Alpharius: "Hey Omegon, I just had a hilarious idea." Omegon: "Lay it on me brother." Alpharius: "We're twins right?" Omegon: "Yeah." Alpharius: "And no one knows that we're twins right? Especially not that idiot Rogal Dorn, he can't even read." Omegon: "He builds a mean highway though." Alpharius: "So here's what we'll do; you start calling yourself Alpharius and I'll start calling myself Omegon." Omegon: "Some mindfuckery, I love it. By the way, some of our boys have been making themselves look like us." ~Alpharius, Head of the Hydra by Mike Brooks.
Sadly, BL copped out and kept Dorn as the worst character in the history of literature. He will ascend as the Chaos God of boringness, and weaponize infuriating uninterestingness clad in flavorless vanilla.
I've made this comment before and I'm gonna make it again: This channel is criminally undersubbed. The amount of passion and effort put into literally every video is amazing. Keep em coming AK.
21:00 is such a great Rogal Dorn moment. He used to be such a boring character, a sort of Guilliman clone. But here we see that Rogal, despite being antithetical to the methods of the Alpha Legion, does understand perfectly how, if not why, the Hydra operates. I’ve long believed that Alpharius and not Omegon was the loyalist half of the Alpha Legion. And Alpharius was either instructed to by the Emperor or formulated a plan himself to prevent the outcome of the Heresy. And it was fitting that the man he would have to convince is possibly the only man he could not ever convince. That’s why Alpharius chose to meet a raging Rogal Dorn in a manner that was all to Dorn’s strengths and absolutely not to his own. The only chance Alpharius had was to meet Rogal Dorn in the way Dorn would never expect Alpharius to do. It wasn’t enough, and whatever it was that Alpharius was doing, knew, or had planned, it died with him.
Maybe neither, there is that scene in the prior book where Dorn can't distinguish between Alpharius, Omegon, or the blood augmented space marine. All 3 heads of the hydra are in the throne room and Dorn picks Omegon as his brother, but he can't even tell there are 2 primarchs there. That test set up this fight.
The GREATEST LIE about the Alpha Legion told is that they even had a primarch at all. Lost, like all the others, the primarch for the 20th was. But in the search...he was never located. Rather than live perpetually in the shadows of the other legions, the 20th BECAME Alpharius. Each individually, with the limited use of residual genetic material from their father, could step forward and lead as needed. So, when others encountered this 'primarch stand in, they were none the wiser because it was the body double they most engsged with. In the end, no matter how many were slain, when someone steps forward from this legion and stated "I AM Alpharius"...it is the literal truth. And the only one that will ever be uttered from the lips of the Hydra.
Would love it if Alpharius knew he could not persuade Omegon from siding with the traitors and made the ultimate sacrifice by betraying his twin and putting him in the path of Dorn. Cut to 40k, Dorn is imprisoned and Alpharius after struggling with the guilt of killing his twin and hiding in the shadows for years breaks Dorn free. Bit soppy I know but tying together their return to the setting would be amazing
This was fantastic! New sub You really captured the tragedy in this tale. When I read the book, my brain had me as a Bro of Dorn, but I missed the emotion of the moment the first time around. it took a second read to see it this way
Yes!!! thanks for all your hard work! This is great and I'll def be listening to this as i drift off to sleep the next few nights! Really great topic to cover!
The king is back.. he know what we want what we need to sleep. thank you, and this is just in time its 11:47pm was setting up to sleep now cant w8 for more long format videos some Eldar maybe ?
Out of ALL the lore channels this is the one I come back to time and again and the only one where I can listen to a whole 2 hour long video without cringing at jokes or memes The voice acting is perfect and I have recommended your channel to all my friends as others have said you deserve all the views and subs and likes and money for the 10/10 lore and performance
"I stand for the Emperor, In all things, I am loyal to Him, and I cannot break that bond. He has many great ambitions, and the noblest of intentions, but I know that above all else, He is determined to stand firm against the rise of Chaos. He has always known the truth of it. The overthrow of the Primordial Annihilator is His greatest wish. So what I do...from this moment on, I will do for the Emperor." - Alpharius, Primarch of the Alpha Legion XX Legiones Astartes
Alpharius lives! As for omegon, he didnt know his brothers well so he tryd to reason with Dorn out of all people, so obviousl didnt end up well for him :3
