'''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}}
===History===
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}}
Though initially an unimportant planet, Zahndrekh's successes have turned Gidrim into a 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}}
===Wargear===
In battle, Zahndrekh wields a [[Staff of Light]]{{Fn|3}} identical to [[Nemesor]] [[Setekh (Nemesor)|Setekh]]'s, save for the green light blazing from its power core, in contrast to Setekh’s blue.{{Fn|4c}} He also wields a [[Phase Shifter]].{{Fn|3}}
