Shadow Legion

"My faithful Shadow Legion, this is your glorious emperor speaking. Our alliance with the Witness bears such "delectable" fruits. [chuckles] Together, we will devour Sol!"

- Emperor Calus.

The Shadow Legion (also known as the Dark Cabal) is a Cabal Legion which serves the newly risen Disciple of the Witness, Emperor Calus and possess Pyramid tech to suppress the Guardian's powers.

Structure
"The Shadow Legion are not the Cabal we are used to. We must not assume their strategies or tactics. They do not fight for honor or glory. They fight only for the Witness."

- Mithrax.

Fundamentally, the Shadow Legion bears little differences to either Calus's Loyalists or even the Red Legion, but only augmented by Pyramid technology. Unlike the Loyalists during Season of the Haunted, however, a majority of the Shadow Legion's soldiers are mainly deserters and traitors to the empire while a small number are fully grown cloned Cabal and have no independent thought or higher-brain functions beyond following the will of Calus and The Witness. Prisoners of the Shadow Legion noted that when not being given orders, some of the soldiers just stand guard silently and breathe deeply, almost wheezing, which unnerved the prisoners more than anything. Devrim Kay would add to this during his recon missions on Shadow Legion troops, citing a lack of nuance in their voices, citing an "emptiness" within them.

One notable distinction within the Shadow Legion is that it employs the Tormentors, direct soldiers of The Witness, acting as either personal agents of Calus or as specialized field commanders to combat the Guardians thanks to their abilities to drain a Guardian of their powers. Further, due to their shared service to the Witness, the Shadow Legion has also been seen to fight alongside the Taken.
