Rakszan

Rakszan was Phaeron of the Khansu Dynasty during its final days. Beginning as an Ascendent Prince of the Dynasty, he was one of the few of the Khansu which did not oppose the bio-transference that transformed the Necrontyr into the Necrons. As a result, he was rewarded by his C'tan masters with the rank of Phaeron over the Dynasty and led the campaign on behalf of the Triarch and the C'tan that saw the rebellious Khansu Dynasty beaten into submission and forcibly transformed.[1]

Pleased at first, Rakszan eventually came to realize he had made a grievous mistake as the War in Heaven ground on and the warriors of the Khansu Dynasty were increasingly used as cannon fodder. When the revolt against the C'tan led by Szarekh began, few fought as hard against the star gods as Rakszan.[1]

By this time, the Khansu Dynasty was all but destroyed and only Rakszan remained. With no remaining way to atone for his fallen kin, Rakszan swore he would see every surviving C'tan Shard caged so they would never again arise. By M41, he still continues this quest of vengeance.[1]
