The Mysteries of Alpharius Omegon (Warhammer 40K & Horus Heresy Lore) 

“ So utterly self assured as to think that he has not only solved warfare, but that he thinks it can be committed to a _book._ “

Holy shit, the oculus didnt die from falling on 48 differnt knives he left in his Hab block

An account of Alpharius' attempt to fool his brother, Rogal Dorn: "I am Alpharius." "No." "DAMMIT!"

I see the Inquisition hasn't flayed you for the last recording yet :3

Occulus is Alpharius. Explains how he's still alive to write this after making the Inquisition lose its fucking mind from his last post.

"Bleakness personified." Yup that sounds like dad alright, Grandfather bless him.

Inquisitors: oononononono argagghhhghh you cant just shit on the Imperium and get away with it My man Oculus: haha immunity granted by daddy rowboat goes brrrrr

Lion: Have you guys found your Primarch, yet? Random Hydra: Yes, I am Him. Lion: Wait, what? Another Hydra, in background: Is somebody looking for, me: Alpharius!? Lion: What!? A Dark Angel next to Johnson: Are you looking for me, Alpharius? Lion: WHAAA *Starts taking notes*

A male voice:" I'm Alpharius." Other male voices: I'm Alpharius, No I'm Alpharius." Male voice: " Ah SHUT UP! I'M ALPHARIUS! " Suddenly, a female voice: " I'm Alpharius...."

I kind of wonder: did the Lion really not know that Alpharius was trying to trick him, or did the Lion know, and simply not care? Knowing the Lion, it could go either way.

How is this man still alive after his last vox cast recording?

But historitor! Have you misplaced Arnaid’s notes on the meeting of the Lion and Alpharius? “I watched and listened. Though superficially different, there was something disconcertingly similar about the way the two of them spoke. It was as if the words were only surface-deep, and that the true import of what they said was still unspoken, locked in hidden caskets of meaning.” Clearly, if his words are to be believed, the historical record shows that Lion El’jonson wasn’t completely blind to who he was talking to, be it the man “Alpha” or the representation of alpharius. Given the primarch of The First’s ability to perceive the warp (Zahariel, Saroshi mines), I do not believe it would be a stretch to argue that The Lion could not only perceive who he was talking to, but unlike Magnus, was not willing to risk our glorious Emperor’s plans by revealing any information beyond what was already public rumour of said alpha legion. If the alpha legion tests, then they may have also seen how the Lion behaves with information, his discretion may have been tested.

Oculus could actually *be* Alpharius, considering the hiding he needs to do from the Inquisition.

The utter contempt for Lorgar that we hear in your voice is a work of art.

HE’S ALIVE!!! PRAISE THE EMPEROR, HE’S ALIVE!!! ...sees subject... HE’S GONNA DIE!!! EMPEROR HAVE MERCY, HE’S GONNA DIE!!! ... Jokes, aside, thank you for the Alpha Legion lore. Their probably my favorite legion.

I'm going to make a prediction that the channel has an over arching narrative that we are just getting a glimpse of recently. I think that the records will get progressively more heretical, and maybe less coherent as he 'discovers' more and more. I'm probably wrong, but I'm putting this here now just on the off chance...

Someone heard the age old question asked to twins of "Ever presented yourself to others as your twin?" and decided to make a Legion out of that

The Dark Angels secretive nature makes makes more sense if "Big A" was a founder of the Inner Circle. Legions I and XX have far too many first/last parallels to be ignored; even the name Alpha makes it seem like the Angels were his beta-test.

The Ordo Sinister is suitably impressed by the mysterious nature of the Alpha Legion and its twin Primarchs. Fantastic work as always Historian.....your words and efforts are greatly appreciated.

I am of the opinion that some of the Primarchs knew at the very least, some of the story. We know that Alpharius and Omegon can be identified. In Legion, John Grammaticus said that each was identifiable. Dorn was also able to identify Alpharius. Lorgar knew there were two Primarchs. Then, there's the curious actions of Roboute Guilliman. Roboute is not adverse to working in secrets. He worked with Corvus Corax and learned from him. Look at Roboute's actions during Hexarchy crisis. He was even willing to work with Lorgar, who he called "an embarrassment" and "an impediment to the effective rule of the Imperium." Yet, Roboute refused to work with Alpharius. Why? It can't be as simple as "I don't like his methods." The Roboute we know would certainly not be that petty. We also know that Robotue analytical ability is beyond par. Perhaps only the Emperor himself could challenge it. His ability to take scraps of information and create a broad picture is without peer. Could it be that he saw something that he did not approve? The Primarchs have expressed dislike to their brothers before, but usually with cause. Corvus Corax disliked Horus because he felt that Horus misused his Raven Guard, severely depleting it's numbers. So, what was the enmity between Roboute and Alpharius? My speculation is that Roboute discovered Alpha Legion infiltrators in his Ultramarines.

