Illuminor Szeras for MTG Universes Beyond – Warhammer 40k Commander Deck.
Illuminor Szeras is one of the most notorious and enigmatic figures within the Necron hierarchy in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. A Cryptek of unparalleled genius and malevolence, Szeras is driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge and a desire to unlock the ultimate secrets of the universe. His expertise in the dark sciences has made him a pivotal figure among the Necron dynasties, particularly in matters of biotransference and enhancement of Necron technology.
Szeras’s origins date back to the ancient times of the Necron race, during the War in Heaven when the Necrontyr transformed themselves into immortal Necrons. As a Cryptek, he was instrumental in the development of the biotransference process, which transferred the souls of the Necrontyr into their undying mechanical bodies. However, this process also came at a great cost, stripping them of their emotions and condemning them to a cold, unfeeling existence.
Driven by a relentless pursuit of perfection, Szeras continuously experiments on both living beings and Necrons alike, seeking to enhance the Necron form and uncover the mysteries of life and death. His gruesome experiments have earned him a reputation for cruelty and have made him feared and respected in equal measure. Szeras’s ultimate goal is to achieve a state of existence where the Necrons can transcend their current form and regain the vitality and sensation they lost during the biotransference.
In battle, Illuminor Szeras is a formidable force, wielding advanced Necron technology and arcane knowledge. He is often accompanied by legions of enhanced Necron warriors, whose capabilities have been augmented by his dark experiments. His presence on the battlefield can turn the tide of war, as he utilizes his arcane abilities to bolster his forces and disrupt his enemies.
Despite his allegiance to the Necron dynasties, Szeras’s true loyalty lies with his own quest for knowledge. This makes him a wild card, as his actions are often driven by his insatiable curiosity rather than any particular loyalty to his overlords. Illuminor Szeras embodies the cold, relentless pursuit of knowledge and the dark, twisted path that such a quest can lead to in the grim darkness of the far future.
