible to everyone else.

When he returns to the museum to check out the damage, he realizes his fight was caught on security tapes and immediately asks to see them. When a nonplussed museum security guard reveals the security tapes, Steven is surprised to see that the jackal doesn't appear, making him look more guilty (and a little mentally worse for the wear). Later, when Steven and Marc are facing off against another jackal, only they can see the creature, much to the dismay of Layla (May Calamawy), who has been trying to help.

Also, during Episode 2, Arthur Harrow mentions he can no longer see Khonsu, as he is not the Moon God's avatar anymore. He can, however, see the jackals, because he is the one sending them after Steven/Marc.Source: Disney Plus Khonsu watches over the scene in 'Moon Knight.'Article continues below advertisement Even those in possession of the mysterious scarab, which is a compass to Ammit's tomb, cannot see the monsters without a deeper mythological connection. So far, the only people who can see the jackal are the avatars of the gods: Arthur and Steven/Marc. It's no secret that Khonsu wants Layla for his own, but whether he will get his way remains to be seen. Until then, it's up to the combined forces of Steven and Marc to keep everyone safe.
