Horus had an apothecary captain (from outside his own legion) create a series of clones. Whilst lacking some of that special magic that made the Primarchs so incredible these clones were still rather effective.
Some of these Horus clones were implanted in to the other legions as a method of ensuring the warmaster's control.
Alpha Legion, a special ops legion, secretly controlled by Horus, was in particular need of mighty and loyal warriors.
As such a greatest number of the clones were placed in this legion, which gave rise to every marine in the legion claiming Alpharius identity. Aditionally, it is the reason it occasionally seemed like the Primarch of the XX legion was in several places at once.
Okay, obviously I just made that all up.
I can see it now:
"Which of you is Alpharius?"
Silence, everybody looks around, unsure.
Omegon stands up "I am Alpharius."
The First Captain stands up "I am Alpharius."
Another marine stands up "I am Alpharius."
Every marine stands up one by one to claim they are Alpharius.
Alpharius is seen with a lone tear rolling down his cheek.
I do really like the
AL for all of its shadiness.
How long has the theory that the
AL sided with Horus so Horus would destroy Chaos once the Imperial Palace had been taken and the Emperor killed been around?
