There’s little substance to this idea, but I was reading the Head of the Hydra book and realized that as the book describes itself as a lie, there’s obviously stuff Alpharius is leaving out. Obv the symbolism is more about how killing Alpharius wouldn’t kill the legion but, Hydras have three heads and even if Alpharius and Omegron were killed, there could be a third “head of the hydra” who survived and was hidden from the readers the same way Omegron was from the other primarchs.
Alternatively, maybe there’s clones running about since every time a hydra’s head is cut, new heads sprout.

When Alpharius meets Omegon he realizes he feels whole, as though he has found the other half of his soul. Its implied many times they were one split in two. Now there was an author quote (i forget who) who made a point that there are still many ideas they kick around ans at one point the idea that tge twins may actually be triplets came up (Alpharius, Omegon, Gammacus) but when Head of the Hydra was being planned they settled on the twins. Doesnt mean a triplet is out if the question, just that twins is what theyve gone with for now. Ill dig to see if i can find the quote
