'''Crypteks''' are [[Necron]] technological specialists whose purpose is to study the highly advanced and ancient technology of their race. They Their main fields of study include dimensional dissonance, singularity manipulation, atomic transmutation, elemental transmogrification and countless other reason-defying technologies. They are masters of the scientific and technological and in many ways a Cryptek's powers mirror those employed by the [[psyker]]s of other races such as the [[Imperium]] and [[Eldar]]. However they differ in that instead of using a [[mutant]] mind to channel [[Warp]] energies, the Cryptek employs arcane science to harness the universe's fundamental forces.<sup>1</sup>
Crypteks operate in [[List of Cryptek Conclaves|pan-galactic conclaves]], many of which specialize in a particular field of technology. Though they have no official rank in the political structure of a dynasty, they wield incredible influence and often serve in the courts of [[Necron Overlord]]s and [[Necron Lord]]s as close confidants.<sup>2b</sup> The powers of Crypteks are highly sought after by [[Necron Overlord]]s, who will meet whatever demands are made by the Crypteks in exchange for their services.<sup>1</sup>
