Nephren-Ka. Also known as the Black Pharaoh, the last Egyptian pharaoh of the Third Dynasty. Nephren-Ka began a worship of Nyarlathotep and birthed the ideas that later gave way to the Starry Wisdom that swept through Egypt and the world. In the course of this worship, he acquired the Shining Trapezohedron from merchants of Khem. Once in his possession, he built a dark temple around it, committing sacrifices to the Haunter of the Dark in exchange for the creatureÆs limitless knowledge. It was this exchange that ultimately brought Nephren-KaÆs reign to an end. Such were his deeds that his name was struck from the monuments and other records. So zu finden in der Geschichte The Haunter of the Dark von HPL. In dem Sammelband The Nyarlathotep Cycle findet sich u. a. die Geschichte Curse of the Black Pharaoh von Lin Carter.
