'''Qalec''' was a [[Psion]] of the [[Imperial Cabal]] and a member of [[Yirix]]'s conspiracy to assassinate Commander [[Zavala]] to complete [[Amtec]]'s mission to avenge the deaths of [[Niruul, the Hollow Voice|Niruul]], [[Ozletc, the Sky Piercer|Ozletc]], and [[Tazaroc, the Sun Eater|Tazaroc]].

==Biography==
After [[Ignovun, Chosen of Caiatl]], was defeated in a [[Rite of Proving]] against [[Guardian]] champions selected by the [[Vanguard]] to determine the terms of a treaty between the [[Cabal]] Empire and [[Humanity]], Qalec conspired with [[Valir]] to set up the assassination of Commander [[Zavala]] at the ceremony marking the end of hostilities on [[Nessus]]. While Valir accompanied [[Empress Caiatl]] to participate in the ceremony and get close to strike the final blow, Qalec set up on a nearby ridge with a sniper rifle equipped with [[Light]]-draining technology to disable Zavala's [[Ghost]], [[Targe]]. Watching as Valir got close to the Commander with the ceremonial blade, Qalec fired and disabled the Ghost. However, Zavala's bodyguard, [[Uldren Sov|Crow]], intercepted the fatal blow and Caiatl killed Valir. With their plot foiled, Qalec ran but was swiftly hunted down and captured by a member of Caiatl's [[Imperial Guard]]s.<ref name="PG">'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Proving Ground]]''</ref>

Brought before Empress Caiatl, Qalec was forced to listen as she listed his crimes in an address to the entire Cabal Empire and denounced him as a coward for running when their plot was foiled and Valir died with honor. He was stricken of his name for his crimes and treason before being declared a stain on the history of the Cabal Empire and executed with a single gunshot as an example to any others who might follow in his example. [[Yirix]] and the remaining conspirators were subsequently hunted for by both the Empire and Vanguard.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[H.E.L.M.]] Radio Message: [[H.E.L.M.#Qalec's_Execution|Qalec's Execution]]''</ref>

Qalec would later be recreated by the [[The Lunar Pyramid|Lunar Pyramid]] as a [[Nightmare]], serving the will of [[Emperor Calus]]. [[Nightmare of Qalec, the Sniper|The assassin's phantom]] would be encountered by the [[Guardians]]s aboard the [[Leviathan (ship)|Derelict Leviathan]] when the vessel reemerged in [[Sol System|Sol]], above the [[Moon]].<ref>'''Bungie (2022/5/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Haunted]] - [[Patrol]]: [[Leviathan (ship)|Derelict Leviathan]]''</ref>
