[[Image:Imotekh.jpg|thumb|right|Imotekh Miniature<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}]]'''Imotekh the Stormlord''' is a [[Necron Overlord]] who holds the title of [[Phaeron]] of the powerful [[Sautekh Dynasty]] and commands over eighty [[Necron]] [[Tomb World]]s.<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
==Overview==
When he awoke from the [[Great Sleep]], Imotekh found his [[Tomb World]] of [[Mandragora]] in disarray, torn apart by civil war between lesser [[Necron Lord]]s. Enraged at the anarchy around him, he marshalled his own army and destroyed the chief antagonists, claiming the throne of Mandragora for himself. He has since forbade any infighting within his realm, considering it a waste of time and resources. Since 781.[[M41]]<sup>2-p24</sup> {{Fn|2b}} he has ruled the [[Sautekh Dynasty]], the most powerful of all the [[Necron Dynasty|Necron Dynasties]], with an iron fist and seeks to conquer the [[galaxy]].<sup>2</sup>{{Fn|2d}}
Imotekh is known to be a great strategist, perhaps the most accomplished in the galaxy, and is said to have never been defeated in battle. His campaigns are known to encompass not only single worlds, but entire star systems and whole sectors of space. His impeccable strategies follow logical patterns, indeed, only races that abandon all sense of logic having any hope of defeating him. Amongst the few races capable of such a feat are the [[Ork]]s, who remain a constant thorn in the side of Imotekh. The Stormlord is known to have immense armies at his disposal and is known to requisition thousands of [[Necron Warrior]]s for his war campaigns.<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
In battle, Imotekh is known to use terror as a weapon against his foes, recognizing its effectiveness against the lesser races. He leads his armies from the forefront and personally challenges high-ranking foes in duels of honourable combat. His undefeated reign has marked one critical weakness of the Stormlord , which is he never kills his defeated foe but leaves them wounded but alive in order for them to suffer from the humiliation of defeat.<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
