He and his Ordo Omicron planted the first seeds of their plan several centuries ago. The plans of the Alpha Legion run very deep! Ever since then they have cultivated the beliefs of their cult, nurtured their operatives and grown their support base; brick by brick, soul by soul. There are only a couple of hundred Alpha Legion marines in the war band, but they continue to cause disproportionate problems for the Imperium.
Operating from their carefully cloaked war barge Perfidiae, they control their web of operatives and stir troubles, pirate important cargos, encourage mutant uprising, and look forward to the day when they can turn whole systems away from the false worship of the Emperor.
The Alpha Legion marines are looked on as demigods by many of their followers, who are by now convinced of the utter corruption and evil of the Ecclesiarchy and Administratum. The Emperor is still revered, with Chaos Undivided being seen as His creation whose message has been warped by the parasitic crows that run the Empire.
Gradually the cult is introducing its symbolism into the public sphere, with the number seven, seven-headed hydras, and orbs with seven-pointed halos. The eighth point, which would too-obviously be a chaos symbol, is "hidden" (often hidden behind an object, or portrayed in a less obvious colour, but sometimes simply omitted) and is known only to those initiated to the deepest levels of the cult.
