'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Sorcerer]] of the [[Thousand Sons]].{{Fn|2}}
===History===
A venerable battle-seer and a member of the [[Corvidae]], he joined with [[Ahriman]]'s party to reclaim the shards of [[Magnus]] during the [[Horus Heresy]]. However after seeing a vision of what will become of Magnus and the Thousand Sons in the future, he became determined to aid the [[Imperial]] party hunting the shards led by [[Dio Promus]] and was willingly captured by them on [[Kamiti Sona]]. On [[Aghoru]], Menkaura sealed a shard of Magnus into the captive [[Lemuel Gaumon]]. He further accompanied Promus' force to [[Nikaea]], where he became trapped in the [[Crystal Labyrinth]] summoned by the rampaging possessed Gaumon. The visions he experienced within the Crystal Labyrinth drove him insane and he clawed out both of his eyes, rejoining Ahriman's cabal afterwards.{{Fn|1}} He next appeared during the [[Solar War]], aiding Ahriman in initiating his ritual aboard [[The Comet]] which allowed for traitor forces to appear directly over [[Luna]].{{Fn|3}}
By the post-Heresy period, Menkaura had become a Daemonic oracle to Ahriman.{{Fn|2}}
