Introduction
Mephet'ran more commonly known by his fanciful nicknames such as the Deceiver, the Golden one, Necrons answer to Tzeentch, Cegorach's best drinking buddy and the almighty Golden Six Pack is one of the main C'tan gods with some relevance alongside the Nightbringer and the Void Dragon. He is known as one of the greatest Trolls of Warhammer and is actively trying to compete with Tzeentch and Cegorach on who can pull off the greatest lulz. He alongside the aforementioned two are one of the key players of the Emprah's super psychic cosmic eternal strip poker and is often the one possibly trying to undermine Tzeentch's long term plans on decking the Emprah.
During the War in Heaven he alongside Cegorach sided with each other on creating a plan so dickish and so trollish that it would stand the time for multiple millennial. The plan was to convince the Nightbringer and the Outsider as well as the other C'tan gods that if they ate each other due to their immense powers, they would stand on top as the greatest beings in the galaxy. Of course being the idiots that they are, the other C'tan gods completely fell for it which in turn weakened their forces far enough that the Necrons essentially claimed, "Fuck this" and shattered the remaining C'tan into pieces with an unknown weapon.
The Deceiver, is claimed by some to be shattered alongside his C'tan brothers which he possibly did not intended and possibly spends the remaining of his life being mocked by the giant blue bird and the laughing clown. On the other hand he may have pulled of a dastardly move that possibly fooled everyone into thinking that he was turned into a glorified Pokemon if the various contacts/shenanigans between him and the IoM, Eldar, Blackstone Fortresses, Failbaddon and others are reported as truth. Battlefleet Gothic: Armada seems to hint that his sharding was actually a deception and that he's very much fully functional.
Accomplishments
- Convinced his brother C'tan to eat each others
- Manipulate a society (no mentioning that it was an alien race so probably human) called Silvae into worship him so that they could be turned to necrons. It fails and they were all butchered.
- Secretly manipulating Imperium of Man's hierarchy through shape shifting. A Callidus assassin was sent to kill him but failed. To add insult to injury, the deceiver commented how the Callidus polymorphine drug "gives human essence such a delicate flavouring"
- Gives Abby an awesome demon stick so that not only it will be even harder to SINDRI'ED him, he will continue to be manipulated by the Deceiver.
- Possibly started the Gothic War/12th Black crusade by telling Abby about the Blackstone fortresses while disguised as a crone. This was done to take the powerful warp weapons out of the picture so that they could not be used against the C'tan (like him) in the future while also weakening the Imperium of Man at the same time by having the traitor legions and Imperium bleed each other dry. Further supported by the ending of the Battlefleet Gothic: Armada game, which also gave him his first ever bit of voice acting.
On the Tabletop
When The Deceiver was a model, he was bit weaker in combat than the Nightbringer, but still deadly. Rather than getting into melee, however, his abilities were based on a bunch of illusory tricks that fucked with the enemies' heads, like forcing them to take a pinning test even if they were fearless. Similar to the Nightbringer, the Necron Lord in Soulstorm can turn into a manifestation of the Deceiver. It couldn't dish out nearly as much damage as the Nightbringer, but was still invincible and could do a bunch decieve-y stuff like temporarily take control of an enemy squad or create a fake monolith. The ability shared cooldown timers with the Nightbringer ability, but was considered overpowered regardless.
