Valgûl
Valgûl, also known as Valgûl Twice-Perished[5] and the Fallen Lord, is a Necron Lord who rules over the Tomb World of Drazak, the Bone Kingdom.[1]
On a world populated almost entirely by Flayed Ones, Valgul is somehow immune to the Flayer Virus and is thus the only Necron on Drazak who has retained his senses. When his world runs out of meat for his Flayed Ones subjects, Valgul announces new "Times of Bounty" and launches devastating raids against nearby worlds, intending to harvest gore and blood.[1]
The Sautekh Dynasty's interests amongst the Ghoul Stars include efforts to prevent the expansion of Valgûl's Bone Kingdom into the Eastern Fringe, and is known not to be receptive to Sautekh regents.[2] However, other Necron Lords may call upon Valgûl to perform clean-up operations following battles that leave enemies of the Necrons injured or at a disadvantage.[3]
Valgûl may simply be a title for the Lord of Drazak, given that Oltyx seems to have ultimately taken the mantle for himself. However it is also possible that Oltyx had used the Ghostwind to travel back in time and become the original Valgûl.[4]
