Having done a little research of my own, I believe that Alric is a time traveler. The Jericho Reach contains the Hadex Anomaly which affects the passage of time, even trapping derelict ships in stasis. I believe that Alric knows when his brothers are in danger because he has already lived through this period of time. This would explain his extensive knowledge of the Necron Dynasty of Suhbekhar, which has only awakened very recently. The temporal effects from the Hadex Anomaly would also potentially explain the existence of the Watch-Fortress Erioch, which was found upon the arrival of Imperial agents within the Jericho Reach to already be millennia old, yet it clearly fits the design of the Ramilles Class Star-fort. In short the fortress predates humanity in the Jericho Reach.
Further research has uncovered an even more terrifying possibility, that Alric could be a Necron consciousness within the body of Space Marine. Ozkan the Codifier is the lead Cryptek of the Suhbekhar Dynasty who has been secretly using his mastery of Transmogrification to attempt to restore the Necron race to flesh and blood. He has experimented upon many different races, producing many failures of insane monsters said to be far worse even than the Flayed Ones. None have proven to be strong enough to survive the process. He has recently come to the idea that the organic perfection of the Space Marines may be able to survive the transference process.
I like these ideas
Interesting theory, when I First watched the video, my First through was a time traveler.
And let's face it Alpharius as every mysterious bring is getting a little boring
The things the mind comes up, when listening to 40k theories while having a shower. Had the same idea, especially, since Alric seems to be quite familiar with the Necrons, who are known to have their fingers in time-altering technologies. The unwillingness to initially join the deathwatch using warp travel could be an indicator for your Necron-theorie (either come in contact or been necronified) as well. Did he warp-travel at a later date or is he avoiding warp travel at all? If the time-travel theorie proves correct, is is service to the emperor truely eternal or is he altering the timeline already by "fixing" the outcome of engangements?
I think you have it. Time traveler from the future, who has already been through all this...which would imply his past self is a member of the Deathwatch alongside the Alric we know.
It almost always comes down to Xenos fuckery.
At this point literally any mysterious character is Alpharis
Even Cypher?
It's because they're all Alpharious
@@OmniGSage Nope, cause he is Omegon
Known aliases of Alpharius include:

- Sigmar
- Kaldor Draigo
- Horus Lupercal

- Winston Churchill
- Saladin
- Waldo
- Everyone that is not Alpharius
- Definitely not Omegon
Except for Cypher
He's really a bunch of squirrels who learned to pilot terminator armor.
Or the gnomes. Fucking gnomes up to no good i tell ya.
Pack of Squats. 😂
That's the original canon. It was recommend now into a alaric tho
Calling it now: Alric is really an Alpha Legion plant, placed in the Deathwatch to make them think the Necrons actually exist instead of just being Alpha Legion spies disguised as skeletons.

Shhh dont let the deathwatch know
Tau? Short Alpha Legion spies.
Eldar? Pointy eared spies.
Tyranids? Hungry Alpha Legion spies.
Necrons? Dead Alpha Legion spies.
_Humans?_ All Alpha Legion spies.
*CHAOS?* Alpha Legion daemon sympathizers.
*CHAOS GODS?!* *LITERALLY ALPHARIUS’S 4 PERSONALITIES*
Alpharic...
You know too much
My money is on 3 ratlings in a suit of terminator plate.
I initially read this as if ratlings were referring to Skaven and I had a good laugh.
Nah man, 3 squats in a trench coat
@@trevorberryhill2398 3 squats in a trench coat imitating 3 railings in terminator armour
@@talenor849 One of the Lost Primarchs masquerading as an Alpha legion Astartes pretending to be three squats in a trench coat imitating three ratlings in Terminator armour.
No this is Patrick
This guy seems awesome. Anyone that rocks up on a ship in their own unmarked terminator armour is a badass in my books
The idea of a custodies going incognito within the deathwatch sounds like a really interesting theory to me
How in the 9th hell does a Custodes infiltrate anything save a Custodes fun party?
