Centuries after taking power in the Cabal Empire, [[Primus Ta'aun]] of the [[Skyburners]] legion sent a report to the Cabal High Command detailing the destruction of [[Fleetbase Korus]] on [[Phobos]] at the hands of a [[Hive]] fleet led by [[Oryx, the Taken King]]. This report reached Ghaul who gave Ta'aun explicit orders to board the [[Dreadnaught]] and eliminate Oryx. Following the [[Taken|taking]] of Ta'aun and the deaths of [[Valus Mau'ual]] and [[Valus Tlu'urn]], Cabal forces on the [[Dreadnaught]] sent a detailed distress signal to Ghaul.

Following Ghaul's death and the liberation of the Last City, the Red Legion maintain a foothold in the Sol System but have become seriously weakened and demoralized at the loss of their leader. Eventually, command of the Red Legion was usurped by [[Val Ca'uor]], who sought to revitalize the legion by acquiring energy and supplies from [[Mars]] and [[Mercury]] respectively. However, such campaigns lead to further conflicts with the Guardians, the Vex and the [[Grasp of Nokris]] Hive faction. | Following Ghaul's death and the liberation of the Last City, the Red Legion maintain a foothold in the Sol System but have become seriously weakened and demoralized at the loss of their leader.

==Trivia== | |||
*The name "''Gary''",<ref name="Rally the Troops">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJLAJVmggt0 '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny 2 – “Destiny 2 Gameplay Premiere Livestream (US)'']</ref> as Cayde calls him, has quickly evolved to a memetic status amongst the community. | |||
*Ghaul is the first Cabal character to be observed fluently speaking English, and the fifth overall antagonist to do so. How he has learned a human language remains unknown. | |||
*[[Luke Smith]] has compared Ghaul to [[wikipedia:Hans Gruber|Hans Gruber]] from the ''Die Hard'' series.<ref>[http://au.ign.com/articles/2017/05/18/destiny-2-new-single-player-gameplay-details-revealed '''IGN''' - ''DESTINY 2: NEW SINGLE PLAYER, CAMPAIGN, GAMEPLAY DETAILS REVEALED'']</ref> | |||
*Dominus Ghaul is voiced by {{Plain|[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0090464/ Neil Kaplan]}}.<ref>[https://twitter.com/NeKap/status/869693800544849920 '''Twitter''' - ''I. AM. GHAUL. #Destiny2'']</ref> | |||
*Ghaul was once known as the Ghost Primus. | |||
*Ghaul shows a resemblance to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Malgus Darth Malgus] from Star Wars: The Old Republic. | |||
*Ironically, Ghaul’s insistence on the validity of a “might makes right” philosophy to gain access to the Light more closely aligns with [[The Sword Logic]], and thus the professed aims of the Darkness. | |||
**This would explain during his fight that his “Light” appears more corrupted. | |||
*Ghaul is the only Non-Human to become a [[Lightbearer]], albeit forcefully. | |||
