Ghaul was born an outcast orphan, both an albino and a runt, subjected to ridicule and torment throughout his childhood. As was custom for [[Cabal]] runts, he was abandoned and left to die. Instead, he was found by [[The Consul]], a disgraced scholar and aristocrat, who decided to raise, befriend, and teach Ghaul in the hopes that he would one day overthrow [[Emperor Calus|Calus]].
