Certainly Horus or Fulgrim wouldn't do it, but Alpharius seems much more down to earth - actually talking to regular humans in an almost 'chatty' way.<BR/><BR/>Don't forget, he was the last to be found - would have spent much longer among normals humans than the other primarchs, and would have had more interaction with them. Plus, due to how he naturally is (vague wording to avoid spoilers) he'd never have grown up with the same superiority complex all the others had.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-19984298787218276222008-03-09T01:43:00.000+00:002008-03-09T01:43:00.000+00:00Dammit...I got confused about who was talking abou...Dammit...<BR/><BR/>I got confused about who was talking about <I>which</I> book.<BR/><BR/>Writing on an author's blog makes me uncomfortably aware of my grammar.
