Just with that name, fans are excited to see that a minor player in the comics would have such a big impact on Moon Knight. Harrow first appeared in the comics in Moon Knight: Fist of Konshu #2 in 1985. A scientist and a Nobel prize candidate for his pain theory research in medicine, it was later found that the study was just a copy of the secret Nazi experiments in Auschwitz. He continued with his research, though, and he abducted people for it.
Just with the inclusion of Harrow, many are speculating that the X-Men may be entering the MCU from hereon, or at least, they would be mentioned, considering that Auschwitz is a pivotal place for one of the most known X-Men characters, the place where Magneto originated.
Some speculations also come around with Dr. Harrow being merged with the famous villain of Moon Knight, the Sun King. Considering that people are worshipping him in some way, it is possible that the series has something in store for him that would shock everyone to their senses.
