Prince Khufu is an ancient Egyptian Prince, who along with his wife Shayera and the court magician Teth-Adam reportedly transferred the dangerous Starheart away from the Nile, where it was poisoning the locals. According to the legend, Teth betrayed Khufu, killing him with the Starheart in an attempt to take Shayera as his own wife.
However he was soon after murdered by Shayera in turn, vengeance for killing her beloved husband. Shayera returned to Egypt and ruled as one of the few prominent female Pharaohs, recounted in history as "The Crying Queen" for her immense sadness.
The Starheart was later recovered in the 1930s by one Carter Hall, a renowned archeologist.
