ALPHA LEGION LORE

a promotion they called it I left her the chance as an arbiters of a long and distinguished career I can tell you one thing it's not all it's cracked up to be I left at the chance for a change the thing with this job is that it's so often involves wiping mutant off your boots I despised them the regular journeys into the under hive to cold him my old gaffer used to say the hive is like a house my lad and the under hive is the sewer if you don't flush it out regularly the feces start to run in the streets but I won't miss it I never took pleasure in the pyres we made of their burnt bodies the coals in my mind the most disgusting thing about mutants is their need to try to gain mercy by sounding like us I know it's all mimicry like an animal that seems to call your name in the dark I need to pounce on you when you wander away from the campsite they insist on trying to sound like humans when they are screaming when they are wailing for pity and clemency but it's all an act but I want to miss it at all well what a fool by handing me a midden sandwich all right transfer to internal affairs for exemplary service and conduct but it was a setup he reminds me of the Joker only here in this department have you killed 99 officials with wine club and without breaking a sweat push 100 of them into a room hand them the single pub and form them one of them is alpha Legion and they cannot come out until they find it's not funny it was never funny it's a living hell when the first one turned out with that nasty little tattoo their three-headed snake or Hydra where they cool it it was just the beginning we find them everywhere now but the sights of explosions at the scene of executions they never run they just stand there with their hands on their heads and a glazed expression with just a hint of a crooked smirk on their faces like they know they're going to be tortured to death but somehow what I hate it and I hate them but there is one thing I hate more than anything else it is filling into damn charts there's a chart a sheet from bloody everything in this row everything so I fill in yet another chart another form another waste of my time the last words chart why do we even bother none of them make any sense before they executed a strange and arcane ritual is enacted the executioner will ask them if they have any last words gibberish is what then occurs they say practically the same phrase each time was only one difference it starts I am al farías where that is and then they end with the Hydra awakes but there is always a word just one that is snuggled between the two statements rubbish so it goes like this I am all Farias you the Hydra awakes so I have to put all of these last words into the cogitate er I should be out hunting them trying to predict their pattern but no I am doing this admin work I feel in entry after entry line after identical line one by one on this huge sheet it takes hours but then something happens I start to notice a pattern at last something to go on their Achilles heel maybe when putting order of execution it makes no sense at all but when you rearrange into date of arrest it becomes clear I ignore the prologue and epilogue entries of I am Alf arias and the Hydra awakes and a sentence begins to form from all of those random words and to the last details then it becomes clear you are asleep but you must do as instructed destroy the Arbor teas main center the Hydra wakes a pane appears behind my eyes for a second then clears as swiftly as it arrived I look at my reflection in the cogitate a screen I know what I must do I press the delete button wiping the records permanently I stand and leave my office I locked the door I walk with a spring in my step down than many flights of stairs to the power station at the base of the building I walk inside and nod to the tech priest there before I pass his bemused gayer and stare at the Power Core I draw my pistol quietly and then turn and execute the priest a single shot to the head I then walk to the controls I begin the process of overloading it I had no idea was subjected with this sort of thing I stand back and admire my handiwork saz I hear the plant begin to shudder slowly rising to the moment it will explode and envelop this entire blocking radioactive fire I walked to another panel and tap in my last words strange I'm elated at their writing I feel such a sense of calm and achievement I send a single message to the spaceport officials I am affari Asst you the Hydra awakes welcome gentle listener I am Baltimore I wish to introduce you to the factions and forces of the weimar 40k universe today we will be attempting to understand possibly one of the most complicated inscrutable factions an entire grim darkness of the future for today we will attempt to wrestle with the very basics of the Alpha the lesion I must state straight off the bat that this is possibly one of the most difficult subjects I have ever had to present and so I am insistent that this should be a brief introduction as these matters have been dealt with on the channel previously as I must be honest and stated my opinion perspective my approach to this fraction have altered so many times but I'm unable to be certain of anything being correct what we can do is try to discern the very basics and then to move on to the many many nuances of this function at another time hopefully by that time I will have a more solid and static position on them but that is the wonder of Warhammer the juice that fills the glass the thing that keeps fans coming back time and time again its complexity its steps and I will apologize now for many a gentle listener may not like this unorthodox entry as it goes on as it will be so eclectic but just know that this is by design so let us move on to the basics and see where the trail takes us but just know that I honestly do not have an absolute view of where the destination actually is the Alpha Legion our riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma none can truly know them look you versions none can guess their insidious motives but that is the key word here insidious insidious meaning proceeding in a gradual subtle way with very harmful effects they represent a darkness staff you truly grasp even I am not sure I'm capable of