'''Mephet'ran, the Deceiver''' is a [[C'tan]], a living god of the [[Necron]]s, that survives as fragmented shards.{{Fn|3}}

==History==

The Deceiver, as its name implies, enjoys using trickery, charisma, deception and lies to its own ends.{{Fn|1e}} The other C'tan quickly learned to distrust and shun the Deceiver.{{Fn|1e}} When the [[Necrontyr]] first encountered the Deceiver, it displayed fantastical abilities that made the frail civilization become awe-struck.{{Fn|4}} The Necrontyr gave it the name '''Mephet'ran''', ''The Messenger'' and hoped it would be able to bridge the gap between Necrontyr and C'tan.{{Fn|1f}} As the C'tan began to gather followers amongst the Necrontyr, the Deceiver eventually amassed the greatest following and influence.{{Fn|4}} Despite the power the Deceiver wielded in Necrontyr society some - such as [[Orikan the Diviner]] - still held deep suspicions towards the Star God.{{Fn|4}}
