===The Deceiver after the fall of Cadia===
A powerful shard of the Deceiver managed to assume the identity of [[Omegon]] and to trick the scattered war-bands of the [[Alpha Legion]] to follow his orders. The C'tan took shelter in a former necrontyr world in an uncharted area at the center of the galaxy. Such world was cave and riddled with Necron pylons. The Deceiver aimed at using the Alpha Legion to create more pylons to close the [[Cicatrix Maledictum]] and trick humanity into using the "soulforges" as the Necrontyr did before. The Alpha Legion space marine [[Occam]] the Untrue revealed the true identity of the C'tan and engaged him in battle with forces of Alpha Legion and [[Word Bearers]] possessed space marines. The Deceiver was powerful enough to annihilate most of his enemies and to destroy an orbiting Alpha Legion spaceship that had bombarded him. Finally, Occam used a [[tesseract labyrinth]] to imprison the C'tan shard. The Alpha Legion soldier now plans to question the Deceiver about what he knows regarding the current whereabouts of Omegon. {{Fn|2}}
===Serenade===
Another shard of The Deceiver endured on the world of [[Serenade]], having long since possessed the body of the famed Necron [[Overlord]] [[Nephret]]. Weaving a tale of Nephret's immunity to the Necrontyr's diseases and defying [[biotransference]], in truth the Deceiver possessed Nephret's body as a child and used him as a form of controlled opposition to draw out foes to the C'tan. This Shard was eventually imprisoned beneath Serenade, but by controlling [[Ammunos Dynasty]] proxies such as the [[Cryptek]] [[Vishani]] was able to keep the legend alive in the hopes a treasure hunter of Nephret's tomb could set him free. [[Trazyn the Infinite]] and [[Orikan the Diviner]] were both manipulated into freeing this Shard of the Deciever, which was among the most powerful yet encountered and consisted of 5-6 individual shards.{{Fn|6}} Trazyn was able to transform Orikan into a being of light to defeat the Deciever, and the remains were imprisoned on Trazyn's world of [[Solemnace]]. Trazyn has now begun to trade energy for information from the Deceiver on how to enter the [[Great Rift]].{{Fn|6a}}
