Zarhulash the Potentate is a C'tan.[1a]
Having since been enslaved by the Necrons, a shard of Zarhulash was used to power the Pharos on Sotha. In its conversations with Belisarius Cawl, Zarhulash considers the C'tan the only true gods of the Galaxy. It considers the Chaos Gods mere etheric disturbances, the Machine God to be a lie, and the Emperor to be a weapon. Zarhulash considers the Necrons to be treacherous children who the C'tan will one day take revenge against.[1a]
During Belisarius Cawl's experimentations upon the Pharos, Zarhulash came into contact with the Archmagos and agreed to aid him in removing the heart of the Pharos. In exchange, Cawl agreed to remove his shackles of Living Metal and create a portal with the Pharos to allow him off Sotha. Cawl seemingly agreed, but this was a ruse, as he teleported Zarhulash to the far end of the galaxy, surrounded by hostile Necron tomb worlds. Zarhulash has sworn revenge on Cawl for the act.[1b]
