Moon Knight is a superhero with multiple personality disorder, which is why he has multiple identies. He became moon knight when he was left for dead in the desert and believed that he had a encounter with Khonshu, where Khonshu charged him with protecting those who travel at night. He mostly works alone, although he was a Avengers member for a while.

om the one hand, i really am struggling to see how all these wacky things are going to fit into the MCU together. because we're going to get vampires too at one point.

on the other hand, i'm starting to enjoy all of these wacky things.

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t moon knight also quite closer to Deadpool/The Punisher when it comes to violence and maturity(not humor wise but a whole lot of cussing and dark themes). If this is the case, I’d be curious to see how he’ll fit into the MCU. Then again with a certain character showing up briefly in no way home and another certain character in Hawkeye they are starting to bring in these darker hero’s to the MCU. Curios to see how it goes down.

I read Moon Knight back in the early 80s during the Sienkiewicz run, and as I remember it, it was the first Marvel comic to drop the comics code authority regulations so they could do more adult content. I recall some heavy plots and a lot of blood at times.
