Alpharius
Currently, all that is stated about this issue is:
*The [[Emperor of Mankind|Emperor]] created 20 ([[Alpharius Omegon|21]]) Primarchs, who were snatched from [[Terra]] by a [[Chaos]] vortex and scattered around the [[galaxy]].{{Fn|1}}*The 20 ([[Alpharius Omegon|21]]) incubation capsules drifted through the [[warp]] for decades or even centuries, until finally coming to rest on [[human]]-inhabited worlds throughout the galaxy,{{Fn|4}} "where they were variously adopted by human parents."{{Fn|7}}
**The only exception to this is the Primarch [[Konrad Curze]], who survived utterly alone (and whose background, in any case, was only described in later material).
*In the listings of the 20 Legions in Imperial records, Legions II and XI are stated as having "all records expunged from the library". Earlier background (''Codex Imperialis'' and second edition's Ultramarines Codex) less ambivalently states that the records for these two Legions were ''deleted following the Heresy''. Considering that the Traitor Legions are simply listed as ''excommunicate traitoris'' but still included in these same lists, this suggests that the records were deleted deliberately and for a reason only known by those who perpetrated the action.
