'''Rahkoz''' is a [[Necron]] [[Cryptek]] of the [[Suhbekhar Dynasty]].{{Fn|1}}
==Overview==
As court [[Cryptek_#Disciplines of Techno-sorcery|Chronomancer]], it is Rahkoz’s duty to
manipulate milestone historical events, whether past,
present, or future, to the benefit of the Suhbekhar
Dynasty. As the masters of arcane super science and party
to esoteric wisdom granted by the C’tan that would shatter
the minds of lesser beings, the Crypteks are uniquely
positioned to alter the fabric of the universe in ways
only the most accomplished of their number can fully
comprehend. At the height of the War in Heaven, the
[[C'tan]] and the Necron legions bound to their service were
able to unleash such unknowable weapons that the very
fabric of time and space was theirs to shape according
to their will. Though much of this science is still locked
up in sealed stasis chambers or lost with the fragmented C’tan, some of it is returning as the Necrons rise across
the galaxy once more. The Harbinger of Eternity is the
foremost servant of the Suhbekhar Dynasty blessed with
knowledge of this perilous field, and he wields such
power as not even the overlord-regent is fully aware.{{Fn|1}}
Deep within the portions of the [[Hollow Sun]] turned
over to Rahkoz are vast engines within which are
generated forms of power entirely anathema to any
known branch of science. The Chronomancer is said to
be able to manipulate these incomprehensible energies
and to influence events at almost any point in the space-time
continuum, though exactly how, and how efficiently,
remains a secret known only to him. Some of Rahkoz’s
peers suspect he is capable of physically traversing the
abyss of space and time, and of directly interacting in
ways that alter the otherwise unalterable flow of cause
and effect. Others believe this to be impossible, though
even they concede that Rahkoz has the power to observe
past and future events, and that in so doing he must
surely have the power to alter them.{{Fn|1}}
The Chronomancer’s role within the royal court is
to collate the predictions of its astrologer and other
prognosticators and to advise his master on how those
events deemed contrary to the interests of the Suhbekhar
might be avoided or otherwise manipulated. How
effective Rahkoz is cannot easily be judged, for there
can be no evidence that a future calamity has been
averted. Rahkoz makes frequent claims that the galaxy
itself would have ended yesterday were it not for some bold deed he performed, especially when confronted by
a sceptical rival. Nevertheless, the Necrons place great
store in such things, and his position within the dynasty
is for now assured.{{Fn|1}}
Unbeknownst to all but Rahkoz himself, however, is
the fact that the Chronomancer’s powers are not nearly
as total as he would have others believe. Rather, he has
encountered an undercurrent of influence throughout
the Outer Reach that appears interconnected with other
times and places far and near. Key events appear fixed no
matter what influence he might exert upon them, while
he has become ever more certain that one or more others
with a similar vocation to himself are active nearby. To
date, the Court Chronomancer of the Suhbekhar has kept
his concerns to himself, for to admit he is anything other
than omniscient would seriously erode his power and
influence. Growing ever more paranoid, Rahkoz is now
convinced a hidden hand he refers to in barely intelligible
mutters as “the stranger” is working against him, and he
is convinced that a confrontation that will sunder space
and time itself is in the offing.{{Fn|1}}
