Malys- heart of the Deciever?

So Lady Malys is wondering through the webway, when a cloaked figure of light challengers her to a game of intellect betting there own hearts. Malys wins and cuts her own heart out and exchanges it for the figure of light's heart. This gives her powers against psykers and to a certain degree she can tell the future. So, just to see how others feel about this potential fluff-bomb. Is it the Deciever manipulating Malys and potentially steering the course of Commorragh to a state where the C'tan can feast on more Eldar Souls? Or is it something else...

I'll admit I'm not totally up on the new Necron fluff, but isn't the Deceiver kinda smashed up and non-relevant to them now?

Something like that, but the thing about the Deceiver is that he deceives... what if its a way for him to seize power again and he still has a part to play?

Maybe - though why/how would he have a crystal heart. He's pure energy in liquid metal, yes? If we think this is some sort of strange deceit plot I'd tend to lean more towards it being a certain Laughing God then a C'Tan.

Seeing as how the Newcron's C'tans are all shattered and enslaved, I doubt it.

The laughing god thing does make more sense, not up to date with Necrons just thought it would be cool

Yup, pretty sure its Cegorach, the description bears similarities, and it would explain her abilities.

Personally, it's far more likely that it's the Laughing God, as we do know the Harlequins have a "terrifying" plan to save the Eldar species, and Malys has her intentions to overthrow Vect, and 'control' the Dark Eldar.

It is Cegorach, but then again who knows with GW.

As for the Deciever, he is still around, and with the new Cron fluff apearantly the only Ctan still rocking himself at full strength. The only reason they now call his model a "shard of the Deciever" is why would they sculpt a new model when they could re-use an old one

But the new cron fluff is weird, as they reconned all of the old stuff, but left an opening for it to still exist as well... Basically how I can best describe it is that the Deciever and Nightbringer woke the ones that stayed loyal to them first, and now the rest of the Crons are up and moving. They kept it open for the Deciever and Nightbringer to be around.

From Codex: Necrons (5e)
pg 7: "each C'tan was sundered into thousands of fragments"
pg 40: "C'tan shards are all that remain of the once mighty star gods"
pg 40: "there might be four C'tan, four thousand or any number in between"

There might still be some C'tan around (I myself am hoping that the Void Dragon is still lurking around mars) there is no mention of which C'tan, if any, are still whole. There is no mention of the Deceiver or the NIghtbringer (specifically) still being around in their whole form.
