'''Zahndrekh''' is a [[Necron]] [[Nemesor]] and ruler of the [[SautekhDynasty|Sautekh Dynasty]] [[Tomb World]] of [[Gidrim]]. He has led Gidrim on wars of expansion that have allowed it to conquer a dozen star systems and is known as a military genius along the [[Eastern Fringe]].{{Fn|1}}
Presumably the [[Great Sleep]] damaged his mind. Despite evidence that proves otherwise, he believes that he is still a [[Necrontyr]] of flesh and bone. He thinks he is currently working to crush the rebellions of the [[Wars of Secession]] millions of years ago. He does not see his enemies as [[Orks]], [[Eldar]], or [[Human]]s, but rather as rebellious fellow Necrontyr attempting to usurp the power of the [[Triarch]].{{Fn|1}} He has a strong sense of honour. Evidence of this is the phrase "Will without honour is nothing", which is attributed to him. He also thought using any sort of assassins, such as [[Deathmark]]s, to be distasteful in battle against an honoured foe{{Fn|4}}. He believes that enemy commanders should be captured rather than killed, treating them as respected [[Necrontyr]] leaders.{{Fn|3}} As a result of his anachronistic beliefs and questionable grip on reality, many [[Necron Lord]]s believe it wise to remove him from power. Because of this, he has built up formidable defenses around himself, most notably his personal bodyguard, [[Vargard Obyron]].{{Fn|1}}
