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]]. In particular, the Consul taught Ghaul of the [[Traveler]] and instilled in him a belief that the Cabal deserved its power by right. Ghaul knew how the Consul was using him and accepted it as a fair exchange for his upbringing.<ref>http://www.gameinformer.com/games/destiny_2/b/playstation4/archive/2017/06/11/destiny-2s-lead-creators-discuss-story-direction.aspx?utm_content=buffer3568d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer</ref><ref name = "Ghost Primus">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Ghost Primus]]''</ref><ref name = "Destiny 2">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref><ref name = "Cabal Booklet">[[Cabal Booklet]]</ref> | Ghaul was born an outcast orphan, both an albino and a runt, subjected to ridicule and torment throughout his childhood.

Ghaul first came to Calus's attention as a new fighter in his coliseum. His albinism, combined with his singular skill and measured, patient approach to combat, quickly made him the Emperor's favorite [[Gladiator]]. Calus would amuse himself by forcing those who had displeased him to bet against Ghaul, while he bet for him. However, Calus began to grow apprehensive of wasting Ghaul's skill in the coliseum, and so elevated him to [[Primus]] of the Red Legion, where he became known as the "Ghost Primus."<ref name = "Ghost Primus"/> | Ghaul first came to Calus's attention as a new fighter in his coliseum.

Ghaul soon found himself as the right hand of Calus, who would often discuss his plans and ideas with Ghaul to refine them and temper the Emperor's passion with discipline.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Conspirator]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Armor_of_the_Emperor's_Minister#Bond_of_the_Emperor's_Minister|Bond of the Emperor's Minister]]''</ref> | ||
Calus came to know Ghaul and loved him like a son, considering him a visionary and kindred spirit. Ghaul's feelings for Calus are unknown. Throughout his career, Ghaul continued to associate with the Consul (to the concern of Calus), and with him, began to plot a [[Ghaul's coup|coup]] with the aid of a number of the Emperor's closest allies and advisers. When the time came, late at night, Ghaul, the Consul, and the Red Legion personally invaded Calus's court and arrested him. Under the cover of darkness, the Emperor and his supporters were marched into [[The Leviathan]], sealed within, and exiled far into space along a pre-programmed course, as he was too popular to openly execute. <ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Conspirator]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Midnight Coup]]''</ref><ref name = "Cabal Booklet"/> | Calus came to know Ghaul and loved him like a son, considering him a visionary and kindred spirit.
