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 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, having gorged itself on human emotions, Chaos would collapse; 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.

No such group exists, and no such Space Marine Legion ever existed. To suggest otherwise is heresy of the highest order.
