I'm going to bet that at least one of the twins is alive and is directing the Alpha Legion at present, though for all we know Guiliman could've just killed some random trooper instead of either considering their reputation.

As to whether or not they're traitors? I find it hard to believe that the Eldar would have much care about the 'mon-keighs', especially if it's true that the average Eldar would destroy countless human worlds to save one of their number. It seems more likely to me that it was just a ploy to get Alpharius to join Horus' side and cause the Imperium's slow decay (assuming that it's even true, knowing the Eldar and Legion respectively).

I doubt that Alpharius could be so easily killed by Guiliman considering that he was a master strategist (perhaps even better than Rouboute given his unorthodox tactics) and had a Legion that specifically looked like him and called themselves 'Alpharius' as well, it's more likely that Rouboute just killed some random marine and thought he'd accomplished the task.

I wouldn't be so sure on that, the fact that the Legion operates outside of the Warp and Eye of Terror makes their gene seed quite stable compared to other chaos space marines, they use cultists a lot because they blend in easier, not necessarily because their numbers are thinning.

Omegon an insignificant leader? What warp dust have you been snorting? He commanded the Alpha Legion's best operatives and probably had the same training as Alpharius. Not to mention that oh I dunno, he was a primarch? Born and bred specifically to command people?
