Gunther Radrexxus is a vaunted and pompous Lord Admiral, who commands the Rogue Trader House Radrexxus, which is part of the Davamir Compact Rogue Trader alliance.[1a]

History

He wears a powdered periwig and is extravagantly dressed, unlike his somber major-domo Maximillian. Gunther is also well known for his love of Narcotics, leaving the Compact's members to wonder how many he is under the influence of, when they see him.[1a]

As Radrexxus and his fleet travel towards Endymica with the rest of the Compact, it is eventually revealed that he was a Genestealer Cultist of the Cult of the Starborne Sons and had orchestrated the murder of his liege, Davos Lamertine.[1b] Davos' son Erastus is able to fight back the Radrexxus Genestealer Cultists just as the forces of Delvetar Astraneus arrive and help the loyalists escape into the Great Rift.[1c]

Gunther was originally thought dead in the final battle, but is revealed to have survived the encounter with Erastus and has crowned himself the Void King of the Umbral Crown.[1d]
