===The Heresy===

It has long been supposed that since Alpharius was only familiar with one other Primarch, Horus, it was self-explanatory why he chose the side he did at the outset of the Heresy. Indeed, the very plan at [[Isstvan V]] where Horus struck his first blow against his fellow Legions by destroying most of the [[Iron Hands]], [[Raven Guard]] and [[Salamanders]] Legions in a massive ambush, was very reminiscent of plans that Alpharius had created in the past.{{Fn|2}} However, it is possible that there is another reason for Alpharius leading his Legion to the side of the traitors, a secret known only inside the Legion. Around two years before the beginning of the Heresy, Alpharius Omegon was apparently contacted by members of a [[Xenos]] organisation called the [[Cabal]], who brought to him visions of the impending civil war within the Imperium, and expanded knowledge of the nature and designs of [[Chaos]]. It is believed that the Cabal convinced Alpharius that the only way to permanently defeat Chaos was to ensure that Horus was victorious. It is perhaps for this reason that Alpharius Omegon, secretly true to the Imperium and loyal to the Emperor, may have chosen to join the heretics.{{Fn|1}}