"I see you. Why are you following me?"
"No you don't. I am not. Our paths just happen to coincide."
"Even though I have doubled back several times and have walked thrice the distance to get to this point?"
"Ummmmm...yeah, sure."
"What do you want?"
"To serve the Emperor!"
Groans "Jesus, not one of these psychiatric train wrecks. Emperor fuck me."
"NOBODY TAKES THE EMPEROR'S UHH TITLE IN VAIN!"
"Ohhhhh shit"
CRUNCH SPLAT SQUELCH SQUELCH
"Lords of lotion curse my OCD! I needed him alive. Time for ol' standby...FORGE A PATH OF FIRE AND CARNAGE THAT CAN BE SEEN FROM SPACE TO MY ENEMY'S STRONGHOLD AND RENDER IT TO RUBBLE WITH MY BARE HANDS!"
The lunatic will do it too. He's stomped the dogshit out of a great house suspected of plotting against the Emperor before.
He’s one of the Fallen that *DIDN’T* go renegade and chose to repent that wasn’t going to the nearest Dark Angels recruiting office and signing up
If this was the case, how would he know of this specific inquisitor to ask an audience with?
Deathwatch Grey Knight
When you gotta stomp some chaos xenos
That is literally 3 of my armies.
Khorne Orks, Slaaneshi Harlequins and Tzeentch Tau.
There was a Grey Names Alaric who was the main character of the Ben Counter books.
We all know the real answer is that he's a giant Watcher in the Dark
That explains a lot
Just as dorn is the centurion, the lion is the knight warden
Dark prophetic visions? Definitely a Night Lord!
One of 40K Batman's "Robins"?
My theory is he is from the future. He intentionally or accidentally found himself cast thousands of years into the past. Commandeered a ship calculated a course that would have him arrive on a certain day. Scoured the paint off the armor. An is now living out the historical events he read about or already lived through. He is not changing the past he is the reason events happen the way they are supposed too. His past self might even be one of the Space Marines he has already saved.
If he really thinks he's guided by the Emperor's divine powers, and if he is an Astartes, then it narrows the possible Chapter quite a lot, because not many Chapter see the Emperor as a god or have so much faith in Him as to experience those visions.
Cristobal Valenzuela Could be a loyalists word bearer then
@@jesseberg3271 Totally possible. I think it can be a Fallen. As stated in the DW books (just 1, but don't remember which one), 1 or more Fallen have entered service on the DW for unknown reasons.
@@Sam-bp2st that would be nice and explain their zeal and faith.
Not neccesarily.
Maybe he was just a really religious member of an average chapter.
@@snakeyman5560 Chaplains of an "average Chapter" would not see with good eyes that...
Mindshackle scarabs. Calling it now.
He knows too much about Necrons to not possibly be a servant of theirs.
@patrick howard it's a better reason than "He just knows". And what's not to say that different Dynasties and Crypteks are better at hiding mindshackle scarabs?
For all we know Trazyn could have WANTED the Imperium to find some on Greyfax or Gathering Storm was a piece of sub-par writing and the point is an Imperium Ex Machina because Imperium.
Inquisition: Knight-Warden. How is it you always seem to be in the right place at the perfect time?
Alric: Uhhhhhh... The Emperor protects?
Inquisition: Oh. Carry on then.
Wouldn't his sheer size make him stand out as not being an Astartes? That or he's small for a Custodes.
Isn't terminator armor gigantic though, look at Tyberos
img1.reactor.cc/pics/comment/full/Warhammer-40000-%D1%84%D1%8D%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BC%D1%8B-Carcharodons-Space-Marine-3049371.jpeg
Although My theory of Tyberos is that he is a spin-off the Primaris Space Marine project, engineered for size and strength, much like Alpha Primus is engineered for massive psychic capabilities
@@Will91289 Terminators are larger than Astartes in normal Power Armor but they are not this massive. You can look for size charts, many show the difference quite nicely.
@@araknas3981 from what i have heared Tyberos is a pretty big lad for an Astartes.
