Anrakyr the Traveller: The Visionary Unifier of the Necron Empire
Anrakyr the Traveller, the enigmatic nomad Necron Overlord. This is the first MTG card L J Koh did for the Universes Beyond Warhammer 40k commander set.
The Visionary Leader of the Necrons
Anrakyr the Traveller is a legendary figure among the Necrons in Warhammer 40,000, renowned for his unprecedented independence and grand ambition. Originally the Overlord of Pyrrhia, a once-great Necron world, Anrakyr awoke to a galaxy where his race was fractured and scattered after millennia of slumber. Unlike many of his kin, who focused solely on restoring their own domains, Anrakyr pursued a far more ambitious goal: the unification of the Necron race and the reclamation of their once-mighty galactic empire. His vision set him apart, marking him as the “Traveller” as he embarked on an epic journey to rally his people.
The Mission of the Traveller
Anrakyr’s quest takes him far beyond the confines of traditional Necron tomb worlds, breaking from the rigid territoriality of his peers. He tirelessly searches for dormant tomb worlds, awakening their legions and calling them to his cause. However, his methods often stir controversy among other Necron Overlords. If a dynasty refuses his call, Anrakyr uses his unparalleled mastery of Command Protocols to override their leaders and take control of their armies. This willingness to impose his will for the greater good of unifying the Necrons exemplifies his determination but has also earned him enemies among his own kind.
The Warrior and Tactician
In battle, Anrakyr is as deadly as he is driven. Armed with the Tachyon Arrow, a high-energy weapon capable of devastatingly precise strikes, and the Warscythe, a blade that can cut through almost any material, he is a formidable presence on the battlefield. His tactical brilliance shines as he inspires Necron forces and commandeers enemy war machines with his ability to override systems. Anrakyr’s defiance of tradition and his enduring commitment to uniting his people make him a unique figure among the Necrons. In the ever-shifting tides of the 41st millennium, he stands as a beacon of purpose and power, seeking to restore the Necrons to their ancient supremacy.
