'''Zahndrekh''' is a [[Necron]] [[Nemesor]] and ruler of the [[Sautekh Dynasty|Sautekh]] [[Tomb World]] of [[Gidrim]]. He is known as a military genius along the [[Eastern Fringe]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}} 

Zahndrekh was born into elite echelon of nobility. He had attended one of the [[Necrontyr]]'s most celebrated military academies, where he met his close confidant and rival [[Setekh (Nemesor)|Setekh]]. 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|4b}}

The [[Great Sleep]] damaged Zahndrekh's 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|4a}}. 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|4c}}. 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, most notably those of his own Royal Court,{{Fn|3}}, believe it wise to remove him from power. Because of this, he has built up formidable defenses around himself. In particular, [[Vargard Obyron]] has been serving him as his personal bodyguard.{{Fn|1}}.

By his campaignsThough initially an unimportant planet, Zahndrekh's successes have turned Gidrim rose from into a small and insignificant planet on the fringes of the galaxy{{Fn|2}}, to the iron-handed governance center of power ruling a dozen star systems. {{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}} It is said that few Nemesors are as lauded for their military strategy as Zahndrekh. A near peerless tactician, his battlefield acumen has won countless wars for the Necrons of the [[Sautekh Dynasty]].{{Fn|5}}