Some space marines are larger than others within their chapter.
Some chapters are on average larger than other chapters.
There were members of the Alpha Legion who may have been taller than Alpharius and Omegon.
@@snakeyman5560 there are also very small astertes. There is that one death watch space marine who is the same size as a regular human
It's Omegon getting back in the game
Maybe the Custodes just sent him to take back the guardian spears the Death Watch stole from them but he had to make up a super elaborate back story when they found him drifting through space after a warp drive failure on his ship :3
Best theory
Sweet a new Marine mystery video
The short range nature of his craft indicates that he was sent from a short distance.
It also indicates assistance because he was within the pilot's chair, liklihood of transit over longer distances decreases accuracy exponentially, the time involved seems too great, and he needed assistance of some point getting terminator armor on.
Somebody with significant stealth tech shot him from medium distance, planted the fuel to suggest incorrect distance and inaccuracy, and did so recently enough to ensure that inquisitor was in charge.
I say Eyes of the Emperor plant of a useful latent psychic, like Captain Titus or Sevatar.
Alternate explanation, the Night Warden is loyalist Night Lord.
If he was a custodian then wouldn't his sheer size give the hypothesis more credence?
There are Space Marines of exceptional size, even by Astartes standards, such as the Space Wolf Arjac Rockfist
I imagine he's time displaced and his "visions" are just events he remembered and intervenes in. It would explain his knowledge as being the sum of his experiences in the DW as well.
The opening sentence describes exactly how Grey Knight Justicar Alaric was found after his ‘sojourn’ in the warp.... idk if there was any books about him after the Grey Knight Omnibus, however I just read those books recently and after watching this video I couldn’t come up with anything that says it couldn’t be him... low level psyker, in grey armour alone on a mission after he sorta failed at being a Grey Knight or was perhaps chosen (by The Emperor sure but also a high ranking Inquistor who sees this Grey Knight as more than just a daemonhammer) for a more unique path... even the timeframe fits more or less because ya know WarpStuff... idk, that’s my head canon now
I find it unlikely given that at the end of Hammer of Daemons he had arrived at the Fortress of Belsimar to be debriefed by Inquisitor Nyxos (not to mention the ship Alaric was on had a crew whereas Alric's did not) where it was implied he'd go on to serve in Nyxos's retinue.
40K Theories That is true, and my statement was perhaps too vague. I did not mean that was the ship nor was that the same moment that he was found and brought to the Inquisitorial fortress, I simply meant it was eerily similar. Now true, coincidences do happen and yet Do They? Regardless of all that though, he could indeed be part of or formerly a part of Inquisitor Nyxos’ retinue by performing a mission only he could accomplish... I think it makes perfect sense that an Astartes designed and created to fight Chaos and the Warp, but one who was more intelligent and perhaps a bit more imaginative would be drawn to the only enemies who had true success against Chaos.. Basically this is the story I think could be; Alaric is charged by Nyxos to go get and or learn of Necron tech. When he does this it takes him far from all allies and even without the Warp, Necron tech has been known to mess with time so both time travel or something we don’t know of could have aged him and possibly made him forget who he was. However I think he just is much more human than the average Astartes and so after all his friends are dead or think him dead and perhaps realizing what was coming (Abaddon perhaps?) he simply is going through some mental trauma. I mean the reason Space Marines have no fear is because they are little boys who never grew up, except with super steroids and psycho conditioning that essentially make them weapons and they lose part of their humanity in the process... long post i know and this kind of miscommunication is why I only rarely comment. Besides what’s the saying? Everything’s canon but not everything is true. I personally think that Mad Max is a Perpetual in the Dark Age of Technology and that The Matrix movies happened in 40k and is the reason that A.I. is considered heresy, so what do I know?
