Editing Crimson Consuls (section)

==Trivia==
*Important note: the “Alpharius” in the story reveals to Artegall that he is in fact an Alpha Legion <i>Captain</i> known as '''Quetzal Carthach''', a [[Chaos Lord]] who had made his life mission to wipe out Ultramarine successors. The Captain in his title may say more about how his force is organized than he lets on. Quetzal would later reappear in the book ''Sons of the Hydra'' where he was busy fucking over more Ultramarines for shits and giggles. Apparently he claims that he was on Eskrador when Alpharius died, (this is doubted by the novel’s main character, another Alpha Legionnaire from a separate warband) and that this is the reason for his hatred of Ultramarine chapters, towards whom he has a superiority/inferiority complex. Notably both the Long Games at Carcharias and Sons of the Hydra were written by Rob Sanders. In the end Quetzal was devoured by warp beasts after being outplayed by Occam, the aforementioned Legionnaire whom he tried to betray. Still, over his long history and before his demise at the hands of his own legion, he would manage to cause the destruction of no less than ''four'' chapters near the [[Maelstrom]] region.
*It says a lot about how sneaky the Alpha Legion is that they were able to sneak past the veritable fuckton of Orks on the <i>Revenant Rex</i> to screw around with the Warp-Drive. Maybe they also teleported to that exact Enginarium just as the ill-fated Crimson Consuls 1st Company did?
*Who knew that the Alpha Legion was into painting graffiti?
*These poor sods are not to be confused with the Red Consuls, who are coincidentally <i>another</i> barely-known literature-only Ultramarines Successor Chapter with a shade of red and "Consuls" in their name. Unlike the Crimson Consuls, the Red Consuls are still very much alive (for the most part at least), and they were among the forces who took part in the assault on the Necron [[The World Engine|World Engine.]]
