History Characters / Warhammer40000Necrons

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The Silent King wants the Necrons to fight the Tyranids because their campaign to devour all life in the galaxy will deprive the Necrons of any hope of transferring themselves into fleshy bodies if it succeeds. What's more, he want the Necrons to take the brunt of the effort upon themselves, so that the organic species would not feed the Tyranids with their failed attempts.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Szarekh deeply regrets his deal with the C'tan and forcing all the Necrontyr into going through Biotransference, exiling himself out of teh galaxy and trying to atone his mistakes by searching for a cure to Biotransference.

The Necrons were first introduced in a series of ''Magazine/WhiteDwarf'' articles towards the end of 2nd Edition, and made an appearance in the [[GaidenGame spin-off game]] ''TabletopGame/{{Gorkamorka}}'', receiving their first codex during the 3rd Edition of ''Warhammer 40,000''. The 5th Edition ''Codex: Necrons'', released in 2011, revamped the Necrons, giving them more character and downplaying the importance of the C'tan. Their 8th Edition rules were included in ''Codex: Necrons'' released in March 2018. The Necrons were included as the Xenos forces in the 8th Edition campaign box set ''Forgebane'' where they fight against the forces of the Adeptus Mechanicus. 9th Edition saw the Necrons included in the game's starter sets, including the limited edition ''Indomitus'' set, with rules provided in October 2020's ''Codex: Necrons''.

* EvilIsPetty: In WesternAnimation/PariahNexus, considering Szeras' early criticism of the Deathmark's "nominal degree of aberrancy" and when he orders the Deathmark to kill his opponents, to which the Deathmark says he is trying to do so exasperastedly, it's entirely possible he left it to die simply because it gave him sass.

* OmnicidalManiac: Destroyers embody the Necrons' desire to cleanse the galaxy of organic life, even to the microbial level. Most other Necrons find this obsession to be extremely unnerving. For example, in ''Literature/TheInfiniteAndTheDivine'', Trayzn comes across a damaged Destroyer who can only crawl on the ground, and it spends all of its time digging into the dirt for insects to crush with its working arm. Later on, the Destroyer's commander mentions how they are systematically working their way to the planet's ice poles to melt them so that the desalination of the seas will speed up the collapse of the planet's ecosystem.

* WrestlerInAllOfUs: He is revealed to be a rather skilled wrestler in ''The Infinite and the Divine'', where he is forced to grapple with a genestealer that Trayzn loosed upon him. This is due to him having briefly been in training to become an Immortal prior to becoming a Cryptek.

** Trayzn brought a number of Tesseract Labyrinths to Cadia and used them to unleash Imperial forces he'd had in storage for some time.

The dynasty that has been more active and has more territory since waking up, the Sautekh are ruthless in their expansion and will take over planets of rival dynasties to add them to their strength and numbers.

The dynasty of the current Silent King, Szarekh, its name has always changed to fit the name of the current Silent King. The Szarekhan has suffered several sabotages by Eldar assassins or rival dynasties for being the dynasty with the necron who doomed them into an eternity of cold metal. Despite this, they have the best bodies and minds while also having the best supplies of [[AntiMagic the warp-nullifying Blackstone]], making them more resistant to Chaos and their sorcery.

A wealthy but secretive and isolationist dynasty, they have the best riches of the Necron Empire and are all too happy to give some of their wealth in order to appease a dispute or two.

A particularly aggressive dynasty whom before Biotransference, had a war ritual which consisted in bathing themselves in the blood of their enemies. This is reflected in the red color of their warriors, crypteks and royalty.

The Mephrit are a dynasty that specializes on stars, be it their destruction or manipulation. Arrogant of their raw power, the Mephrit plan to unify their forces to take over the galaxy.

The Nephrekhs are obsessed with the stars, even more so than the star-manipulating Mephrits, they see the stars as the ultimate form and their Phaeron seeks to become one like them.

* TheEmpire: While all dynasties are empires on their own right, the Sautekh takes this up to a notch, being the most active of all the dynasties, adding more and more power into their ranks by the minute.

* EliteMooks: Even amongst other Necrons, the Szarekhan Necrons have better bodies and better technology than the rest of the dynasties for being the dynasty that Szarekh is member off.

* TheDreaded: When Trazyn and Orikan were put in a court, Orikan argued witht he judges against his execution, as that would have would have set Imotekh against them. Keep in mind that Imotekh was someone who destroyed an entire dynasty, the Khuvu, well before going through Biotransference, so the judges had very good reasons to be afraid of him.

* TheDreaded: When Trazyn and Orikan were put in a court, Orikan argumented to the judges he couldn't be killed because if the judges killed him, that would have upseted his phaeron and would have sent Imotekh against them. Keep in mind that Imotekh was someone who destroyed an entire dynasty, the Khuvu well before going through Biotransference, so the judges had very good reasons to be afraid of him and not kill Orikan because of it.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: When he woke up thanks to an overlord, he saw the rest of the nobles and lords of the Sautekh court fighting over the throne like savage animals after the death of the previous phaeron during the Great Sleep. Imotekh was appalled at the civil war that happened in Mandragora and killed all of his opponents, taking the throne and becoming the new phaeron of the Sautekh Dynasty.

* EvilIsPetty: In WesternAnimation/PariahNexus, onsidering Szeras' early criticism of the Deathmark's "nominal degree of aberrancy" and when he orders the Deathmark to kill his oponents, to which the Deathmark says he is trying to do so exasperastedly, it's entirely possible he left it to die simply because it gave him sass.
