He could have returned but Ingo Pech was just gone. John does give several suggestions about how Ingo might be able to escape by himself before he leaves him. Since John was attacked there by another marine and the Palace forces still above him, I doubt he would have stuck around that location for any length of time.

Assuming this might hold some importance : French here. La "Maison Dieu" is a major arcana from the Tarot Card of Marseille (French city) and is practically this Tarot's version of the "Tower"' (with the lightning striking the Tower of Babel). However, where the Tower is generally a symbol of catastrophe, "la Maison Dieu" is instead associated with change, transformation, regeneration, rebuilding, etc. In this version, the top of the Tower is opened, with a flame erupting from it, with two people falling to the ground. It's left to interpretation if the fire is a result of an internal cause (like some experiment gone wrong) or the result of a stroke of lightning (like in the usual "Tower" card and the Tower of Babel story). The card is basically a symbol of destruction, leading or opening to a beneficial reconstruction. It's inversed version however, warns of crisis and failure. Make of that what you will.

Valdore with an army of Alpha Legion Marines would be incredible.

So basically, from what I understand from the new lore on Alpha Legion.... Alpharius (real Alpharius) is actually a loyalist because of the fact that he sent the command code "Zephon" to Ingo and his squad of marines to programme them to be loyal to the emperor, but that command got intercepted by a filler-NPC character pysker witch that somehow re-programmed that command code to "Orpheus" to side with chaos against their will and Ingle being somewhat aware of being compromised made a "on-the-low" move to have a landmine taped to his chest to prevent the filler-NPC character pysker witch from using him on the chessboard against the imperium....?

I want to agree, Orpheus is a name the King has used while acting as a saint.

As always when discussing the Alpha Legion my head hurts. However I may be seeing the pattern as how Valdor has created so many marines in his pocket dimension. Alpha Legion stole the process for speeding up the creation of space marines from Corax during the heresy. And in another book, I cant remember the name of they have begun the process of studying primaris marines. Getting samples from dead marines. So the alpha legion is in some form helping Valdor? I love the sons of the Hydra, but man they are confusing. Good video by the way.

Just watched your Alpha Legion vids today, great timing

Hydra Dominatus

Knowing the usual tactic of the Alpha Legion? If he is Deathrow, then likey he completed his assignment after being freed by whomever, sent orders for legionnaires to infiltrate Chaos under the guise of 'being allies' and then went on with Eisenhorn to some goal he's pursuing. It would make sense then for big battles like Vraks (or others where the Alpha Legion shows up) to have some severe 'mishaps' and 'misfortunes' fall on the Chaos side and stop the steamroll.

This needs to be more widely seen and discussed. Great video.

Alpha legion continue to confuse literally everyone, including themselves.

NileRed's secret Warhammer lore channel back at it again.

I wonder do any Alpha Legionnaires wake up in the morning and just go "Damn, this is exhausting. Wish I was just sneaking about in the Raven Guard.'

i had just finished the original eisenhorn trilogy. i didnt realise ravenor had his own trilogy so thats next on my list before i hit the bequin books

Oh yesss! I can't wait to hear you cover my favorite 40k character John Grammaticus.

On the bright side, Grammaticus is now probably gone five-ever.

Let me get that long lore video baby!!

OH god I just heard you say that you are Chrono the Harlequin!! :D Love your work mate! Instant subscribed.

Y’all wanna know what’s coming? The Tyranids will make for Terra and Eisenhorn will find Valdor with bequin, cerubieal (it’s Samus), and a number of others who will needs to get into the throne room via the imperial webway given the Terran system is swarmed. They will somehow find Fabius cawl or pho and have him make an anti nix bio weapon and save the day.

This gives real hope to the rise and return of several legions, Lion returning, Corvus alive, Clonegrim and Alpharius(Omegon with a mustache), Russ, Jhagathai and Vulkan, Heck, even Dorn has been hinted to still be alive. Sounds like an epic square off if i have ever heard i have ever heard one

I really want there to be a confirmed, new loyalist sect of AL. Though I'd assume in the modern age they'd have to be rebranded and carefully monitored. Being and AL fan is a long...patient experience man...

Did it ever get said for sure if Samus was the thing following the traveling buddies throughout time and space? Or was that left on the table?

Only 15 minutes, & wondering how many more questions I'll have about them then answered by the time this is done.

Appreciate it Big fan of the alpha legion Love what they stand for love what they do thank you for providing any Lord all considering almost no one else does

You know, completely forgot about the lack of Ingo in volume 3, guess its probably gonna be one of those hanging threads that doesn't get addressed until GW fancies it (so never)

Connecting the loose end of Ingo Pech to Death Row makes complete sense, considering all of the callbacks (forwards?) that Dan Abnett seeded into EATD. If Death Row isn’t Pech himself, then he could be connected to him. Possibly one of the stasis AL warriors.

Glad you did this one. They are odd bunch.

I don’t know much about the Eisenhorn stories, but I’m really hoping Ingo isn’t gone. I’d rather not have my Harrowmaster canonically die in the Imperial basement.

Here's a completely wild thought: we know about Alpharius and Omegon. But how many heads does the Alpha Legion Hydra symbol have? What if there's a *third* primarch brother, who's been switching sides back and forth the whole time?

We don’t know they were loyal at the end of the heresy. Personally I think Alpharious was trying to defect in praetorian of dorn.

if valdor poked ingo with his spear a truth would be revealed to him, so, possible

Well the EC Chaos marine recognizes Deathrow when he break or tears off Deathrow’s mask (been to long, can’t remember which). When he sees Deathrow’s face he says something like “You? How?” Now true, the AL legionnaires were made to look like Alpharius but this EC chaos marine is one of the OGs back to the heresy. He would know the AL legionnaires were made to look like Alpharius, to one degree or another. But this particular one he *knows*. That tells me Deathrow is not just any old AL legionnaire. Was Ingo Pech that noticeable and well known to the other legions? Or is Deathrow finally making an honest statement of “I am Alpharius.”

I just hope Ingo Pech does activate the Marines as loyalist like ordered. It would create an opposition for Harrowmaster and his bullshit. And please for Emperor's sake, bring the remaining Primarch back in some extent, just waiting for the Heresy era loyalist to awake under the palace to mark his return to the setting or something.
