The first known Warrior of the Moon-god was a nameless priest in the early 27th century B.C.E. during the reign of Pharaoh Djoser. He was a shadowy force in the night, dealing with the corruption in the kingdom at that time. He was to be in the army of Imhotep during the great battle with the Brood in 2620 B.C.E.
With the arrival of Kang the Conqueror, the history of the 3rd Dynasty was threatened. Though the time-traveling Mythic Avengers were able to stop "Rama-Tut" from conquering the ancient world, there were casualties. One of them being the original Warrior of the Moon.The blessing of Khonshu then passed to the great hero Imhotep, who used it to combat the alien Brood and bring the existential threat to an end. Much like the previous history, Imhotep founded a secret society devoted to protecting the world - the Brotherhood of the Eye.
The power of the moon god became part of the secrets protected by the Brotherhood. Every generation or so, Khonshu would choose an avatar on Earth, who would become his Moon Knight. This agent was an important part of the Brotherhood for many centuries.

With the collapse of the Brotherhood, the means to contact Khonshu was lost. It would take the arrival of Marc Spector, to rediscover the ancient temple to the Moon-god. Gravely wounded after being betrayed by his teammate, Marc was left to die in the desert. Coming upon this ancient temple-structure, he collapsed at the foot of the altar and was healed by the moon god.
Becoming the new Fist of Khonshu, Marc returned to the United States to use his powers to clean up New York City. Using the money he earned as a mercenary, as well as selling valuable trinkets given to him by Khonshu for this purpose, he designed a new white costume that both included the motifs of his godly patron, but also those resembling Batman, who served as Specter's inspiration.

After a few years of fighting crime in the Big Apple, he gained the attention of the Dark Knight, who offered him a position within his Batman Incorporated.
