By the time that the Red War had ended with the death of [[Dominus Ghaul]], Calus and his [[Loyalists]] had begun inviting Guardians to the [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]] including Katabasis.

At one point, Katabasis played a role in a [[Loyalist]] operation to secure a stray [[Hive]] [[War moon]] on behalf of Calus. Converting the moon into an [[Athenaeum World]], Katabasis located the [[Crown of Sorrow]]: a Hive artifact of [[Ascendant Hive|Ascendant]] authority that held interest to the emperor wanting a Shadow to command said race.<ref name="Shadow Mask">'''Bungie (2019/06/04)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]]'', ''Activision Blizzard'', ''Item Description: [[Shadow of Silence Suit#Shadow's Mask|Shadow's Mask]]''</ref>

Katabasis and Gilgamesh were involved in an operation on [[Venus]] with [[Gaelin-4]] and his Ghost [[Clip]]. Katabasis mentioned that he could not return to the [[Tower (Destiny 2)|Tower]] after Gaelin offhandedly mentioned [[Amanda Holliday]]. He also stated that he and Gilgamesh were not on friendly terms and continues the line of conversation by stating that he did not trust Gilgamesh. Gaelin asked Katabasis if he believed Gilgamesh was changing him, but Katabasis did not respond to this.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/16)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Dead Man's Tale#Lore|Dead Man's Tale]]''</ref>

After several years working for the former emperor, Katabasis was gifted an imperial coin on [[Nessus]]; a royal invitation from Calus himself. At this point, he had doubts over whether to continue working as a Shadow, since he was heavily relied upon for jobs. Gilgamesh convinced him that the trust of an emperor was not something to squander since they had both worked hard to be acknowledged by him. Katabasis did not like the idea of being constrained to one side all the time. Gilgamesh then suggested he should immediately take up Calus' offer or immediately return to the City and wait for orders from an empty chair; citing the [[Guardian|Guardians]] on [[Europa]] who harnessed [[Stasis]] as an example to seek power. Katabasis ultimately relents as he considered taking up the invitation as his last job before retiring.<ref name="Gilgamesh"/>
