Consul

"The City is secure. Those who fled, are being hunted, and those fools that remain have been executed."

- The Consul

The Consul is a disgruntled Cabal Praetorate leader and the mentor of Dominus Ghaul. He is the secondary antagonist of Destiny 2.

Biography
The Consul was once a member of the Cabal Praetorate who became disillusioned with Dominus Calus's peaceful rule and ideals. At some point, he stumbled upon Ghaul, a young orphan who had been left for dead. Realizing that Ghaul could be the potential key to usurping Calus, he raised and instilled his hateful ideals into Ghaul, growing him into a ruthless warlord.

Thousands of years prior to Destiny, the Consul acted upon his plans, as he helped organize the Praetorate against Dominus Calus, all of whom were led by Ghaul. During the rebellion, Calus was usurped, and exiled to the Leviathan as punishment.

During the closing stages of the Cabal invasion of the Last City, aboard The Immortal, The Consul approached Dominus Ghaul as he was interrogating The Speaker, reporting that the Traveler was secure, and the remaining Guardian forces had been executed within The Last City.

Traits
The Consul is a large Cabal sporting heavy but worn-down, ancient armor, with red paint worn away in some places to reveal gunmetal backing, and a ragged black cape. He does not wear a helmet, and his arms are completely exposed. Additionally, The Consul sports metal covers over his fingertips. In his youth, The Consul's armor was heavier and more imposing, with large spikes atop his shoulders.
