History

A shadow of mystery surrounds Omega Hydra. Little is know of its existence, secret to all but Asartes of the XXth legion and select human operatives. In place of the Alpha Legions XXth company and lead by Omegon himself, Omega Hydra is much bigger than standard Astartes company strength. The Hydra is broken down into many smaller groups. These Groups known as "Nests" or "Cells" can, if needed, operate independently, each having all necessary infrastructure in place for any eventuality that may occur, from Intelligence operatives embedded within Imperial and traitor factions to "sleeper" Headhunter and extraction teams held ready in a hibernation state until called upon. Depending on their task, each cell will have a specific organisation. Each with the ability to self support for an indefinite period of time. It has been known for more than one cell to combine for a certain task, only to split off again upon its completion. If the situation demands the whole of Omega Hydra will combine to complete a task. This very rarely happens as it leaves each of the Cells current tasks unattended. Only in extreme circumstances will Omegon call for "Olympus Protocol" to be put into effect. The last know instances of this was the prior to the Infiltration of the Raven Guard at Istvaan and following the compliance action at Nurth. Upon receiving Olympus orders, Hydra extraction teams deploy to retrieve operatives in the field or in extreme circumstances, Headhunter Kill teams under direct command of an Astartes (or more than one astartes) named Exodus are deployed to end missions early. Each group works directly to one of ten Cell Commanders, usually a Sub-praetor or Captain from the XXth legion, who reports to Praetor Tanos "The Viper" Nessus who is second only to Omegon. Each of the Cells Commanders communicate with each other as well as The Viper and Omegon, disseminating intelligence to all ranks of the Hydra via an intricate code system known as the Labyrinth, so no member of Omega Hydra is unaware of the situation.

In addition to the covert Cells in operation, Omega Hydras main force is a strike team code named "The Vipers Nest". Comprising of over one hundred Alpha Legion Astartes, including tactical, assault marines and various support elements from fast attack Jetbike squads to super heavy vehicles. The Vipers Nest conducts decapitation strikes on key enemy infrastructure and command echelons. Operating independently or as lead elements, taking out planetary defence, allowing the remainder of the legion to deploy uncontested.

Commanded by Praetor Tanos Nessus (although in larger operations Omegon himself) The Viper prefers leading from the front astride his Scimitar Jetbike surrounded by his command squad. The viper strikes with the speed and precision of his namesake, with the remainder of the Nest attacking with unparalleled destruction. Attacking from multiple directions causing disarray and confusion throughout the enemy ranks, with Alpha legion operatives embedded months earlier revealing themselves providing weaknesses for the Vipers Nest to exploit.

Allegiances of Omega Hydra and by extension Omegon, have been questionable of late. Seeming to move with their own agenda withholding vital intelligence and equipment that would further the Warmasters war effort. The future intentions of Omega Hydra remain unknown.

Known Members

Omegon

The greatest secret about the Alpha Legion Primarch is apparently told to none outside the Legion, and has always been thus. For, unlike any of the other Primarchs, Alpharius has an identical twin: Omegon. It is unknown if the Emperor designed this, or was ever even aware of it. Alpharius and Omegon are both the Primarch of the Legion, although 'Alpharius' is the public face and appears as the more senior of the two. Though as both are identical it is possible for them to switch roles and have 'Omegon' play the public role. They have been described as "one soul in two bodies" and collectively have been referred to as simply "Alpharius Omegon" While the Astartes of the Alpha Legion, once at least, made an attempt to all look alike, both Alpharius and Omegon were still somewhat distinctive. Taller than the rest of the Legion, slightly copper-skinned, bald and possessed of a heavy brow, they somewhat resembled their brother, Horus. Unlike him, Alpharius and Omegon had piercing eyes that seemed to glitter, appearing to shift colour from a cold arctic blue to a shimmering green. The overall impression was one of nobility and intelligence. One way to tell the two apart was when Omegon was performing as commander of Effrit Stealth Squad; large portions of his power armour and gear were painted black and otherwise darkened. The armour worn by Alpharius was not particularly different from that of an ordinary Alpha Legionnaire.

Praetor Tanos "The Viper" Nessus

As Omegon's trusted advisor and friend, The Viper commands Omega Hydra in Omegon's stead. Carrying a large spear with a paragon blade as his primary weapon, Tanos is a shrewd and cunning commander always in the thick of battle when the need arrises, leading from the front and leading the hydra lo greatness. His preferred mode of transport it his Scimitar Jetbike known as Venom. Tanos is able to read the flow of battle with an almost precognitive perception. Gauging the enemy's weak points and striking before they even realise they are vulnerable. When not astride Venom and raging war on the legions enemies, The Viper takes his place at the Primarchs side within the Effrit stealth squad. Guiding and commanding the squads members allowing Omegon to control the greater war around them. Tanos is larger than your average Astartes, only a few inches shorter than the twin Primarchs and has a startling resemblance to Alpharius and Omegon. Tanos has three sets of armour that he will wear on different missions. His serpent scale blue armour paired with his jetbike venom, a stealth suit created from a set of MKVI Corvus armour, modified by Omegon as a gift to his most trusted friend and a set of cataphractii armour used for ship and Zone Mortallis warfare.

Exodus

So little information about him is available that none can say whether he was a single skilled individual or a number of assassins operating at the behest of Alpharius and Omegon. He was known to have been the most skilled killer outside of the ranks of the Officio Assassinorum. His marksmanship was said to rival that of a Vindicare Assassin. Some histories claim that as many as a dozen worlds were brought to compliance with only a single shot fired. By striking down a major enemy commander, Exodus was able to achieve with a single round what an entire war may not have been able to. Exodus's role within Omega Hydra is as "the final word" when a single decapitation shot is needed to bring an enemy to its knees. Exodus is also the commander of Omega Hydras Headhunter kill teams.

Moritat Exo Kern

Originally a Tactical squad Sgt within Omega Hydra, Exo Kerns squad was annihilated whilst taking an objective from the Salamanders legion at Istvaan V. Exo Kern held the objective for two hours, single handedly repelling waves of enemy assaults forces until he was brought low by a salamander dreadnaught. Believed dead amongst the rubble of the En position, Exo was biding his time to strike back on the enemies that had retaken the position. Having repaired his armour from dead Alpha Legion Destroyer Marines, Exo Kern assaulted the bunker system from within using Rad grenades, phosbex grenades, his own plasma pistol and a looted plasma pistol from a dead salamander sgt. The pistols would later come to be know as Ying and Yang or fire and ice beacause of the twin weapons having one red power core and one blue. Exo Kern is a ruthless killer with very little he will not do or methods and weapons he will not use to accomplish his goals. After the events of Istvaan V Exo Kern was given the opportunity to lead another Tactical squad but instead declined the offer preferring to work alone from the shadows and was promoted to the rank of Consul-Moritat.