Alpharius was a assassin, spy, and master manipulator, but he was lacking warrior, general, and brother, which he is remembered as nothing more than a liar and weakling to the Imperium and Traitors alike.
21:09 i remember getting chills when i heard that part in the audiobook. Another moment proving that Rogal was an S tier Primarch in terms of tactical competency
Dorn's bodycount during Heresy is actually pretty damn impressive. Killed Alpharius One punch KOed Kharn Smacked Fulgrim around Pissing the sh*t out of Khorne just by talking Damn...
@@AlternicityBlogspotI mean so did Sanguinius but everyone’s still blowing his dead ass even after the last book had Horus all but use the poor bastard as a fleshlight during their battle.
I think what actually happened is that Dorn wasn't there at all. It was really just Alpharious and Omegon fighting with one of them disguised as Dorn for reasons, and then killing one of them off. Cuz they love it when a plan comes together. It's either that or there was never a twin and Alpharius was just using his Primarch speed to look like two people standing side by side.
Spoiler for volume 2 end of death On the vengeful spirit Horus has layed a trap for khorne to try’s to turn Dorn, obviously direct conflict would not work so instead Dorn is trapped for centuries in a desert slowly forgetting everything about him all the while khorne offers escape if he submits slowly enciting Dorn to accept only true freedom will be if he gives in and accepts blood is for the blood god . Now keep in mind the vengeful spirit is a hyper focused point in which the warp overlaps with real space and the 4 powers of chaos are putting most of their focus here at the moment meaning the majority of khorne is most likely trying to tempt Dorn and is laying siege to dorns mind. 7:53 Dorn forgets the majority of who he is but one thing he remembers well is not even his name but his knowledge of literature he has read, he recites this in reponce to khorne temptations …every piece of analytical data, strategy and even historic record he knows he literally frustrates khorne, educates him, rejects him and bores him in the process😂 all while staying resolute. In a way it’s like a bit of tts Dorn is present in the moment where the might of the blood god tried its best to turn Dorn and he basicallly just says *NO* and while basically half crazed with dementia. Then eventually finds a weakness and escapes. I think any of the loyalist would of also not given in but the manner in which dorn fights khorne is so unique and don’t know how many would genuinely be able to find a way to frustrate khorne to the point that in a way he is the one trapped in there with them
Alpharius: "Hey bro, we just took a world at a minimum loss" Dorne :NoOoOo, We NeED oPeN wAr ThAt WiLL cOsT tHouSaNdS" Bro, chill out, you think an Aestartes massacre would not generate any resentment at all?
@@Ninja40K thats exactly what they want you to think! I bet they're still alive somewhere. On a more real life point, I think we can be pretty sure that GW will find/construct a way to get all 18 primarchs back in the main narrative somehow. Even the dead ones.
@@similaritiesendherewhich I GUESS tells us that Omegon is the one that lives,since Alpharius was pretty egoistical and had that "everyone except me sucks" attitude in his primarch book
@@petrrozsival8554 What it tells us is that despite all of Alpha Legion's subterfuge, humanity can still tell the difference between an asshole and a much bigger asshole.
Kinda wish alpharius was better explored and handled... Its a character with such a great potential, but 50% of the content written about him is unreliable and the other 50% is him being reduced to an arrogant prick whose sole purpuse is to be outsmarted just to show how much sharpwitted someone else is.

I still believe that Omegon died by Dorns hand and Alpharius lives.
A name is just a name, another tool to be used and discarded.

No wonder Khorne was so eager to have Dorn

New person here... need more of these sleep videos, please 🙏
I slept well during the part where Rogal rips out Alpharius's spine and uses it as a whip 🥰
Keep up the good work Brother 👍👍🔥🔥 1:29
Nice flashback to your original intro music.
how to make a 10 min video last an hour , speak like you had a stroke
"I do not trust anyone who only speaks the truth." Wow. How f*cked is that ?
I think ive gotten 2 amber king and 2 tarnished archeologist videos in two weeks its like xmas is already here
I listen to both these channels also.
Your probably a Cool guy haha
Dorn's bodycount during Heresy is actually pretty damn impressive.
Killed Alpharius
One punch KOed Kharn
Smacked Fulgrim around
Pissing the sh*t out of Khorne just by talking
Damn...
But he was the Praetorian, and failed to defend his father.

See Rogal!! Yoi cant win! My plans to perfect!
Dorn: he he storms teeth go brrrrr

Omegon is my favourite. I believe Alpharius turned traitor and Omegon wanted to dismantle the Cabal and side with The Emperor.
