Ghaul is adorned in large white armor with red and gold detailing, and is often seen without a helmet, sporting a metal facemask instead. He also has albinism, given his pale skin and deep red eyes. Ghaul appears to be an adept strategist, choosing to launch his invasion during a severe thunderstorm that concealed his warships from visual detection until it was too late.

On the battlefield, Ghaul is a ruthless and domineering 15 foot tall warlord, taller than most of his kind, going as far as to conquer an entire civilization at the behest of his people's benefit, demonstrating a cold lack of care and sympathy for other alien races outside of the [[Cabal]], excluding the [[Psion]] and [[War Beast]] races. Ghaul is also incredibly physically strong for a member of his race, being able to effortlessly send a fully armored [[Titan]] flying into the air just by kneeing him.

Ghaul also views himself with high esteem to the point of arrogance, condescendingly calling [[The Guardian]] a "creature," telling them to not to look at him afterward. In addition, he believes that he alone is worthy of the Traveler's Light and its gifts. Therefore, he feels that the Guardians don't deserve the Traveler's Light as him and his people do, displaying traits of megalomania. Despite this, he originally wanted to prove that he was worthy of the Traveler's Light rather than simply take it. He states to the Speaker that in taking the Light by force, he would be admitting his own failure in proving his own worth. In a cutscene, he speaks about his fascination with the Traveler and how he has studied it and it's movements across the stars. He is intrigued by it's ability to bestow the light upon species and how it gave immortality, through the Ghosts, to the Guardians. He questions the Speaker on how to be deemed worthy by the Traveler and gifted with immortality, wanting to put the knowledge to his own use. He is disappointed however, when the Speaker tells him that the Light can only be given to him through death. | Ghaul also views himself with high esteem to the point of arrogance, condescendingly calling [[The Guardian]] a "creature," telling them to not to look at him afterward.
