At one point, Calus contacts the Guardian via [[Werner 99-40]] and gifts them the Chalice of Opulence, a symbol of their nomination as a [[Shadows of Calus|Shadow of Calus]]. He also invites them to the [[Menagerie|Menagerie]] to compete for pleasure and glory and creates a [[The Tribute Hall|Tribute Hall]] in honor of their deeds.

Around the time, Calus bred [[Gahlran]] as a Shadow of the Hive in order to wear the [[Crown of Sorrow]]. This plan goes awry as Gahlran is corrupted by the Crown's powers and goes insane, much to the emperor's chagrin - though it was ultimately fortunate that he chose another to bear its power, as the Crown was in reality an attempt by [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen]] to put him under her control. Nonetheless, with Gahlran under the control of the Witch-Queen, the mad Shadow rallied the imprisoned Hive within the depths of the Leviathan's Menagerie. Wanting his former Shadow put down, Calus calls upon his Guardian allies once again, offering more riches and rewards upon their success. After a perilous struggle against the Sorrow-bearer and the Hive's wicked rituals, the Guardians succeeded in putting Gahlran down and retrieving the crown, thereby saving the Leviathan the threat of a Hive incursion.

Pleased with their success, Calus rewards the Guardians as promised but also officially makes them his Shadows of Earth. Several of the Guardians would accept Calus' offer and pledge themselves up as Shadows, much to the suspicions of [[Aunor Mahal]] of the [[Praxic Order]]. Despite the mistrust in the Cabal Emperor though, [[Ikora Rey]] and [[Zavala]] agreed to leave Calus alone citing his deterrence against the [[Red Legion]], though under continued [[Vanguard]] surveillance.

Later on, still wanting a Shadow to command the Hive, Calus sends an invitation to [[Eris Morn]], a former Guardian Hunter who has a deep history with the Hive. Knowing of such history, the exiled emperor aims to have Eris Morn become the Shadow of the Hive in place of Gahlran.
