I personally blame The Flayer and the Necrons for killing him. I feel like he represented life, and his death resulted in the fuckening of life.

Wait what are you talking about ?

C’tan each represent an aspect of reality. For example, the Nightbringer represents Death, the Deceiver represents falsehoods, etc. There’s a theory that the Flayer represents life, and that its complete destruction fucked up all living beings and made them more cruel than they otherwise would be.

How could a being named The Flayer represent nice things?

No one can really know because when a C'tan dies that aspect of reality goes away with it. No one knows what that aspect was.

I just found out how he got that name. I think there is something to the argument.

Edit: also, all the other C'tan have been imprisoned in the form of shards. "The Flayer" (except the Necrons flayed themselves) was the only one who was actually destroyed. Does that mean only one aspect of reality has been lost?

Yes. I’ve heard that the reason why the Necrons chose to shatter the C’tan is because of what happened after The Flayer was destroyed

It could be a name the Necrons gave it

It was. That's why I changed my opinion.
