→Omegon
While the Astartes of the Alpha Legion, once at least, made an attempt to all look alike, both Alpharius and Omegon were still somewhat distinctive. Taller than the rest of the Legion, slightly copper-skinned, bald and possessed of a heavy brow, they somewhat resembled their brother, [[Horus]]. Unlike him, Alpharius and Omegon had piercing eyes that seemed to glitter, appearing to shift colour from a cold arctic blue to a shimmering green. The overall impression was one of nobility and intelligence. One way to tell the two apart was when Omegon was performing as commander of Effrit Stealth Squad; large portions of his [[power armour]] and gear were painted black and otherwise darkened. The armour worn by Alpharius was not particularly different from that of an ordinary Alpha Legionnaire.{{Fn|1}}
Despite their close bond and describing themselves as two halves of the same soul, Omegon's loyalties may not lie with his brothers (or vice-versa). During the [[Horus Heresy]] Omegon took suspicious steps against his brother. This included sending troops on a [[Tenebrae Mission|suicide mission]] to destroy a [[Pylon]] array preventing the [[White Scars]] learning about Horus' betrayal without his brothers apparent knowledge.{{Fn|5}} Afterwards, an Alpha Legion fleet that may have been under Omegon's command did not follow Horus' orders to join with the White Scars, but instead seemingly provoked them into hostilities after blockading them long enough for [[Jaghatai Khan]] to receive a message from [[Rogal Dorn]] warning of Horus' treachery. As the Alpha Legion are known for schemes within schemes, the true nature of these acts may never be known.{{Fn|5}}
