Biography
Arrival
It is debatable as if Alighieri arrived on Terra or simply failed to leave it.
It has been suggested that his stature and lack of distance are somehow interlinked - each representing a lack of whatever it is that makes a Primarch a Primarch. Additionally it is debated as to which is the cause and which is the effect.
His early years are a complete blank as he seems to have no impact on the Unification Wars at all -either for or against the Imperium.
He claims to have been raised by Katarina the Pirate Queen of the Pan-Pacific Empire (a feared lieutenant Narthan Dume) of he says claimed to be his mother. This seems unlikely given that Katarina was known to have an all female crew. He claims he was abandoned by her and so avoiding the fate of those that opposed the Unification of Terra. Alighieri claims to have been abandoned on the streets to fend for himself due the disruption his womanising was causing amongst Katarina crew. Given a Primarchs accelerated development this is possible - although Alighieri says he showed no other signs of such rapid development and claims he was just "an early starter".
What is clear is that Alighieri fall in with the disreputable elements that seem an inevitable consequence of complicated human society. There is no evidence of him leading any gangs or groups - and he seems to have avoided the attention of the Legio Custodes beyond being considered 'a disreputable sort but fun to drink with'.
Rise to Power
It is unclear at what point he raised his ambitions entirely out of the gutter but at some point the Lord of Terra begin to experience a series of increasingly daring thefts. Starting with the merely wealthy but soon escalating up the wealth scale. These thefts involved very little violence and tended to focus on the rich rather then the powerful. After a while a number of clues pointed that some of these thefts were linked together and the person responsible was labelled "The Gentleman Bandit" by high society.
Large number of the stolen objects were recovered but it was never possible to track them back to the person who originally stole them.
At the same time Alighieri more openly begin to obtain a reputation amongst a certain sort of high class lady as 'pleasant' company - especially amongst bored trophy wives or mistresses. It was this that would lead to his discovery.