I always put him down as a Fire Hawks saved from his chapter before they were lost and became the Legion of the Dammed. His connection to his old chapter allowing him the ability to be drawn towards where he is needed the most. He never removes his armour because he has not completely escaped the curse of his chapter. Oh and he was saved by Inquisitor Valayne Ramaeus, who is a member of the Ordo Chronos (see records of people matching her description being in the Jericho Reach before the Warp Gate opened).
A nice midnight snack, thanks Remleiz!
How did I never know of this awesome character!?
OH YOU TEASE!!!!
This guy is the Grey Knight from Ben Counter's novels
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't those novels canonically set during the events of the 13th Black Crusade? (I.E: after Alric's induction into the Deathwatch)
I was thinking the same thing. Alric / Alaric...hmm, awefully similar...?
@@40KTheories he was in the eye of terror no? Time means little there
Alaric was, yes, before he finally reached the fortress of Belsimar, but remember that _Alric's_ ship by contrast lacked any form of warp capability. To emerge from the Eye without a warp drive is an incredibly difficult and dangerous undertaking, especially if he was the only person (sentient, servitor or otherwise) on the ship.
In addition, to travel from the Eye of Terror to the Jericho Reach where the Watch Fortress of Erioch is located (which is literally at the opposite end of the galaxy) without warp travel would take tens of thousands of years.
Even with taking repeated self induced Sus-an comas into account, it's not only unlikely for even a space marine to survive that long in real space without sustenance (let alone oxygen supplies or maintenance to the life support systems of both his ship and armour) but even if he did miraculously survive, it seems implausible for him to be fully coherent and have his wits about him upon awakening.
But again, at the end of Hammer of Daemons, Alaric (not Alric) reached the fortress of Belsimar and was debriefed by Inquisitor Nyxos
Dude sounds like a BEAST would love a halo style game where you play his story
Of course Alric being a Custodes is absurd. He wears armor.
1. Time-traveling space marine.
2. Some guy who heard the Emperor and went all-out, stealing terminator armor, a ship and going to the Deathwatch for ... reasons.
3. A Necron experiment or someone released from a certain Necron's museum.
(Amazingly unsaid) 4. A loyalist from a traitorous bunch of Space Marines that got freaked out by something revealed to him, and had enough pull and evidence to stay an inquisitor's hand.
5. Alpharius/Omegon/Rumored Triplet Brother of Alpha Legion (will we get a video on the third bro?)
6. Some Astartes ripping off Cypher's style for ... reasons.
A very extremely awesome video as always 40k Theories.
Clearly, he is Alpharius.
But how _could_ he if it is _I_ who is Alpharius?!
Alpharius is one of the shortest primarchs, I think he could possibly pass for a particularly tall space marine
How can that be when I am Alpharius.
@@ninny65 that's exactly how the alpha legion operates within it's own ranks. Also I just realized, primaris Marines are larger than firstborn asartes.... It'll be so much easier for omegon to infiltrate.
@@OmniGSage alpharius and omegon are the same height as their successors, who are taller space marines, but only by a couple feet best. To my knowledge primaris marines dwarf *all* firstborn, renegade and loyal, including the alpha legion, so for omegon to imitate a primaris it would have to be a smaller one.
That or omgalulon breaks out the stilts from Terra's daycare centre
Alric was touched by the Legion of Damned, thus he has insight to what they would know, namely when Astartes need backup or rescue. His armor was equipped by an autonomous system controlled by servitors. Think Iron Man's Armor assembly/disassembly system. It was never used widely due to the overly common knee jerk in the IoM reaction to it being A.I. Heretical, simply because you don't have decaying cyborg zombie slaves running around doing the work.
I like to think he has some being (similar to the watchers in the Dark) that may give him information to where he needed most by his battle brothers and the Imperium.
Or
He is Alpharius
Well all know he's really just 2 Squats hiding inside the armor.
Nothing like 40k theories , enigmatic space marines and lore to finish a good day .
But did Inquisitor Ramius ask Brother Alric for: “One ping only please.”?
