    Alpharius Omegon, also known as the "Aleph Null," "The Hydra," the "Threefold Serpent," "The Final Configuration" and the "Last Primarch," was one of the twenty primarchs created by the Emperor of Mankind in the earliest days of the Imperium of Man, just after the end of the Age of Strife in the 30th Millennium. In truth, Alpharius Omegon was actually a pair of identical twin brothers, one named Alpharius and the other Omegon.
    Of all the primarchs of the Legiones Astartes, Alpharius was without a doubt the most steeped in mystery, legend, contradiction and deliberate falsification. The primarch of the Alpha Legion shrouded himself in mystery, often moving unseen even amongst the ranks of his own Legion.
    However, when the time came to cast off the cloak of misdirection, Alpharius was as awe-inspiring a being as any of his brother primarchs. Clad in armour forged in the manner of some terrifying beast of ancient Terran myth and armed with a fearsome panoply of weapons of unknown provenance, Alpharius bestrode the battlefield like a figure from legend.

    @GoblinWizardry Před 2 lety +1855

    I believe Alpharius is Loyalist, for me that makes the most sense. I believe he was raised by Malcador, that he was actually okay towards humans. I believe Omegon might be a Traitor, the one who met Horus, gained great reactions from Horus. I believe that most of the Alpha Legion do not know the sole purpose of Omegon and Alpharius, and that they secretly work towards both prophecies at the same time. I believe that Dorn killed Omegon, because Omegon was never as trained as Alpharius, never as Stealthy, Alpharius would not have fought Dorn. I believe that some of this, is a lie.

      So... I spent the last hour learning about the Alpha Legion and their primarch/s. And now I have a crackhead theory.
      So, the Canon is that Dorn (who was actually Dorn) killed Alpharius (who was actually Omegon), inspiring Omegon (who was actually Alpharius) to change his name to Alpharius.
      I propose that this is a lie.
      In actual fact, Alpharius and Omegon managed to turn Dorn Traitor by convincing him that he was Omegon (who was actually Alpharius) through a complicated series of deceptions. The three together then convinced Alpharius (who was actually Omegon) that he was Rogal Dorn. Finally, Omegon (who was actually Alpharius) pretended to be Alpharius (who was actually Omegon) and allowed Dorn (who was actually Alpharius (who was actually Omegon)) to kill him, inspiring Omegon (who was actually Alpharius (who was actually Dorn)) to change his name to Alpharius.
      I have no basis for this theory, other than the fact that it seems like the kind of thing Alpharius/Omegon would do because they could.

    The whole Cabal deal reminds me of Kain‘s speech in Soul Reaver 2. Alpharius & Omegon are faced with two bad sides of a coin, destroy Chaos and humanity or let Chaos be victorious. So the twin Primarchs chose bith and neither, locking the Imperium in decay, preventing Chaos from completely winning and preserving humanity, even if the circumstances are horrible. At some point a third option will be possible to free the galaxy of the tyranny of the Gods. Throw a coin often enough and at some point it will land on its edge.

      I'm thinking that there was a civil war inside the Alpha Legion, and the two primarchs split up because they were too evenly matched. Omegon approached Horus and offered his half of the Legion, but did so under the guise of Alpharius.

    I can understand Alpharius having a massive ego, like all his brothers, since the biggest ego is born of true skill and arrogance grows from actual confidence. And really, who's more competent than primarchs? Very VERY few, that's who. I also kind of get him having an ego after pulling the wool over his brothers' eyes, and even getting into a position where he had a very real chance of taking out big E. Add on all that training by uncle Malcador, and I get him having a swelled ego, but as most of them have shown, an excessive ego can be deadly. A few good sparring matches with Leman would be a compelling reminder that he is not untouchable. Also a psycher demo by Magnus.

      So, the Canon is that Dorn (who was actually Dorn) killed Alpharius (who was actually Omegon), inspiring Omegon (who was actually Alpharius) to change his name to Alpharius.
      I propose that this is a lie.
      In actual fact, Alpharius and Omegon managed to turn Dorn Traitor by convincing him that he was Omegon (who was actually Alpharius) through a complicated series of deceptions. The three together then convinced Alpharius (who was actually Omegon) that he was Rogal Dorn. Finally, Omegon (who was actually Alpharius) pretended to be Alpharius (who was actually Omegon) and allowed Dorn (who was actually Alpharius (who was actually Omegon)) to kill him, inspiring Omegon (who was actually Alpharius (who was actually Dorn)) to change his name to Alpharius.

    When I read Head of the Hydra, it didn’t seem to me that Alpharius had an ego, or at least he didn’t have an ego that was greater than the norm for Primarchs. Whenever he talked about how he could have done something but didn’t, it seemed more like he was saying that he didn’t because of his role to stay hidden. It’s like he’s trying to stress how much he puts his duty before anything else, or at least that’s how I read it.
    As for when he says that he does stuff better then his brothers, every primarch says that. It’s rare for one of the Primarchs to think that their siblings had a better approach to warfare.

      Konrad Curze: Is more akin to Batman where he is simply extremely good at hiding in the shadows and being slippery with his movements.
      Alpharius/Omegon: Is able to hide by making themselves look unremarkable to others, using effective disguises, and any helpful tools to blend into their surroundings.
