40k Conspiracy Theory. I am Alpharius.
At work today I had something run through my mind that got me thinking.
What if, just what if, Guilliman didn’t in fact kill Alpharius (or Omegon), but in fact lost.
What if Alpharius, being the master of all that is deception and under handed tactics and plans with in plans that he is, killed the big blue guy, and having taken his armor (and probably using some creepy warp shannangins) gave himself the appearance of the Ultramarines primarch?
It sounds too absurd to be true, but consider this; Alpharius was warned well in advance of Horus’ heresy. The alien ‘Cabal’ led by the eldar showed Alph two possible futures. One the emperor was slain, Horus would turn in on himself and destroy all he had done, preserving the galaxy. The other had the galaxy dying a slow lingering death after Horus’ defeat.
So, Alph takes this to heart. We already know the 20th legion spent a better portion of its time back on Terra before its primarch was found (or was he not already found?) doing some very strange...shadowy stuff, and no doubt, Alph may have made his way back home to insure a little insurance on the whole galaxy destruction thing.
Say, something in the form of a new army? One that would be ready and waiting when the time came?
Alph allows himself to be ‘assassinated’ by the shard after taking on Guilliman’s appearance. Why? Cause it was meant for the big blue guy. Meaning it wouldn't fully kill Alph. He’s put in stasis while Omegon continues to lead the 20th legion alongside the heresy (or is Omegon the one who takes the blue man’s place? hmmm.)
Knowing the eldar will seek any way they can to preserve themselves, especially having shown part of their hand to Alph, he waits patiently in stasis, waiting until, huh, what do you know? Chaos has pushed the eldar and the imperium to desperate measures. Who shows up with the xenos creepy stuff to fix up the big blue’s body and bring him out of stasis?
Why, the very people who told Alph this would happen all along. So Guilliman (Alpharius?) is revived, and some how, some way miraculously makes his way to Terra, after things all sort of..conveniently slide into place to give him a leg up on his pursuers....hmmm, are those pesky 20th legionaries doing something we don’t know about?
And boy, what do you know? That army he had put in place (and now bears his geneseed encoded in their bodies) is ready and ripe for combat. Of course everyone, EVERYONE would want Guilliman, the greatest tactical mind of the 18 primarchs to lead a new crusade in the name of saving mankind and the galaxy. So suddenly now he is in charage of the Imperium’s war machine. And huh, wouldn’t you know it, those pesky Primaris marines made from a certain primarch’s gene stock are now...suddenly..inside...everyone..else’s.. chapter...
Oh wait...didn’t the eldar say the galaxy couldn’t be saved? Hmmm, guess just like his drop on the Cabal, Alph (Guilliman) has other ideas...he always was such a loyal son...
