In our continuing saga of Warhammer 40,000, we delve into the thrilling and mysterious world of the Alpha Legion and their enigmatic leader, Alpharius.
Picture this: a titanic space battle raging on, where the tide is swayed by the arrival of Rogal Dorn, leading a formidable fleet of the Imperial Fists. The Petorian, seeking retribution for earlier humiliations, are suddenly given a glimmer of hope. Yet, the grand space battle that unfolds is unable to bring the desired vengeance for the Petorian.
Enter Alpharius, leading his Husars in a daring attack. A duel ensues between Alpharius and the one believed to be the true Alarus. The clash is breathtaking, Storm’s Teeth chainsword meeting blade in the chaotic dance of war. For a moment, it seemed Alarus was on the verge of dealing a fatal blow to his brother. But, as fate would have it, the intervention of a Husar distracts the Primarch just long enough for the tables to turn, and Alarius’s hands are severed by the Petorian.
In a twist of poetic justice, Alarius is impaled by his own weapon, the Pale Spear, and then beheaded with a swift strike of his brother’s sword. The warrior who fell on Pluto that fateful day was believed to be Alarus, but the truth remains shrouded in mystery. In an intriguing twist, Omegan, Alarus’s twin, reportedly felt the death of his sibling after establishing a connection with Horus.
In the aftermath of the battle, the surviving Primarch, Alpharius, takes control of the 20th Legion and reports the situation in the solar system to Horus. Following this, the Alpha Legion, true to its enigmatic nature, engages in puzzling operations with ambiguous outcomes.
After the Heresy, the Alpha Legion didn’t retreat to the Eye of Terror like the rest of the traitor forces. Instead, they ventured into the galactic East. Their plans remain unknown, but a clash with the Ultramarines on the planet of Escador ensues.
Alpharius, underestimating the Ultramarines and their leader, Guilliman, makes a crucial mistake which leads to his downfall. However, in a personal confrontation, Guilliman manages to defeat his brother and inflict a fatal wound on him.
Despite losing their Primarch, the Alpha Legion inflicts serious damage on the Ultramarines, who continued to bombard the positions of their enemies from space. Official sources claim that Alpharius was killed at least twice. But can we trust this information?
In the vast expanse of the galaxy, a new hero may rise, claiming to be Alpharius. And can we call such a warrior a liar? If the Primarch himself believed that Alpharius is not a personality but an action, then who are we to argue?
Stay tuned to our series as we continue to explore the rich and intricate lore of Warhammer 40,000.
