Qemau

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

Qemau was a Necron Overlord of the Szarekhan Dynasty, who was among its forces that watched over Vertigus II after the world fell to the Xenos.[1a]

He protected the Khalaian Gate spaceport on the conquered Imperial world, when the forces of the Ultramarines later invaded. A small force of the Space Marines then entered the spaceport, in order to gain access to its Astropathic Relay Station and learn how Vertigus II had fallen to the Necrons. Qemau lay in wait for them, with his forces, alongside the insubordinate Skorpekh Lord Tynakht, whose aid the Overlord grudgingly accepted due to the Destroyer's skills as a killer[1a]. The Necron attacked, when the Ultramarines neared the Relay Station and in the battle that followed, Qemau was able to kill the leader of the Space Marines. The Overlord later died at the hands of an Assault Intercessor Sergeant, but his surviving forces were able to defeat the Ultramarines.[1b]
