      Near the end of The Flight of the Eisenstein or it may have been in Garro, A Custodes is tasked to work with Garro to over see the reception of refugees vessels entering the sol system. The Custodes is haughty and suspicious of everyone including Garro and shows nothing but contempt. But when he meets a group of World Eater and White Scar Astartes, he remarks positively on the White Scars performance during the Blood Games. It’s the only time he gives anybody credit during the assignment.
      Edit: It is likely this feeling of admiration blinded the Custodes to the fact the White Scar leader was a traitor.

Also my original comment was also to shed light on fact that loyalist Astartes were used in this way, which I think Majorkill overlooked. Edit: I’ve read in First Heretic, the way Custodes viewed the Word Bearers, they had a really low opinion of the entire legion, but ironically Aquillon respected Argel Tal. So yeah, those Custodes certainly can look down on Astartes, but occasionally find grudging respect?

So if these 8 are anywhere comparable to that, well you do the math. Custodians can kill dozens of marines solo, but killing hundreds with a single strike? That's a tier beyond. A daemon that powerful can probably solo kill dozens of Custodes before going down.
      Plus, there's also the unending horde of lesser daemons to deal with.

    Fun related fact: the concept of the blood games actually exists, in real life. The first 'real world equivalent' was the US Navy's Red Cell. The role of Red Cell? They were tasked with finding ways to break into the most secured US government facilities while expending the least amount of effort. Now, there's a thriving security industry, based around physical penetration testing (corporate way of saying 'breaking in to places'). Interesting little history lesson for yall.

Alpharius was trained by Malcador and spent decades (perhaps as much as century) being trained on Earth. Omegon had this same power but it was never trained as well as Alpharius', this is why Dorn could sense Omegon and kill him. I do not believe he could have sensed Alpharius and I am not even sure he could have beaten Alpharius either. I am not real versed on all things Corvus, but would love to see a breakdown between the two.

If Corvax can make people forget his presence, Alpharius can make his presence vanish
      His 2nd power is also broken because by manipulating his presence with the warp he influences their perception of him, meaning he can litteraly look like an innocent man and no one will suspect him.

But in Alpharius: Head of the Hydra (which was released after Birth of the Imperium) it is clearly stated that Alpharius motivated the Blood Games. There is alot of conflicting lore in 40k, the Blood Games is just a tiny portion of what irritates me.

If I had to guess, that moment that when Russ got the message from the Emperor and took off was connected to Valdor taking off to do his mission.
