Cabal Emperor: Difference between revisions

The '''Emperor''' is the former title given to the ruler of the [[Cabal]] Empire.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref> [[Dominus Calus]] was the last Cabal leader to claim the title. When [[Dominus]] [[Dominus Ghaul|Ghaul]] overthrew Calus, Ghaul refused to call himself Emperor, insisting that there would be no more Emperors. Nonetheless, a number of Cabal continued to refer to Ghaul as "the Emperor" out of respect. In his exile, Calus continued to use the title and considered himself the last Cabal Emperor and the last true Cabal.<ref>[[Cabal Booklet]]</ref>
