Only in their current available play style. They are nothing like other CSMs. They don't live in the Eye, they don't worship the gods (though they share this with the Night Lords and Iron Warriors) and they're still the same moustache-twirlers they always were.

Actually now they all want to be Black Legion and consider Abaddon to be their spiritual liege. This is because they are renegade warbanz.

They are the Wild Card of Chaos, they are not suppose to be understood as to having clear goals other than what they allow you to see... which is probably wrong in the first place due to the fact that you are listening to an Alpha Legionary.
