Alpharius/Omegon despite being twin primarchs have been shown to be at odds with each other, both helping and hindering the Horus Heresy to varying degrees. Therefore it is possible that one is a loyalist while the other is a traitor. Consider the following evidence:

===Undermining Horus and the Traitor cause===
The Alpha Legion's first victory in the [[Horus Heresy]] was claiming the Forge World of Paramar, which was left in such a state that Horus had to garrison the world with substantial forces earmarked for warzones elsewhere just to maintain control over it (partly because Loyalist Iron Warriors took a hand during the conquest). When [[Horus]] called Alpharius out on this bullshit, the encrypted response was '''"The Devil is not Mocked"''' which is an oblique reference to a [[Bullshit|meaningful proverb]] (the full saying of which goes "When evil faces evil, the Devil is not mocked"); the moral being just because they're both evil doesn't mean they're on the same side, and that a major evil badass won't automatically consider a smaller, also evil upstart his equal.

When the White Scars eventually left the Chondax system, an Alpha Legion "fleet" ''(actually made up of several "fake" battlecruisers with [[Abbadon|no real teeth]])'' arrived to hold them in position long enough to receive orders from [[Rogal Dorn]] to return to Terra. Mortarion has no idea what that was meant to achieve (the mission was apparently to give them misinformation about Prospero and con them into helping a different, non-toothless Alpha fleet to wipe out the Space Wolves) and comments that Alpharius will end up "throttling" himself with all his schemes. Given that the other fleet did its best to wipe out the Wolves, it suggests two Primarchs working towards two different goals.

The Alpha Legion saved Corax and the survivors of Istvaan from the World Eaters. If Corax died, the Raven Guard would have been finished and out of the war for good ''(much like the Salamanders were)''. Instead, the Alpha Legion infiltrated the Raven Guard and let them get away to go get genetech from the Emperor to rebuild, since Omegon was forewarned of this turn of events by the Cabal. Omegon and his infiltrators managed to [[Blood Ravens|steal]] a version of the genetech for himself, and sabotaged the Raven Guard's copy and turned their Marines into mutants, and gave another copy of the sabotaged design to Horus. The upshot is that no one could really benefit from the ability to supercharge making Marines other than Omegon himself, and the Raven Guard managed to rebuild enough to rejoin the war towards the end and still have enough marines left over to split into successor chapters.

===Alpharius vs Omegon===
Alpharius/Omegon sided with [[Horus]] despite being explicitly told by [[The Cabal]] prior to the Heresy that if Horus won it would mean the end of the human race but the ultimate victory against Chaos. While if the Emperor won it would mean humanity survives long enough to see the decay and eventual death of the galaxy. A Catch 22 with '''two''' undesirable outcomes, but hey, the Alpha Legion has two Primarchs, go figure?
*By the time of ''Vulkan Lives'', the Cabal have apparently written off their "Alpharius Gambit" as a failure, despite from all appearances that the Alpha Legion joined Horus just like they wanted.

Omegon discretely plotted against Alpharius to destroy an Alpha Legion facility which was causing warp storms and preventing the [[White Scars]] from returning to Terra. If this facility was not destroyed the White Scars would not have been present during the final battle.
*Evidence of one brother conspiring against the other? Just like the rest of the Horus Heresy. Just because they are twins it doesn't mean they are always of the same mindset.

In '''Vengeful Spirit''' by Graham McNeill, during a conversation between Malcador and the Emperor, Malcador reveals that the Dark Angels had come to the aid of Leman Russ and the Space Wolves against the Alpha Legion, to which the Emperor replies: ''"Alpharius...my son, what chance did you give my dream?"'' This line is actually very important on many levels. First it indicates that the Emperor is either unaware that Alpharius Omegon is actually two twin Primarchs, which seems unlikely given his whole creation of them using parts of his godlike power and psyche (all the more so given that when Word Bearers were shown a vision of the birthing vault "too many limbs" were visible in pod XX), '''or''' that he IS aware of their dual nature but knows that, while Alpharius could give up on the Emperor's dream, Omegon would never ''actually'' turn on him. If this latter part is the truth, it could indicate that Alpharius and Omegon haven't always been together.

In '''Seventh Serpent''' also by Graham McNeill, a sizable fleet of Alpha Legion Loyalists was preparing to join the war effort, until Traitor-Alpharius manipulates the Shattered Legion Loyalists into destroying them, under the ironic pretext of assassinating "Alpharius".
*Alpharius refers to himself here as ''"the one and only"'', which at a stretch might be a subtle hint that he has done away with his twin. As the existence of his twin is a monumental secret that there would be no need to draw attention to the fact there is only one of him, short of [[Primarch|ego]] that is.
*The Loyalist Alpha Legionnaires queried ''"which one of them is it?"'' upon realising that other Alpha Legionnaires were in orbit. Then later determined ''"You're one of <u>his</u>"'' as if the distinction between the two Primarchs mattered at this point.

===Formation of Malcador's Grey Knights===
Despite the Alpha Legion stealing the ORIGINAL genetic template of the Primarchs, they handed false information to Horus which would never have resulted in anything useful.

The said [[Genestealer|stolen genetic information]] was never utilized by the traitor Alpha Legion either, even after 10,000 years, even when they could have been producing "[[Primaris Marines|super]]" space marines!
But hey? aren't [[Grey Knights]] an "original" space marine chapter with NO known Primarch? with psychic powers? [[Mary Sue|AND]] an unusual resistance to corruption? And [[Matt Ward|supposedly]] improved genetic template?
*Also 7th edition Grey Knights Codex hints that it has traits that none of the Legions Gene-Seed has ''(such as making the purer/more resilient to Warp Corruption (read Castellan Crowe's entry))'' which would mean that they are an entirely new strain of Gene-Seed and someone would have needed the knowledge/data to be able to create it.
*The Emperor's Gift novel has a Grey Knight outright say their gene-seed was derived directly from the Emperor rather than any Primarch. While it would go a long way in explaining how the Grey Knights are so Grey Knightly, it could certainly be the case that the Knights are [[Pretend|told this]] to keep them from asking questions. Especially since the Emperor had no gene-seed and no unique organs, just a ton of psychic power.
