It should be noted that the [[Alpha Legion]]'s trademark secrecy extends to records of their Primarch. Little recorded information on his background exists, and almost all of what is currently known by the Imperium comes from the information provided by [[Inquisitor Kravin]] of the [[Ordo Malleus]]. Inquisitor Kravin was subsequently believed to have been tainted by the Alpha Legion and his current whereabouts are unknown. Hence, much of the Imperial data concerning the Primarch could be considered suspect, and indeed there are some who believe the whole Kravin affair was an Alpha Legion plot to plant misinformation in the Imperial records.{{Fn|2}}
Alpharius wore at least four sets of Armour before the Heresy he had discarded when they showed signs to identify him{{Fn|3}}. Alpharius himself was the smallest of the Primarchs, but his lieutenants were larger than normal [[Space Marine]]s. This allowed them to often switch places and assume each others identities.{{Fn|10a}} To disguise Alpharius Omegon further members of the Alpha Legion would drink a substance mixed with the Primarch's blood that seems to temporarily turn them into him. The disguise is so convincing that even the Legion's own [[Apothecaries]] are fooled by it, and those who undertake the process are even given some of their Primarch's memories.{{Fn|5}} Another more bizarre method of disgusing himself further saw Alpharius use his [[Librarian]]s to apparently switch bodies with members of his Legion, as was the case with [[Kel Silonius]].{{Fn|10b}}
