==Spooky Story Time==
The Nightbringer is the C'tan most directly responsible for unleashing the Necrons on the galaxy. His feeding on the star in the Necrontyr home system caused the solar radiation output that gave the Necrontyr such short, cancer-ridden lives. This in turn caused their obsession with death and spurred them to colonize other worlds. These interstellar voyages led to the necrontyr encountering the Old Ones, and the disparity in health and lifespans caused the necrontyr to resent the Old Ones and wage war against them. All this led to contact between the C'tan and the necrontyr, and in some accounts the Nightbringer was also the first C'tan discovered. Finally, their hatred of the Old Ones and wanting to escape their sickly biology are the two main reasons the necrontyr leaders accepted the C'tan's offer to be roboticized into the Necrons.

During the War in Heaven, it was the entity that single handedly enforced the concept of the fear of death or at least the Grim Reaper in the 40k Galaxy. The Nightbringer craved worshippers but its followers soon descended into murderous insanity since being in its presence induced horrifying, bloodthirsty visions. He, along with the Outsider, another C'tan, was infamous for being a team killing fucktard during the [[War in Heaven]] after he and the Outsider were tricked by both [[Troll|the Deceiver and Cegorach]] to eat their fellow C'tan brethren in order to gain more power. As you can imagine, things did not go too well for the Necrons and the C'tan during that incident, making the Deceiver one of the [[Fail|biggest walking fuck ups in 40k history]]. Only species that came into existence <s>after</s> before the Nightbringer broke its way into the psyche of all life were spared fear of death. Namely the Orks. Which is why it's awfully interesting humans fear death and have a grim reaper mythos...

Consequently, the Nightbringer, alongside the rest of the C'tan (Save for <s>maybe the Void Dragon and</s> the Outsider), were stabbed in the back by their former slaves, the Necrons, subsequently being turned into fucking Pokemon after getting [[Khaine|blasted into a million pieces]]. You can say all you want, but at least Khaine was treated with dignity and respect by the Eldar after he was shattered by a bajillion pieces unlike the poor C'tan who have turned from one of Warhammer's most sinister forces into [[Pokemon|a fucking joke]]. To be fair though, there are no entities in the entire 40k universe as evil as the C'tan, so they 100% deserved it. Even the Chaos Gods are but reflections of the sapient species of the galaxy twisted into evil by, ironically, all the suffering the C'tan caused. Also despite the crap they can pull in the Materium, they actually give far less of a shit about it than they do about dicking each other over in the Warp. Whereas the C'tan essentially ruined the galaxy for everyone and everything forever because they thought star energy tasted a bit bland.

To give an idea of how low the Nightbringer has fallen, he got basically stared down by [[Uriel Ventris]] who told him to piss off while threatening to blow the both of them up, with the Nightbringer realizing Uriel wasn't afraid to die just to make him suffer (to be fair, the Nightbringer single-handedly slaughtered the story's main villains, most of Uriel's squad, cut off his lieutenant's arm and ruptured Uriel's primary heart). And that was ''prior'' to the sharding retcon; it's only gotten downhill from there.
