Talk:Effrit Stealth Squad

Ave Imperator!

Are we sure that the Effrit Stealth Squad is an unique unit? I was rereading Seventh Serpent when it ocurred to me that both Primarch could actually be leading elite Infiltration squads. While Legion states that both Primarchs took to the field, wouldn’t it make sense that their should be an equivalent to the Effrit Stealth Squad that would be led by Alpharius?

Seventh Serpents mentions an "Alpha Legion Infiltrator" by the name of Seyhan that successfully infiltrated the Iron Hands contigent of the Sysipheum (by masquerading as Septus Thoic) to assassinate an Emperor-loyal Legate of the Alpha Legion that went by the name of Chaitin. It is revealed later that one of the twin Primarchs was in fact masquarading as Shadrak Meduson to hunt down Chaitin. Now here is where it becomes interesting. We all know that several individuals claimed the identity of Alpharius,especially in ''Legion. ''While it makes no doubt that the Iron Hands and their allies indeed faced a Primarch we do not truly known if it is really Alpharius or Omegon that they are facing. However, two short sentences may reveal that this could in fact be Omegon and not Alpharius.

When still battling the Iron Hands the Primarch says "A worthy effort(...), but that’s all you get." which obviously refers to "Alpharius" phrase in Legion. However a bit later it is written:

(Sharrowkyn) " You’re Alpharius, aren’t you? The real one, I mean, not a doppelgänger or some homonculus?"

(Primarch) " I’m as real as I need to be right now."

While the answer is too cryptic to be of much use the confrontation continues, and on the very next page we can read:

(Sharrowkyn) "We Raven Guard are hard to kill. Istvaan should have taught you that."

(Primarch) "Clearly you haven’t heard what’s been happening on Deliverance" grinned Alpharius.

As it was Omegon that was on Kiavahr in Deliverance Lost and not Alpharius, the possibilty remains that Sharrowkyn was in fact facing Omegon. This would then mean that "Alpharius’" retinue would in fact be Effrit Stealth Suad a thus make the mysterious Seyhan and others members of Effrit Stealth Squad.

Is this enough to warran an edit on the Effri Stealth Squad as "Possible Members" or should I rather include it in Notable Alpha Legion Personnel on the main article?

I must say I like it that the list of known Alpha Legion officers and persona is so short on the main article (adds  a secretive/mysterious touch to it), and I kind of like the idea to let readers search a bit on the wiki for clues and informations.

So what do you guys (or girls?) think?
