An interesting theory that would explain the secrecy surrounding their founding. An added thought is what if they were originally Alpha Legion? I had an idea of what if Alpharius & Omegon had a bust up with one - probably Omegon - turning to chaos with the other - maybe Alpharius - feeling regret & remorse wanting to surrender to the Emperors Judgement. In this conflict Alpharius would lose & flee with a small part of the Legion loyal to him. His ship would encounter ships of the Blood Angels & Raven Guard who would deliver them in highest secrecy to Terra & bring Alpharius to the Emperors throne. The Emperor would judge that the Alpha Legion would forget it's origin & take a new identity, that of the Blood Ravens. As for Alpharius he may be given a penance, maybe giving up his name & living in closely guarded isolation (with the Raven Guard maybe) until such time as the Emperor deems it time to redeem himself. Dramatic I know but it would fit beautifully in the story and add the twins sundering to that of the Legions and it would add a terrific back story to the Blood Ravens & given their feud with the Alpha Legion it would shock the shiznit out of them.
