'''Triarch Praetorian'''s are the former bodyguards and agents of the [[Triarch]], the ruling council of the [[Necrontyr]]. Now, they are [[Necron]] rapid-assault infantry equipped with anti-gravitational packs. They hold a great responsibility - to ensure that the [[Necron Dynasty|Necron dynasties]] never fall. Triarch Praetorians are the only type of Necrons to have remained awake during the long hibernation of the Necron race that took place after the [[War in Heaven (Necron)|War in Heaven]]:¹ they view the outcome of the war as a failure, and they chose to forsake hibernation as penance, preserving what they could of their culture and readying the galaxy for the time when the Necrons rose again to reclaim it.²
