    In I think The First Heretic, there is a scene where Lorgar is writing out copies of his book, mentioning he has unique ones for each of his brothers. The one for Alpharius is in two near identical copies, with slight variations between the two. So I always took that as him having known or at least learning after joining Chaos.

    From an excerpt of The Dark, a lost autobiography of Konrad Curze:
    "Alpharius was such a liar, such a multiple personality (all as boring as a Custodes), he had three deaths when I looked at him. One to a giant yellow warrior ignorant of whatever he was trying to spin (later he killed that guy with a mob, leaving only a hand), one to himself betraying himself, and then (fragment ends)."

  • @charleswacker7166

    I can imagine the Lion having a guess, and not having confirmation. From all the Primarchs, the Lion would have an advantage of “I’ve grown up with warpy mindscrew and survived it.” To survive Caliban, his reflexes and instincts would have to have been at the peak of his abilities. Similar to Russ, the Lion is an instinctual apex predator.
    Though in my own head, I could imagine Russ learning over a game of Regicide with Uncle Mal where based on Malcador’s teachings he pieces it together. The look on Malcador’s face at that moment too, with one slightly raised eyebrow and a ‘corner of the lip’ smile to say “I said nothing, and OFFICIALLY confirmed nothing.”

    As for who knew about it? I don't think they actually TOLD anyone, not even Horus, so it would have to be who could DETECT them. Can't argue that Magnus and Russ would have good ways to tell - but I think both would shrug off any anomalies as being THEIR mistakes because those two were so absolutely loyal to the Emperor that they would believe the Emperor would tell them that he created Twin primarchs - and since he DIDN'T tell them, obviously there can't be two Alpharius, so there's some other explanation. The Lion could very well suspect and wouldn't be as blinded by loyalty as Russ and Magnus. I don't think Dorn or Robute would know unless they both were open about killing their brothers, though even with that they might not suspect the existence of Omegon - only that Alpharius had some trick up his sleeve when he fought Dorn and managed to survive to fight Robute. And then they both might think Robute hadn't killed him either, and go looking for Alpharius again... even with both of them being dead.
    Or are they?
    A theory came up on another video about Alpharius and Omegon that I've fallen in love with - Alpharius died during the scattering.
    And TWO Primarchs sprung up after.
    Like the Hydra myth of old, when you cut off one head, two more took its place. That's what happened with Alpharius, and created Omegon. And that "Alpharius" was found on Terra, perhaps the first one found - but the "Alpharius" that was found was not the same "Alpharius" that was created by the Emperor. There was something different, something had... lessened... in him. The infant brought back to the Emperor was slightly less than the infant stolen from the Emperor, and the Emperor didn't know why. No one knew why. He didn't create Twins, and after the first few other Primarchs were found, any idea of Alpharius being split into two was discarded. So until they understood what happened to Alpharius, they couldn't risk announcing that they had found the first of the lost Primarchs. So Alpharius was raised in secret, and it wasn't until his other "half" was found that going public had to happen.
    I've expanded on the theory - I think that when one of the 20th Primarchs dies "incorrectly" (Heracles had to have his assistant cauterize the wounds to keep the Hydra from growing more heads) two more spring up, but they're NOT identical. They're weakened, like the power of a single Primarch now has to be shared between more bodies. That's why Alpharius and Omegon were smaller than their brothers, and potentially why the Alpha Legion were bigger - they were sharing a small amount of the power with their Primarchs via the Geneseed. So when Dorn killed Alpharius - and it WAS Alpharius, and he DID die - two more sprang up in his place at different places and times. (warp shenanigans so there isn't 3 primarchs in the Heresy unaccounted for) Neither of them are perfect copies, some memories are shared some are not, there's slight differences in opinions and attitudes, and they're slightly less powerful than they were before. So now there are THREE Alpha Legion Primarchs, one "Primary" (Omegon) and two "Secondary" (Alpharius 1 and Alpharius 1a). Maybe Robute killed one, maybe not, but upon the three of them meeting one another again (as they are drawn to each other on a metaphysical level), they realized something was very weird about them and they've retreated to figure out what's going on.
    Or more fun AND more GrimDark (how often do Fun and GrimDark belong in the same sentence?), they tried to fight it out to see who would be "Alpharius", couldn't come to a single victor, splintered the Alpha Legion into 3 and have been fighting one another ever since.

    @billyblob6463 Місяць тому +12

    I think Alpharius was the first found and was raised on Terra. If his primarch novel is true, then the whole point of his character is that he lives in the shadows. Alpharius and his legion never got the chance to have glory and honor like the other legions. They were always off the books doing the dirty work (and necessary work) for the imperium. So Horus gets all the acclaim and laurels for being “first found”.

    Lorgar knew ;)
    Edit: As I remember it, Lorgar's two books was mentioned in "Betrayer". After his battle on Armatura and during his long-range call with Horus.

    The whole first found son prophecy focused on Horus may not mean that Alpharius's story about being recovered by the Emperor as a child was a total lie. As a half of one soul. he may not have been technically totally found until Omegon was reunited with him. Horus was also the first found son openly acknowledged by the Emperor himself - that focus by the Emperor may play a lot into the prophecy. It's never a complete lie with Alpharius, there's always a little bit of truth.

    Interesting that Horus doesn't make this list, I kinda figured he was a shoe in for the "must have known" teir. Also I'm still super convinced they're going to retcon Dorn killing Alpharius, there's money to be made selling an Alpharius model for 40K, and there's plenty of room for shenanigans there, especially since it was written before they decided on the pyrotechnics of a Primarchs death

      Hydras regrow their missing heads. No retcon required. Just reveal a hidden power.
      They can power up a normal Astartes to near Primarch levels, (without their special sauce however) using their blood. Perhaps they can posses such a blood fuelled Astartes given enough time for their special soul to enter and possess the new body. Both may need to be killed simultaneously, (or close to simultaneously) for their death to stick.

    "We have come to appreciate that Utopian goals are ultimately counter-intuitive to species survival.
    No power can engender, or force to be engendered, a state of perfection because perfection is an absolute that cannot be attained by an imperfect species.
    It is better to manage and maintain the flaws of man on an ongoing basis. "

    Alpharius and Omegon are alive and they have been protecting the empire ever since the emperor went to sleep.
    Alpharius can switch souls but it didn't mean that his presence left the Alpha marine he switched bodies with...Omegon awoke him after he cloned himself to die infront of Guilliman. Their spies could even be controlling the major institutions in the imperium and several space marine chapters.
    "You are not visible,' Malcador continued. 'You are... you could be... the secret shield. The sword in the darkness. The weapon our enemies do not expect, because their focus will be on us. You will do what you must to preserve what we have built, even without instruction, even if...' He trailed off, and sighed. 'This was not intended to be your destiny, but it is the hand that fate has dealt you. Has dealt us all, in fact."
