Veshar

Veshar is a fictional character from the *Warhammer 40,000* universe, specifically within the lore of the *Necron* race. As a member of the ancient and godlike Necron civilization, Veshar is notable for his role in the early conflicts against the emerging human race during the Age of Strife. The Necrons, once a dominant interstellar empire, had entered a state of hibernation known as the Sleep, leaving their enemies to rise unchecked. Veshar was among the first Necron warlords to awaken from this slumber to confront the growing human threat.

Veshar’s origins are tied to the Necron’s long history, dating back to the time before the Great Crusade of the Imperium. He was a high-ranking commander in the Necron’s military hierarchy, serving under the guidance of the god-king Khaine, who sought to reclaim their lost dominion over the galaxy. Unlike many of his kind, Veshar retained a degree of humanity in his demeanor, reflecting the Necrons’ original creation by the Old Ones, who had imbued them with a semblance of consciousness and emotion.

During the Age of Strife, Veshar led a fleet of Necron forces to Earth, where he clashed with early human civilizations. His campaigns were marked by brutal efficiency, as the Necrons sought to eradicate the human race before it could grow strong enough to resist their return. Veshar’s actions were part of a broader Necron strategy to suppress potential threats before the full awakening of their empire. His legacy is often discussed in Necron historical texts, though his exact fate remains ambiguous, as the Necrons’ records are fragmented and incomplete.

Veshar’s character embodies the Necrons’ dual nature—both as relentless conquerors and as remnants of a once-great civilization. His story serves as a cautionary tale of the dangers posed by the Necrons’ eventual reawakening, a threat that looms over the galaxy in the 41st millennium. His actions highlight the Necrons’ long-standing enmity toward humanity, a conflict that continues to shape the political landscape of the *Warhammer 40,000* setting.
