Menkaura is a Sorcerer of the Thousand Sons.

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.[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.[3]

Later during the Siege of Terra Menkaura was part of a group which included Magnus, Ahriman, Amon, and Atrahasis that infiltrated the Imperial Palace to recover a lost shard of the Primarch.[4] After learning the Shard was now beyond his reach, Magnus instead sought to kill the Emperor upon the Golden Throne. In the subsequent battle before the Throne the Thousand Sons were confronted by Vulkan, his Draaksward, and the pack of Bodvar Bjarki. During the fight Menakura managed to slay Svafnir Rackwulf but was badly wounded in the process, requiring extensive medical treatment by the Pavoni.[4a]

By the post-Heresy period, Menkaura had become a Daemonic oracle to Ahriman.[2]
