Cabal: Difference between revisions

References in the Grimoire indicate that the Cabal have females serving in their rank and file.<ref name="Cabal 3"/><ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3lqcq1/have_you_read_the_book_of_sorrows_its_extremely/cv8mkdi/ '''reddit''' - ''Observance comments on Have you read the Book of Sorrows? It's extremely revealing about the origin of the Hive, and maybe the Darkness.'']</ref> However, they are indistinguishable from the males in gameplay, making the Cabal seem androgynous in human eyes. As shown by depictions of two female Cabal, Caiatl and Umun'arath, female Cabal have tusks, presumably due to an evolutionary history of fighting over male herds.<ref name = "CB"/> Recordings from the Councillor [[Match]] suggest that young female Cabal get 'first tusks', perhaps implying that these can be shed like the antlers on a deer. This is supported by certain unique Cabal enemies such as the European Aerial Zone [[Vrag, Sister of Tluam|Bond]] [[Tluam, Sister of Vrag|Sisters]], who lack tusks but are confirmed to be female. In prehistoric times, it is believed female Cabal would use their tusks to create cave carvings and to scrape lithium off the rock as an attempt to treat dark moods. <ref name = "Beloved"/>

*'''[[Val]]''' is a rank seen among [[Phalanx]], Centurion, and [[Incendior]] bodyguards. It is a subordinate position to a Valus.

*'''[[Bracus]]''' is the lowest rank amongst the Cabal hierarchy. It is a subordinate rank to a Val.

*'''[[Optus]]''' is a rank exclusively to Psion among the Imperial Cabal. What position it lies is completely unknown.

Titles such as [[Cabal Emperor|Emperor]] and [[Consul]] are used by the Empire's political leaders. Calus held the title of Emperor before his exile. However, upon conquering the Empire, Dominus Ghaul refused to claim the title after he overthrew Calus, insisting that there would be no more Emperors, though his supporters sometimes refer to him as "the Emperor" anyway out of respect.<ref name="CB"/> The Imperial crown would later be restored by [[Caiatl]], daughter of Calus and former protégé of Ghaul.
