    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.

    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.

      I suspect this was a choice they both agreed on. The prophecies for them never said what would happen if only one become a traitor. I don't think they were lying when they decided to kill Chaos. I suspect O had more interaction with the Alpha Legion, and most of the legion followed him into Chaos.

      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.

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.

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.

Basically a dark Angel successor that has been infiltrated by the Alpha legion, “who’s who, who’s loyal and who are they loyal to?” type deal.

      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.

    Does this mean that Alpharius-Omegon has the same or similar powers to Corvus Corax? They both have the ability to alter other peoples' perception of them; Corax just uses it to make himself invisible, and Alpharius-Omegon uses it to conceal his true nature from others.

      I find the easiest way to think of the three stealthiest Primarchs is like this.

      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.

    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.
