Thoth

"Thoth is an ancient Egyptian deity. In art, he was often depicted as a man with the head of an ibis or a baboon, animals sacred to him. His feminine counterpart was Seshat, and his wife was Ma'at. He was the god of the Moon, wisdom, knowledge, writing, hieroglyphs, science, magic, art and judgment." [Thoth, Wikipedia]

After all references to the Faceless One (Nyarlathotep) were deleted from the sacred manuscripts, some of his attributes were reassigned to milder deities such as Thoth. [ RB Faceless]

The Secret of Sebek/Eyes of the Mummy narrator sensed that animal-headed deities such as Thoth were allegories for actual beast-men. [RB Sebek; Mummy]

Thoth was depicted as one of the seven heads on a silver symbol in the tomb of the Master (1). [ RB Opener]

The Probilski Foundation had a statue of ibis-headed Thoth. [RB Strange]