I wonder how people would react to the manufacturing of bringing warhammer 40k's armor and weapons to real life. Hmmm
hey remleiz, how about a video about the astartes series? i wonder if you agree with arch on the origin of the spheres or if you have a different theory entirely
Idea for video: Would people knowledgeable about the warp, if they enter the warp, not be gods in the warp? basically they could influence everything around them, does this have something to do with 'psycher' strength?
Being a loyal night lord could be a thing.
No psychic ability yet a Seerer after all
I smell Magnus level warptomfoolrey
"Hey guys what's the problem?" 'Alric?! Where did you come from?!' "I dunno I just showed up"
legion of the damned. a member sent to the deathwatch to aid it in situations that could bloom into threats to the imperium.
Its Justicar Alric of the Grey Knights. He got lost in that exact type of ship after escaping the maelstrom.
That's Alaric, not Alric.
He also, if i recall correctly, escaped the warp before ending up as part of an Inquisitor's retinue at the end of Hammer of Daemons.
@@40KTheories damn you are right... well i have no idea then... maybe hes just cursed?
I'm surprised that an inquisitor would be alive for that long. If it took Alric so long to get there (centuries) then any Inquisitor alive when he left would be dead. Only thing I can think of would be viewing the future to know what inquisitor would be alive there at that time.
I was hoping that he would have been Justicar Alaric from the Ben Counter Grey Knights books. But based on his dealings with the Inquisitor saying he had plans for Alaric. This could also fit the narrative. Grey Knights do have sus an membrane. The time thing that is a little questionable but ships do get sucked into the warp and spat out. Inquisitor Nyxos could have had knowledge of this and selected him for all of this to play out according to a greater plan. This would also account for Alaric's psychic ability.
Given his name, and a lot of the images showing his primary chained to himself, I think he may well be a former Templar, Possibly having been sent back in time somehow via the warp by an inquisitor to prevent something bad from happening, and as such changing the future in the imperiums favour, or possibly having seen the visions that would normally mark him out as an emperors champion, and interpreting them differently to his brothers?
Anybody notice the black templar icon on his flail arm's purity seals? Perhaps that'll give some insight into his origins.
He could be a night lord that could explain the seening preunitions
not heard that music for a while :)
Walks 'The Path of Fate', has powers of prescience, uses highly secretive organisations and clandestine schemes. Whether he knows it or not he clearly serves The Changer of Ways.
Do Custodes have a Su'san membrane or some equivalent? I didn't think they did, which would rule that out as a potential origin for Alric, but I could be misinformed
So. He one of the dark angels who where thrown through space and time, now he's back via warp fuckery but thanks to the fact that the warp is BS he overshot the Horus heresy and landed in the current imperium, so now all he can do is use his knowledge of the future and his fighting prowess to redeem his legion.
How is this even in doubt? He is clearly Alpharius. Just like every single mysterious character in 40K.
I'm thinking he's actually a Grey Knight. Alric and Alaric are very similar. It would explain the Armour, the psychic abilities and the fact that he's pretty tainted after some of his exploits, shipped off or left voluntarily to join the Deathwatch.
He is Alpharius BUT from the future
What is his dark secret?
That he had a pog collection and a Zune before becoming a Space Marine?
Good morning!
There are some Space Marines that have done unknown research into the Necrons, at least according to Fabious Bile. The ones in particular, who encountered Necron space were the 2nd Legion and their Primarch, and while 10k years is beyond the limits of suspended animation, the ability to time travel through the warp is entirely possible especially with the claim of the Emperor's guidance. It's entirely possible that he was a company Captain, or even an honor guard for the 2nd legion who did not [REDACTED] for whatever reason, and the Emperor thought he may be useful in the future. So while he says he has visions of the Emperor, they may be implanted memories to begin with.
The main problem with this theory is the psychic scanning, but if that worked fully he wouldnt be a mystery in the first place.
Mysterious figure...
Shows to help forces of Imperium out of nowhere...
Ladies and Gentlemen... we have Sly Marbo 2.0
Great video!
The last of the pre “apotheosis” legion of the damned? Or is that too much of a stretch?
