Editing Flayed Ones (section)

===Flayer Kings===
When a Necron Lord is overcome by the Flayer Curse, he retains his intelligence while still being absolute fucknuts. These figures inevitably become seen as leaders by their lesser brethren. Sadly, despite the concept of a Flayed One Lord being introduced in the Fall of Damnos novel which was our first exposure to Newcron lore, they have never received proper models or rules like Destroyer Lords have, the closest being the Court of the Flayer King formation from War Zone Damnos.

A particularly nasty example of one is Unnas the Eater of Gods, from Twice Dead King: Ruin. The Phaeron of the Ithakas Dynasty, Unnas got infected and proceeded to break into the mausoleum of Ithakka (the founder of his dynasty in Necrontyr times), devour his corpse and wear his mummified face as a mask, in his madness believing he had obtained divinity from this horrific act.
* To explain the magnitude of this act, Ithakka is worshipped by his Dynasty to the point that they had a law ''predating Bio-transference'' protecting Ithakka's corpse to the point that even ''looking'' at it is a capital offense, including for royalty. The mummified body was only tended to by canoptek drones or ritually blinded morticians.

In light of the above, even his second son, the caustic and mostly irreverent Oltyx, was horrified by his father's act and abandoned the attempted negotiation to try and kill him for the sacrilege.

Unnas became a weak-minded pawn of his vizier and drove his dynasty into ruin as he sold off the mineral wealth of his kingdom to other dynasties in exchange for shipments of captives. Eventually he was executed by his son Oltyx, having degraded to the point his own Lychguard gave their silent permission to this mercy-killing.
