More specifically, (via Lexicanum):

The first batch of Alpha Legionaries were notably tall and strong even for members of the Astartes, physical attributes which suited Alpharius' focus on misdirection. For the Primarch put into place a directive that, as far as possible, all Alpha Legion marines had to attempt to look alike; and the visage they patterned themselves on was that of Alpharius and Omegon. As a result, all Alpha Legionaries were at the very least shaven headed, with many going so far as to have cosmetic surgical alteration. Their height also made it easier for them to be confused with the Primarch, although the twins were still the tallest in the Legion. When asked by non-Legion members, all Legionaries gave their names as "Alpharius", even when more than one was present.

Highly unlikely to be one of the twins. Totally believable to be one of the legionaries. Eisenhorn has slipped pretty far down the path of the damned.


...although how far he's slipped would really depend on whose side the Alpha Legion is actually fighting for.

Between the Daemonhost, chaos book, and his insistence of pursuing a personal war, there really isn't much difference between him and someone like Glaw.


*aside from the fact that he's working to preserve the Imperium, rather than destroy it. Which is kind of a big difference, regardless of his methods.