"Maybe the real Alpharius is the friends we made along the way." *Turns to see an adventuring party of Oculus, Kitten, Cypher, Trazyan, ...

Alpharius and Omegon are the ultimate Unreliable Narrators.

What you did with this one was a masterclass on the difference between authoring and storytelling. You are the light I follow from preface to epilogue of all my novels. Godspeed fellow world builder.

Have you gone into hiding? Are you a renegade now? I’m curious about the oculus lore now lol

Alpharius. Put's up with all his brothers (except Horus who did like him) looking down on him as the "Little Brother" when he's been running this shit long before them and practically handed them some of their victories.

Last video: I LIVE IN AN ENDLESS HELL OF AN EMPIRE! This video: So anyway this rando book by the Uber Trickster Primach (maybe) just showed up on my desk, crazy coincidence amiright?

I’m out here being loyal to a disloyal disloyalist who’s loyal to the loyal disloyalist who likes to be loyal to disloyalty to the disloyalty of loyalists to the loyalists. Or maybe that’s just what I want you to think.

There is no mystery to the Alpha Legion's motives or purpose, never has been. Through all the levels of secrets, lies, and misdirection, the Alpha Legion lost track of what they were doing and now their warbands are just making it up as they go. Alpharius, Omegon, and all their sons are basically Captain Jack Sparrow.

More Alpha legion content, I worry for your sanity

Dammit "I am Alpharius" is just "Hail Hydra", how did I just realize that.

My favourite 'traitor' legion. I'd love to see gw lore actually show them some love, and see more indecipherable motives, both loyal and otherwise.

Who could say which is the first head of the Hyrda, and those who question it will be driven mad by the answers of several hundreds of thousands of heads answering all at once.

TFW the assassin you sent to kill Alpharius reports back successfully, but so did the other 5

Huh so I guess nobody has found his Herecy tapes YET

Shock twist, "Alpha" is actually Alfabusa and this is his memoir.

Glad to see you're still around after the last upload somehow, sir! Watch out for servoskulls with an I on them though.

If I give this video someone in 40 minutes they'll think that I'm insane.

Superlative work, as ever. Without doubt your work is my favourite amongst lore purveyors. Thank you. Please find a way to add this body of work to Spotify or something I'd listen to the audio alone a hundred times.

omfg! I just finished reading head of the hydra an hour before this was posted.

The Alpharius book is amazing. Highly recommend for any fans of 40k novels as the lore in it is bonkers.

I wonder where the Alpha Legion battlecry of "Death to the enemies of the false emperor!" started.

Wow...is this from the books? The way you weave together inconsistencies of the cannon as historical errors and redaction is simply brilliant.

Hydra Dominatus We pretty much know for sure now that Alpharius and Omegon are loyal. I am Alpharius

What's really interesting is that the encounter with the Lion is told from the Dark Angels perspective in the short story First Legion. In that account, there was only one Alpha legionary who presented himself to the Lion and the exchange was noticeably different. What this means is that Alpharius' account is likely a lie given the untrustworthy narrator issue.

I am a simple person. I see a video of the Oculus of the Logos Historica Verita, I hit like and write a comment.

Love this video. Alpharius used to be one of my least favorite Primarch's. However he has made it to number 5 with his new novel and later Heresy lore. Still we have the mystery of what happened to him after the Heresy as we know Omegon died to Dorn. Edit: I can't wait for the Valdor and Bequine stuff from you.

I choose to believe that everything we've heard about Alpharius is true. Even the contradictory things. How does that work? 🤷 no fuckin clue. But its true.

Hell yes brother. Hydra Dominatus.

This record just happens to appear after the self confessional? Sounds like the hydra might be reaching out.

Could you please do a video dedicated to the Navis Imperialis? 😇

*Alpha Legionnaire:* I am Alpharius ! Death Company Marine: Pfft... I am Sanguinius !

My interpretation of the book is that outside of the Prologue and Epilogue Alpharius is the one speaking. Not only is this my favorite 40k book but it's one of my favorite books of all time.

This came out right after I finished watching the previous Alpha Legion videos. Google, how do I tell if I’m being recruited into the Alpha Legion?

I refuse to believe he died, this is just a elaborate scheme of his to avoid suspicion

everyone knows that Oculus is a Alpha legion sleeper agent know as "Alpherius", and the "lore" he think he is spreading is part of the "true Alpherius" 10d chess game, if any existed in the first place, for all we know it he may never existed or is a pan consicence of all hydra many heads, jumping from body to body as you would change your playable character, or is it?

