The Triarch itself consisted of three [[Phaeron]]s and the rulers of individual Necrontyr [[Necron Dynasty|dynasties]] were themselves governed by the Triarch. The head of the Triarch was known as the [[Silent King]], for he addressed his subjects only through the other two Phaerons. Nominally a hereditary position, the short lifespans of the Necrontyr ensured that the title of Silent King passed from one royal dynasty to another many times.{{Fn|1d}} The last Silent King of the Triarch was [[Szarekh]].{{Fn|1a}} During the war against the C'tan, the two other Triarchs were slain.{{Fn|2}}
During the [[Age of the Dark Imperium]], [[Szarekh]] re-established the Triarch with [[Hapthatra|Hapthatra the Radiant]] and [[Mesophet|Mesophet the Shadowed Hand]]. When the three go to battle, they do so atop the [[Dias Dais of Dominion]].{{Fn|3}}
Agents and protectors of the Triarch were known as [[Triarch Praetorian]]s.{{Fn|1b}}
