Eight months after Ghaul's death, he ordered a massive [[Red Legion]] fleet to attack the [[Leviathan]], causing [[Emperor Calus]] to request his assassination by a [[Guardian]] raid team. He was subsequently taken down by Guardians aboard the Leviathan's spire, ending his reign over the Legion and marking the apparent end of the Red War. He is the final boss of the [[Spire of Stars]] [[Raid Lair]]. | ||

In the vacancy that was left behind by Ghaul's death, Val Ca'uor took advantage of the power vacuum and quickly asserted himself as the commander of the Red Legion. After [[Xol, Will of the Thousands]] was defeated, Val Ca'uor led a fleet against the [[Leviathan]] in order to kill [[Emperor Calus]] and seize the ship for Red Legion purposes.

After [[Xol, Will of the Thousands]] was [[The Whisper|"defeated"]], Val Ca'uor led a fleet against the [[Leviathan]] in order to kill [[Emperor Calus]] and seize the ship for Red Legion purposes. His forces occupied the Spire of Stars, and they raided the spire and killed many of Calus's troops and commanders. Ca'uor was intercepted at the Celestial Observatory just as he struck down one of Calus's robotic proxies. In the following battle, he was overpowered by the team as they use the Leviathan's defenses to destroy his fleet, killing him in a final showdown afterward. | ||

Ca'uor will initially be immune to damage and will attack with his Magma Launcher as well as summoning waves of ads. After some time clearing the adds, Ca'uor will glow purple and will launch a ball at one of the four plates. At this point, everyone in the fireteam will get the Greed debuff, which must be removed before it reaches eleven stacks or they will die. To do that, all players must pass the ball around between each other, and the last player who obtains the ball throws it at Ca'uor. | ||
Once the first phase is over, three random players will obtain the Superior Retainer buff. The plates in the front of the room will have red beams of light on them, signaling that a [[Gladiator]] is coming down via Ripper Pods onto the plates. Once the Gladiators are down, four players must stand on the plates, and one of the Superior Retainer buffed players must go up the red light shaft in front of Ca'uor and call out which ships need to be destroyed and their corresponding symbols, as with the previous encounter. At this point, two more balls will be launched at two random plates. Two other players must take the balls to the mist in front of Ca'uor, and will be afflicted by the Greed debuff. They must throw it at the fireteam members standing on the correct symbols, who will then throw it at the generators to arm the Leviathan's weapons. After this is done, the plates will receive two more balls players and must throw it to two Superior Retainers, who will then run into the mist, and throw the balls at the ships that were previously called out. | Once the first phase is over, three random players will obtain the Superior Retainer buff.
