'''Ingo Pech''' was [[First Captain]] of the [[Alpha Legion]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1}}
===HistoryBiography=======The Great Crusade====
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}} ====Isstvan V====*{{Main|Drop Site Massacre}}{{Spoiler|source=Dropsite Massacre (Novel)}}''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]] [[Consul]] [[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}} ====Actions during the Heresy====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}}

====The Siege of Terra====

Eventually Pech was dispatched by an unknown party to aid the Emperor during the [[Siege of Terra]]. His hypno-trigger phrase "Xenophon" was activated, as opposed to "Sagittary" (loyalty to Horus), "Paramius" (mutual annihilation), or "Orphaeus" (ignore both sides and focus on battling Chaos). However, he soon fell under the control of the witch [[Actae]], who used her psychic powers to activate "Orphaeus" and make him her slave. Now going by "Alpharius", Actae and Pech were able to join [[Ollanius Persson]], [[John Grammaticus]], and [[Argonauts|their group]] in infiltrating the [[Imperial Palace]]. At a hidden Alpha Legion arms cache in the depths of the [[Imperial Dungeon]], Pech was able to activate a psi-dampening device he found to explain his plight to John Grammaticus, pleading for help.{{Fn|5a}} John agreed to help Pech, and the First Captain saved the [[Perpetual]] from an attack by Alpha Legion 2nd Captain [[Mathias Herzog]], who had been sent under the trigger "Sagittary".{{Fn|5b}}
