Ghaur (pronounced "Gore") is a Marvel Comics supervillain. Created by Peter B. Gillis and Sal Buscema, he first appeared in Eternals (2nd series) #2 (November, 1985).
In the Marvel Universe he is the head of the Deviant race's priesthood. His superhuman powers include the ability to manipulate the minds and actions of any other Deviant whose genetic code is known to him. Since he also has a photographic memory, that effectively means every Deviant in existence, with the sole exception of the Warlord Kro (and possibly Maelstrom, since he is only half Deviant).
In the 1985 / 1986 Eternals vol.2 miniseries he plotted to steal the power of a member of the Celestials ("The Dreaming Celestial") and briefly succeeded.
In the 1989 Atlantis Attacks crossover he, in alliance with the Lemurian super-villainess Llyra, attempted to facilitate the return of the serpent god Set to Earth.
He has since appeared in Avengers #370-371, Heroes for Hire #5-7 (1997), The New Eternals: Apocalypse Now (2000) and Black Panther Vol.3 #26-29 (2001).
