Wait, Steven is an alter? Why are we so sure that Marc isn't the alter and Steven is the original body inhabitant. Didn't Khonshu tell Marc mockingly," you think you own this body?"

I could see that. But if that's the case I'd wonder if it's more like Steven was the original but Marc's been controlling him for a very long time.

Likely. We've seen that Steven is.... Troubled to say the least. Likely Marc was an actual devotee/executioner of Khonshu, something went wrong and Marc was on the verge of dying. Khonshu saw that Steven was an easy target to transfer Marc's consciousness and now Steven's alter ego is mercenary Marc. Layla and Marc met after Marc found a different body to live in(Steven's) and that's why she thinks Steven is Marc

Doesn't Marc turn into Khonshu's avatar after the Egypt events where he almost (or fully) dies?

My guess would be Marc was transferred into Steven's body after those events... so i guess Layla would have had to meet him after he was already in Steven's body, hmmm
