Anathrosis

Anathrosis of the Black Star is the current Phaeron of the Necron Ogdobekh Dynasty.[1]

Known for her paranoid streak, the Phaeron is suspicious of the Crypteks that form a large part of her court. At all times she surrounds herself with an army of Canoptek constructs and installed a triple-layer backup system into her Tomb Worlds.[1]

Alteration of Gender

While previously identified as male, at some time prior to the destruction of the Ithakas Dynasty's homeworld, after the Great Sleep, Anathrosis' son, Crown Prince Zultanekh mentioned that she was now identified as the Matriarch of the Ogdobekh royal house, where previously she had been identified as the Patriarch. It is notable however, that Anathrosis still maintains use of the masculine dynastic title.[2]

Anatheosis is the only known necron to change their gendered identity. It is unclear what the cause of this change was. Whether it is connected to their recovery following the great sleep (alteration to their personality engrams during hibernation), connected to their renowned paranoia or simply a decision taken following self-reflection or other conscious choice is unknown.
