Alpharius, Omegon, and the Alpha Legion: Lies Within Lies

Alpharius and Omegon are the twin Primarchs associated with the Alpha Legion, but almost every part of their history is complicated by secrecy, deception, and conflicting accounts. This episode explores the XX Legion’s use of infiltration, covert action, false identities, human operatives, misinformation, and long-term schemes that often made it difficult to determine where its real objectives began or ended. Listeners will learn about the Legion’s unusual relationship with its Primarchs, the Cabal’s attempt to influence Alpha Legion loyalty during the Horus Heresy, and the enduring uncertainty surrounding the motives of individual cells. Even key events involving the deaths or survival of Alpharius and Omegon require careful attention to what different sources actually establish. The episode avoids treating popular memes as confirmed lore and preserves the ambiguity central to the Legion’s identity. In Warhammer 40,000, the Alpha Legion remains dangerous because its enemies can rarely be certain whether they have discovered a conspiracy or merely another layer of it.