doing so with the details we have at hand gentle listener but there is one truth about them everything is a lie and everything is true the greatest lies always have the kernel of truth at their center and when it comes to lying the Alpha Legion are second to none but let us start with what is actually known the prime acts of the Alpha Legion those demigods who are forged by the Emperor of mankind to lead his armies across the galaxy in the Great Crusade were all made designed birth for a reason each had their strengths the none other possessed in many it was blatant in their primary attribute was not only their defining one but it was their entire goal the modus operandi their raison d'être necessary purpose like a pantheon of gods the pie marks would display their powers for all to see and illusions theist artis speaks Marines that made up their legions were all taken from their template for example Lehmann Rus is quite easily comparable with God for a bluff braggart but an honorable soul and warrior without peer who always would stand against tyranny and evil where it's certain the halls of his people such a his legion the space Wars loud and aggressive feral and fierce but they are also unflinching in there's loyalty to the Emperor and his Imperium mr. prime marks are indeed a pantheon then alpha Legion were led by Loki to knows tricks of God always plotting planning always active some say that Loki was an evil Satan type figure but in my humble opinion he was not it was a cautionary tale the similarities are endless in many retellings of the fables of the Gods the Asya Loki was a young God and hot to impress and to insist he was also active and always fought the enemies of the gods with his most pronounced attributes his mind is coming you would think not out fight his opponents and save the realm eternal on many an occasion but he was not the brute strength of Thor nor the noble endurance or Balder nor the indefatigable force of Justice of tear hence no matter the result of his activity he was all sneered at and delighted by the more brutish gods as they always concentrated on slighting his methods never seeing their results few at the time said okie was ever given his due and so it is with the pry marks of the Alpha Legion yes you heard me right high marks plural for of all of the Sons of the Emperor only the Alpha Legion had twins at their helm it was said that they were the one soul in two bodies they were called al farías and OMA gone they were one where al Ferris was the name most knew as this was the persona that have been designed or designated as the public face of the Legion it could never be discerned if one spoke to our various or to whom all gone never the myths about our various Omegan are so many that it is impossible for me at this point to actually be clear some say he was captured by the slaught abused broken and then found by the emperor who limit tried to put him back together some say he was found at the head of an interstellar empire that was a thorn in the side of the war master or a Snooper car himself and that one of them boarded his vessel as an assassin to decapitate him and end the Crusades on would rush into the empire that our various and Oh m'god believed was their own some say that he was always on earth and that the emperor for his own reasons kept these sons hidden and trained him personally for many years even before the discovery of Forrest Luke are officially the first Primarch to be reunited with the emperor and his crusade some say that he is actually the unseen hand of the emperor and plays a game on his behalf though none of his siblings would or could perform or allow but this is all propaganda possibly with the gem of truth hidden in each of the lies but they are if taken as a totality lies dissembling propagated and spread by the Lords of confusion the pry marks of the Alpha Legion for to know the genesis were saying often means understanding it something that they never wanted any to be able to do you understand them for the our Felician of experts in espionage that put even the Raven guard to shame where other lesions would display their power wess on the battlefield the Alpha Legion fought entirely differently no slouches on the battlefield either but it was not their purview here in the pantheon of the gods to put the pry marks it was our Faris's tactics and his messes that were also derided and slurred no matter the results as with my analogy floki his crashes with many notables are well documented I can still not make a clear picture of it I know that many come to this site for slightly off-the-wall perspective that may deviate from the standard relaying by more competent and experienced or peddlers but in this regard I had must admit they have me foxed but the tale of Loki I find appropriate and the time of the writing of this tract at least as it was the constant division of his message never giving him his due that led to Loki taking the path of evil and antagonism to his fellow gods basically if you were lied about endlessly you start to wear the mantle provided you thus does it also appear to be with our fairies and over gone let us be direct even Conrad curse the Primark of the knife towards the purveyors of terror themselves even he called out the tactics of the Alpha Legion even the night hunter stated that there was something twisted about this lesion and his two young pry marks I will not even Brook now the reaction he gained from Rogel or from the boot who practically paid for his blood at many a point in the Great Crusade but ever did the Odin of the pantheon the Emperor ignore and suppress their contentions our fellows omegan and their lesion will Esther her own devices more and more as time went by perhaps this is why they robbed the path that they did that they were found in last that they were literally decades behind their siblings in time to accrue glory and accomplishments may have been a huge impact police said that they initially went out of there to try to move faster and more effectively than any other lesion in an attempt to make up for the lost time but it was not to be their efforts no matter the results were always derided at this point it would be utterly illogical for any person especially a sibling deemed to be the junior