Though Ghaul failed in his goal of claiming the Traveler's Light, his actions in the Red War and nearly destroying the last bastion of humanity would remain a bitter memory for the Guardians and survivors of the initial attack. As a result, Ghaul's form would be used as a [[Nightmare]] in the newly emerged [[Scarlet Keep|Hive fortress]] on [[Luna]]. | Though Ghaul failed in his goal of claiming the Traveler's Light, his actions in the Red War and nearly destroying the last bastion of humanity would remain a bitter memory for the Guardians and survivors of the initial attack.

Ghaul is adorned in large white armor with red and gold detailing, and is often seen without a helmet, sporting a metal facemask instead. He also has albinism, given his pale skin and deep red eyes. Ghaul appears to be an adept strategist, choosing to launch his invasion during a severe thunderstorm that concealed his warships from visual detection until it was too late. Ghaul also managed to accomplish, in the span of several hours, what the other races could not do in centuries, to conquer the Last City and scatter the Guardians.<ref name="Destiny 2 Gameplay Premiere Livestream (US)"/><ref name="Rally the Troops"/> Thousands of years prior, Ghaul also managed to lead a united military coup against [[Emperor Calus]] single-handedly, demonstrating his adept skills and charisma toward his people. | Ghaul is adorned in large white armor with red and gold detailing, and is often seen without a helmet, sporting a metal facemask instead.

==Trivia== | |||
*The name "''Gary''",<ref name="Rally the Troops">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJLAJVmggt0 '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny 2 – “Destiny 2 Gameplay Premiere Livestream (US)'']</ref> as Cayde calls him, has quickly evolved to a memetic status amongst the community. | |||
*Ghaul is the first Cabal character to be observed fluently speaking English, and the fifth overall antagonist to do so. How he has learned a human language remains unknown. | |||
*[[Luke Smith]] has compared Ghaul to [[wikipedia:Hans Gruber|Hans Gruber]] from the ''Die Hard'' series.<ref>[http://au.ign.com/articles/2017/05/18/destiny-2-new-single-player-gameplay-details-revealed '''IGN''' - ''DESTINY 2: NEW SINGLE PLAYER, CAMPAIGN, GAMEPLAY DETAILS REVEALED'']</ref> | |||
*Dominus Ghaul is voiced by {{Plain|[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0090464/ Neil Kaplan]}}.<ref>[https://twitter.com/NeKap/status/869693800544849920 '''Twitter''' - ''I. AM. GHAUL. #Destiny2'']</ref> | |||
*Ghaul was once known as the Ghost Primus. | |||
*Ghaul shows a resemblance to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Malgus Darth Malgus] from Star Wars: The Old Republic. | |||
*Ironically, Ghaul’s insistence on the validity of a “might makes right” philosophy to gain access to the Light more closely aligns with [[The Sword Logic]], and thus the professed aims of the Darkness. | |||
**This would explain during his fight that his “Light” appears more corrupted. | |||
