== The Unit in [[Dawn of War]] ==

Pariahs were one of the late-game units available to the Necrons in Dawn of War, introduced in Dark Crusade, and one of the most powerful melee units in the game, despite not having damage that's particularly impressive. Instead, they had monstrous amounts of hit-points, extremely fast regeneration and reinforce times, were one of the fastest Necron units, were morale-immune, and had a nasty ability. While their damage was slightly below that of the Grey Knights (bad for a late-game unit but decent in its own right), every hit from a Pariah's warscythe permanently lowered the max HP and movement speed of the afflicted unit. While these effects ended if the Pariah that inflicted them was destroyed, Pariahs could cripple the movement speed of an enemy unit and destroy virtually any opponent, 1-on-1, in short order. Uniquely, Pariahs were also the only Necron unit other than the Necron Lord and Nightbringer to deal decent anti-Daemon damage.

=== Tomas Macabee ===

Tomas Macabee was a Pariah that acted as the "voice" of the [[Necron Lord of Kronus]], essentially acting as the army's herald because none of the Necrons of this edition, [[Necron Lord of All Kaurava|Grandpa Lord]] aside, would communicate with anything more than beeps, clicks, and clanks. Originally, Macabee was an ordinary human, as well as an Archaeology professor that served the [[Tau]] as part of a [[Gue'vesa]] auxiliary unit on [[Kronus]]. Macabee and his team unwittingly awoke the Necrons, breaking the stasis on their tomb complex, and while his entire team was slaughtered, Macabee was captured instead, as he was a [[Blank|Pariah Gene carrier]]. While not especially creative or witty compared to the other commanders, there is a certain amusement to a faction whose sole speaking member simply assures the enemy that they are, indeed, fucked, and going to die.
