Szarekh

Szarekh, also known as the Silent King, was the last in the line of Silent Kings to lead the ruling Triarch of the ancient Necrontyr empire. It was during his reign that the Necrontyr encountered the C’tan and underwent the grand biotransference process that transformed the Necrontyr into the undying and soulless Necrons. However, the biotransference process that allowed this to happen robbed the Necrontyr species of their souls and it was only afterwards that Szarekh realised the terrible fate he had unleashed upon his people. Embittered by his folly, he betrayed the C’tan after the Old Ones had been defeated in the War in Heaven, shattering them into C’tan Shards and imprisoning them in the arcane extradimensional devices known as Tesseract Labyrinths.