Wait how are you still alive? You blatantly claimed to be a heretic lmao Guess the inquisitor lady got tired since the last time...

Another worthy entry Scribe. I put it under immediate review following evening tactical indoctrination sessions and night fire exercises.

You are the most immersive 40k channel on YT. Thank you so much for the A+ content.

this channel is more than just fandom, it's an artistic transmutation of lore-consumer to lore-creator

New theory! The Oculus has been killed many *many* times by the Inquisition. Gulliman keeps having Cawl clone him and restore his memories to back to a point before he was deemed corrupt, so that the work can continue. The current Oculus may be the second clone, or the hundredth. Only the Inquisition and the Genetors Biologis how often this has happened.

That extra long fade out...I was waiting for the "HydraDominatus" but it never came. Well played sir.

Just listened to this again. It’s just brilliant...

Hydra Dominatus! Thanks for the wonderful content

Alpharius/Omegon should meet Aizen. This would be an endless sequence of plots inside plots, ilusions inside ilusions, and basically infinite monologues.

I see the Oculus has survived somehow the record _before_ this one. How, will be a question for the ages, but the sight is welcome nonetheless!

Finally somebody in the Warhammer community who made them sound cool af,

Boom! First LIKE again😁...I drop everything when I get your video notices. You're the best channel on RU-vid

I'm upset there was no "Hydra Dominatus" before the end credits like in previous A.L. videos.

I like to believe that even members of the Alpha Legion are super confused about everything. They actually are super inefficient and can't get anything done. "Am I Alpharius? Are you Alpharius? Is Alpharius even real? What am I meant to do on this mission? Is it a real mission?"

Oculus TRYING to commit compulsory suicide now. Absolutely begging for it.

We are all Alpharius. Loyal to the Emperor's final ambition, to the bitter end. Hydra dominatus.

"The Alpha Legion, and Alpharius, existed." - Rogal Dorn

I dont understand you guys. 6k view and less then 800 likes. Wtf is wrong with you people

Well at least they got a good callidus operative to replace oculus after he "fell" on 27 bullets for the last "hot mic" broadcast

i have to listen to you at 1.25 speed, it makes you sound a little more snippy and pompus but it suits the content and the theme of the 40k universe. keep up the great work.

I'm suprise this isn't a 10 second video that just "My guess is just as good as your"

Hydra Dominatus

considering the alpha legion's involvement in the Siege of Terra narrative and in a particularly pivotal series set in the 40k era which may have resounding reverberations on the lore when it is completed, the primarchs and every member of the legion might be the only beings immune to the sorcery of the ruinous powers. For both demons and their hunters, True Names are necessary for combat. What happens when your true name isn't just hidden, but this meta-identity, Alpharius, is like a spell that removes any True Name. The Burning of Prospero showed how hiding a true name was an invaluable weapon against sorcery and chaos. Not having one makes you completely impervious.

Thank you, butt stuff Kaiju. We welcome you.

Whilst the the other ordos may see the greatest mystery as the thrice hydra of the alpha legion We at the Ordo hereticus find the greatest mystery to be that of Oculus imperia's continued existence

You sir have the best Warhammer lore content. They way you present it is amazing, thank you for all of your hard work.

There was never a 20th legion to begin with. I'm alfarius and this is a lie.

"Long ago Alpharious-Omegon *existed* " -Oculus

‘Alpharius’ was easily the best 40k/30k story I’ve read in a very long time. Easily top 3.

Well, that is quite a tale that the Alpha Legion is feeding the Oculus through that "accidental" discovery to distract him from the real discovery that He found the Alpha Legion Primarch on Luna. But then again nobody may find out that they are Loyalists until the time is right.

Oculus has not been burned for being a heretic...The Emperor Protects

Ah yes now I've lost sleep and I can't tell of my beds Alpharius

To please the algorithm

What do you think about "Cypher" maybe being Alpharious or a alpha legion spy to protect the imperium as a chaotic neutral?

I like to think that two of the “founding stories” are the stories of the two “lost” primarchs

ah i see, the inquisition didnt execute you after your last record, but they gave you a worse punishment, trying to understand anything alpha legion related

Throne-damn, that was some good shit with which to end the loathsome week

_He knows too much._

How are you still alive after your last record master?

For the algorithm... We are alpharius...

I was really hoping for another whispered "Hydra Dominatus" at the end.

By the emperor your work is wonderful to hear my friend! Be it played while I maintain my wargear or when I meditate or sleep your voice is soothing and allowes one to learn in a calm relaxed way. I thank you lore master! Your work is apreshiated by this humble son of Vulkan

Welp my mind is broken thank you occulus for this well done I need ibuprofen now I have a headache

A comment for the all mighty algorithm!

I AM ALPHARIUS. - Omegon