Booster Gold-like time traveller? He's using historical records to locate key battles and threats.
So Nakai of 40k
I mean It could be alpharius/omegon?
What book is this information from? I’ve just read hammer of Deamons and wanting to continue with Alaric’s story
The Grey Knight Alaric and Blackshield Alric are different characters.
Their names are kinda like the 40K equivalents of Jack and Jake. xD
But Alric's story is in Deathwatch: The Outer Reach.
Anyone knows the song that plays on the background?
Theoretical: he is a custodian eye of the emperor sent on a premeditated and planned out mission to counter the necron threat and maintaining anonymity by hiding in plain siggt as an astartes of the deathwatch. As a cover story He was equipped and placed in a vessel to give the impression of a lone traveller/survivor seeking out the watch.
Practical: ulric is alpharius
I think he is a grey knight and is hiding his psychic power to keep his origin chaper a secret. He came in plain grey terminator armor and says the emperor spoke to him, thats all super grey knight.
Y'know GW has been hinting at a returned primarch for 9th edition, what if it is actually Omegon, who has been loyal this whole time? Possibly there are two Alpha Legions, one loyal, one traitor. If Alpharius is truly dead Omegon could have been hiding, having been declared a traitor, but actually working to stop the traitor Alpha Legion.
Them: It's Alpharius
Me: Doom Slayer Space Marine
More Master Chief esc imo. Doom Guy would have joined The Grey Knights.
Isnt it obvious its alaric of the grey knights?
Given that the Alaric novels (if I recall correctly, though I may be wrong) take place during the events of the 13th Black Crusade, which occured after Alric's induction into the Deathwatch, I'm not so sure. Plus at the end of Hammer of Daemons Alaric arrived at the Inquisitorial Fortress of Belsimar
wouldn't the apothecaries notice that he was not an astartes? unless both custodes and astartes share some basic design
Didn't Omegon have a grey suit of terminator armor?
Posting here before shard of the emperor does.
Nope, I'm late by an hour.
God dammit.
The hole is the Eyes of the Emperor is that the black carapace is different
is alric a son of the emperor that became a astartes? it would make more sense than him being a member of a chapter or legion
Couldn't he be a necron pariah that was at one point extremely loyal and took the armour from a battle field?
From what you said he might be getting help from the Legion of the Damn
can someone tell me what the music is called ive always wondered
yeah me too i can't find it i'll tell you if i find it
Holy crap, we've only been fighting the Necrons for about 500ish years?! I thought they were an old enemy.
They are old...
Imperial Forces tho
I wanted to sleep
Kinda hard for a Custodes to go incognito if they're taller than space marines
why would the custodes deny an ex-member a set of armor if his new mission requires it?
Could he be a loyal alpha legionnaires
1000 Sons loyalist?
Maybe he is a necron who got bio transferred into a space marine.
interrogated by an inquisitor or not, aint it totally crazy that a "best of he best of the best" force so easily accepts somebody washed ashore? Instead of burning the suspicious vessel and its mysterious passenger alike? Better safe than sorry anyone?
There's another called alric and he's a gray Knight gray knights are known for psychic ability and warding that would hide then from other psykers also gray knights work in small groups to single units
In fairness that was Alaric, not Alric ;)
@@40KTheories my bad love the videos btw
It's probably borderline stupid but have any Grey Knights ever joined the Death Watch?
No, Grey Knights are a "Secret" Chapter and specialized on fighting Daemons and traitor Astartes as you surely know...they´d be wrong in the Death Watch, because they don´t really care about Xenos...
He's clearly The Silent King
Er, it's alaric the grey Knight. Pretty obvious. Physic potential but not a full physker. Came out of no where and after his meeting with the inquisitor after his capture and time in the rift he was given a new task.
What if Vulkan lead the Imperium after the War of the Beast?
Alpharius but his betrayal isn't planed for another 50 millennia so hes in disguise until then
Anyone else thought Time Traveler?
Hes cool, all in all
He is Omegon....
He's a necron
