The Cabal is a group of xenos races determined to fight Chaos, mentioned in a number of the Horus Heresy novels, primarily Legion. At least one Eldar, one human (and a Perpetual to boot), and possibly the Watchers in the Dark were included (they totally were). Other races include intelligent atmospheric layers, a small and not-dickish omniglot insectoid, and contemporaries of the Old Ones known as the Old Kind that possibly included living Old Ones themselves. They would have invited the Emperor, but he really is a bloodthirsty bastard.
They are the group responsible for Alpharius' (and Omegon's) treachery, as they told him he had two options:
- 1: The Emperor wins and the galaxy is plunged into 10,000 years of stagnation, during which time Chaos will grow steadily more powerful, eventually consuming the galaxy and all living things in it.
- 2: The Emperor dies, Horus wins, and the galaxy is plunged into Chaos. However, Horus's guilt over having killed the Emperor would lead him to self-destructively trying to destroy the human race, and the Chaos Gods, having gorged themselves on human emotions, would collapse along with them; non-human life in the galaxy would survive, however.
Later events imply that neither Alpharius nor Omegon fully believed these, although they disagreed with what would happen. Either regarding these visions as false or at least trying to find another option, the twins have started working against each other.
No such group exists, and no such Space Marine Legion ever existed. To suggest otherwise is heresy of the highest order.
