Like many within the Legion, he was cosmetically modified to resemble his [[Primarch]] [[Alpharius Omegon]] and would often play the role of Alpharius to others. According to an account given by [[Alpharius]] which is said to be a lie, Pech was one of the Alpha Legionaries who worked closest with the Primarch during the days before his formal "rediscovery". Alongside [[Mathias Herzog]], it was Pech who recommended that Alpha Legionaries change their appearance to match that of Alpharius.{{Fn|4a}} During this time he was "promoted" to frequently serving as Alpharius in the Primarch's stead.{{Fn|4b}}
Pech, along with Alpharius, Omegon, and [[Thias Herzog]], all played the role of Alpharius to [[John Grammaticus]] when they learned of the [[Cabal]] and their mission to influence the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1}} During the [[Dropsite Massacre]], Pech was a key traitor commander and oversaw the Alpha Legion's duplicitous manipulation of both sides, though openly they were pledged to Horus. After meeting the [[Iron Warriors]] [[CounselConsul]] [[Grelth]] to "coordinate" the coming massacre, Pech activated [[Operative]]s throughout the loyalist fleet which sabotaged their ships{{Fn|8a}}, while also indirectly causing damage to traitor ones through acts such as collisions caused by the wrecks of loyal vessels.{{Fn|8c}} He also ensured that some loyalists were able to escape the battle, such as [[Admiral]] [[Klave]].{{Fn|8b}} Over the course of the subsequent Heresy, Pech was later seen subordinated to [[Harrowmaster]] [[Kel Silonius]], commanding forces in the [[Battle of Pluto]].{{Fn|2}}
At one point during the Horus Heresy, Pech aided a loyalist strike force during the [[Pale Stars campaign (Horus Heresy)|Pale Stars campaign]], as it was fighting [[Daemon]]s and the [[Night Lords]].{{Fn|6}}
