Inquisitor Kravin of the Ordo Malleus was the leading scholar about the Alpha Legion's history and current activities.1a Recently his studies have been cast into doubt and his current whereabouts are unknown.1d
Contents
Overview
Kravin is responsible of much of the knowledge possessed about the secretive Alpha Legion. His findings were put to question after his speech towards the Ikrilla Conclave, when he was accused by Inquisitor Girreaux of consorting with traitors and of plotting to organize Chaos uprisings within the Imperium. He has since disappeared without answering these accusations, which renders all information he provided about the Legion suspicious to say the least. In fact, much of it is now believed to be disinformation created by the Alpha Legion itself.1d
Discoveries and Theories
The Discovery of Alpharius
The Discovery of Alpharius has been an enigma to the Imperium until recently. Kravin claimed to have found an ancient journal that describes the first contact between Horus and Alpharius towards the end of the Great Crusade and the time both Primarchs spend together.
Kravin estimated the validity of said journal at 62.6%.1a
The Drop Site Massacre
The Drop Site Massacre was the legendary betrayal during the Horus Heresy in which the second wave of Space Marine Legions send against Horus turned against their loyal brothers. The deceitful nature of the betrayal has led Kravin and other scholars to believe that Alpharius and Horus may have planned the Drop Site Massacre together.1b
Lessons of Strife
Lessons of Strife is a diatribe by Kravin which features details about the battle between the Alpha Legion and the Ultramarines on Eskrador. The information was taken from the what seemed to be the personal log of an Ultramarine and was reportedly found in a system earth-wards of Eskrador. Both members of the Inquisition and Ultramarine-representatives have questioned its veracity.1b
Operatives
Operatives are believed by some to be special non-astartes agents that are exclusively used by the Alpha Legion. Kravin supported the theory that these individuals coordinate the activities between the Legion and their numerous Chaos Cultists.1c
The Ikrilla Conclave
The Ikrilla Conclave was addressed by Kravin after his investigations concerning the Alpha Legion's recruitment methods. The Inquisitor claimed that the Legion was creating new Marines somewhere within the Imperium and accused Terra of ignoring such a dire threat.1d
