The [[Great Sleep]] damaged his mind. Despite evidence that proves otherwise, he believes that he is still a [[Necrontyr]] of flesh and bone working to crush the rebellions of the [[Wars of Secession]] millions of years ago{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}. 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{{Fn|44a}}. In battle against an honoured foe, he is against using any sort of assassins, such as [[Wraith]]s{{Fn|3}} and [[Deathmark]]s{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|44c}}. He believes that enemy commanders should be captured rather than killed{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}, 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}}
== Early Life ==
Zahndrekh was born into elite echelon of nobility. He had attended one of the [[Necrontyr]]'s most celebrated military academies. It was there that he spent what he considers the best days of his life. After winning his commission, he was given an army and sent off to fight separatists in [[Yama]] during the [[Wars of Secession]]. [[Obyron|Varguard Obyron]], already a veteran, was assigned to him during this time. As a reward for his triumph in Yama, he was given the world of [[Gidrim]].{{Fn|44b}}