to simply up sticks and refused to play by the rules of us are heavily stacked an instant in many our accounting the twin spent blessed little time with the Emperor their father perhaps he had seen them as the completion of his armies and took them for granted perhaps he was simply bored of the lines and training he would have to give any primark when he had done so 19 times before as he said in some tales that he formed a better bond with his oldest sibling the first found or a supercar the war master it is seen that this lack of time with the Emperor why they were viewed as so easily turned to the side afore us when he fell to darkness and then rebelled and said he moves in the conflagration of the Horus heresy but he did not really spend that much time with Horus either so there are holes in this argument also there are details that are known only to them on a solitary world in their path once the twins it is said to be our farriers was secretly met by representative of a group of xenos aliens calling themselves the Cabal in this meeting a perpetual Guk John grammatic has acted on the on the behalf of the Cabal as mediator an attempted conversion of the Primarch gramatica stated the Cabal were ancient and powerful and had been working against chaos for millennia of course on the understanding gentle listener that at the point of the meeting there was no general knowledge of the forces of chaos or their dark gods not even that fly Marx knew about them the emperor kept this from them all for reasons we may never know dramatic us went on to tell our various though the Cabal has cried only two possible outcomes to the mighty events that were about to unfold he was informed that Horace would fall to chaos and then he would openly rebel against his father the Emperor the two possible future pathways on these one if the emperor was victorious and it would break the back of the Imperium and everything it presently professed to represent the forces of chaos would grow over time and eventually consume the galaxy humanity would be its food for all eternity and all will be brought down with them and then to his Emperor would defeat it and Horace would rule the galaxy but his regret his conscience which slowly resurfaced and that he would end in despising himself and the Lords of chaos he would then engage you wars would end in wiping out humanity but that would result in the chaos gods being defeated and the galaxy would then go into a golden age and return to what it was always supposed to have been before it was twisted our ferris over gone were then asked to make a choice to assist the Emperor and end the universe in chaos would join Horace with the goal of sacrificing the human race to defeat the cows gods for all time not much of a choice one might think it is this event that has been used to attempt to define the oscillation for the did go over to Horace and during the Battle of Istavan five they turned the color of their cloth and assisted in the story of a full three legions of loyalists almost torn and almost surely this points them taking the path provided by the Cabal but is it so because for this reason alpha is to local duel into a confrontation that ended in his own death row goose slew him or did he was that actually our fairies or Oh m'god or simply an incredibly well trained and performing illusionary who were they groomed to be the sacrifice that all believed impossible to tell a farias omegan are said in some tales to be the smallest the pry marks and actually able to move amongst their men with total anonymity other reports stated they were towering warriors of golden skin and unsurpassed martial ability which are right everything is true and everything is a lie for there are so many details about them and yet so few they claimed serve chaos undivided do not show signs of mutation and the blessings from the Dark Gods they did not retreat into the eye of terror as their brothers did when Horus lost at the Battle of terror and the traitor lesions were then chased to the eye by the remaining loyalists lesions and their prime marks now a legion simply disappeared and they have been in hiding ever since hiding amongst the normal citizenry of the Imperium even among the forces of the space marines they are considered to be everywhere and nowhere all at the same time yet they still seem to strike for the forces of chaos yet they have been recorded to have performed atrocities that would make a world-eater or a knight Lord bulk but in the rare times they reveal themselves for open combat they have been heard to scream old war cries like for the Emperor is his sarcasm what is it truth are they following chaos or tricking them too are they the deepest cover operatives who ever existed in the history of the galaxy wearing a mask of obedience to the cows guards for over 10,000 years whilst always remaining loyal in their hearts the sabotage and deep-cover operatives are one of the greatest threats to the Imperium I know I say that a lot but each time it's true that's why it's called the grimdark the Hydra the many headed beast the tick in the ear the whispering the back of the mind is their greatest weapon distrust for most believes that the Imperium is rife with distrust a paranoia but this is clearly not the case no matter what people may feel the reality is that the Navy is expected to carry the forces of the Imperium to his destinations and protect from a Raiders and privates all worlds are expected to pay their tithes all chapters of a starties are expected to respond to the klaxon calls for assistance the meanest orem are expected to exalt the emperor and its people are expected to toil for them in periods very survival but when these expectations are not met Aniki occurs an anarchy that is always abused and used by the Alpha Legion to then perform whatever tasks secure whatever objectives or resources they require to further their insidious imaginations and as per the joke we had earlier they are now at a stage that their name alone the one planted operative designed to be found can then tear apart these conventions of cooperation as entire sways of the Imperial bureaucracy and military then attempt to find these snakes in the grass by purging purging what may not even be there but purging nonetheless they were ever a strange and undeniably powerful Asian the cohesion and organization loyalty and unquestioning ability to work together to a single goal on the battlefield was unmatched even the grand organizer and his ultramarines were not the equal in their ability to organize a strike of a million elements their discipline is also a thing to be marveled at truly marveled why any other estar T's will give their life for their lords for our second thought but will they give up themselves dr. Bob but what do I mean the Alpha Legion are so disciplined so cunning so dauntless in their devotion to their cause that they regularly and frequently have their minds they're very personalities and everything that makes a person who they are this allows them to be true Deep Cover operatives as there is simply not the information in their minds and souls to be divulged but imagine the commitment to cause to willingly have this performed to effectively be ended again and again and again and know that no matter how successful or how impressive your deeds you will not remember a single one of them at the end of the course of your life now that there's a level of conviction that should make others quake when one of them is captured and states very simply I am our farías it may not actually be a Rouge term they may actually believe that the perfect traitor is the one who does not know they are traitor in their heart as is oft said it is the sleeper units that can be everywhere or nowhere but it also means something else something strange it means that there is actually no certainty at all it's the Legionaries of the alpha are actually working for the same goal that they started with all of those years ago how would it be possible for them to even tell any marine any official any officer any man woman or child in his encounters in the grim darkness no future could be a sleeper unit after alpha Asian and never even know it until they are activated and even then they may not know it themselves despite carrying up to nefarious actions of these busy busy bees so that is one thing above all that must be acknowledged by all fans of this glorious setting the Alpha lesion of the hardest workers in the entirety of the human race for they are never at rest never still always plotting and scheming towards an ends even they may not not fully know themselves but always always busy little bees the world eaters may exemplify worshipers of the blood God corn the Emperor's children may do so for the Prince of pleasure / the death guards are ardent in their love of the grandfather circle and the thousand suns show unflinching devotion to Lord of change is each the iron warriors may hate chaos while still serving it the Black Legion may profess independence while fighting for it the night Lords may so misery in its name and the word bearers believed there its greatest servants but it is the Alpha Legion who ah chaos if actions speak louder than words then they are merely allowed a form of communication but who are the Alpha Legion talking to because in my mind as things stand right now the three-headed snake the Hydra may well represent the truth of the matter some have said that this represents that there were actually triplets not twins but I do not see this there the Alpha and the Omega the beginning and the end with a lion L Johnson was a template the start of the journey our Ferris and Omegan are its conclusion its end thus a three-headed Hydra symbol reveal something nobody even wishes to consider the existence or third path which the Alpha lesion tread alone one path is loyalty to the throne and the Emperor of mankind one passes the way of chaos and serving to dark gods perhaps just perhaps they serve neither but what does this mean or to say what godhood for themselves the destruction of the universe or maybe something else only time will tell but when they do achieve their goals with our various Otto McGann or both or neither at the wheel would anyone even know gentle listener I've been Baltimore your faithful servant if you are confused at this point then please do forgive me it was by design I have tried to affect how dealing with the Alpha Legion is to their adversaries for anyone dealing with them is always always confused if you see them it is because they want you to see them if you stumble upon them it is what they wished but herein lies the rub they are not infallible and it is this fear been taking into a trap or the fear a revealing one that is actually their best power their strongest trait for fighting the Alpha Legion saps all of them as vital flame confidence certainty their propaganda is their greatest weapon and is wielded like a cudgel but also like a scalpel when one confronts the Alpha Legion one simply does not know as I do not know as you do not know one day I will make more entries for this magnificent fraction that brings so much the setting of mercy I will be more clear as we discuss their organizational tactics known history more clearly and their recent actions I look forward to this happening but do know that it will be some time I was not applying hyperbole when I stated that my opinion of them shifts by the hour as it really really does so gentle listener welcome to Warhammer I sincerely hope you can roll with some of its elements and lean into the confusion for sometimes not knowing for certain is actually more fun than being able to witness the entire canvas it allows the imagination to saw if you have enjoyed this brief introduction to the Alpha lesion then please do consider liking and subscribing and if you have the desire hitting the comment section to witness the full ory that will be therein contained and share your own perceptions of the Alpha lesion I can assure you it's going to be very soon fun but always remember the image of the fireside brothers and sisters we spend time together for the fun of it so be joyous and above all be kind if you are a regular gentle listener and see the worth in what we are doing then please do consider supporting us on patreon or making a one-of contribution to the channel I cannot even describe the amount of coffee I get through to do my little tap dances rough-and-ready so they may be now no matter what you do today do try to make some time for fun
