Ghaul's assault was carried out flawlessly. Taking the City by surprise, the Red Legion rapidly overwhelmed it and destroyed the [[Tower]] while his [[Traveler Cage|cage device]] latched onto the Traveler. Ghaul's forces took particular care to capture the [[Speaker]] alive, Ghaul being interested in his connection to the Traveler. In a desperate plan to kill him, [[The Guardian]] boarded his flagship, [[The Immortal]], and destroyed its shield generator in advance of a concentrated attack. This attack never materialized, and Ghaul personally stepped out to confront the Guardian. As the two faced off, the Cage activated its suppressive shield and stripped the Guardian -- all Guardians -- of their Light. His victory assured, Ghaul beat and mocked the Guardian before kicking them off of the Immortal. | Ghaul's assault was carried out flawlessly.

Days later, aboard the Immortal, Ghaul implored the Traveler to choose him and join his empire. The Consul, in contrast, only viewed it as an advanced machine, and advised Ghaul to simply seize its Light by force. Ghaul disagreed with the Consul's approach and had the Speaker brought to him. | |||
In addition, he sent his prized warship, [[The Almighty]], to the systems sun to destabilize it and cause it to go supernova should the system resist any further. His remaining forces have been sent to the [[European Dead Zone]] to hunt the remaining Guardians, to [[Io]] to mine the remaining energy from the Traveler and to [[Nessus]] to study the Vex. | In addition, he sent his prized warship, [[The Almighty]], to the systems sun to destabilize it and cause it to go supernova should the system resist any further.

At the top of his warship, Ghaul faces off against the Guardian he defeated before but this time infused with some of the Traveler's Light, giving him similar abilities to the Guardians. However, the Light that was bestowed upon him was corrupted. After a fierce battle between the two Light-infused warriors, Ghaul was nonetheless defeated. With his death, Ghaul attempts to use [[Radiance]], and is resurrected as a massive ethereal figure due to his corrupted Light, and he declares himself immortal as he speaks to the Traveler directly. In doing so, the Traveler wakes from its slumber, destroying the device that was harvesting its power and then destroys Ghaul himself, sending a massive shockwave across the planet and system, restoring the Light and ending Ghaul's threat forever. For the first time in history, the Red Legion has known true defeat and the leader of their people, their strongest warrior and emperor, is now dead. | At the top of his warship, Ghaul faces off against the Guardian he defeated before but this time infused with some of the Traveler's Light, giving him similar abilities to the Guardians.

Despite Ghaul's death and the liberation of the Last City, the Red Legion continue to carry on the Red War but have become seriously weakened and demoralized at the loss of their leader. | Despite Ghaul's death and the liberation of the Last City, the Red Legion continue to carry on the Red War but have become seriously weakened and demoralized at the loss of their leader. | ||

However, Ghaul was not always like this, as Calus' journal revealed that Ghaul was once an innocent orphan, who was adopted by The Consul, meant to be used as a proxy to usurp Calus and the Empire. The Consul instilled ideals of hatred and rage into Ghaul and taught him to become a powerful warrior, one without mercy. However, though Ghaul was intended to be a puppet to the Consul's group, he proved to be far more strong-willed than anticipated. In time, the group that elevated and used him, the Consul included, learned to fear him and follow his creeds.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/6xjp7j/spoiler_destiny_2_collectors_edition_and_cabal/</ref> | However, Ghaul was not always like this, as Calus' journal revealed that Ghaul was once an innocent orphan, who was adopted by The Consul, meant to be used as a proxy to usurp Calus and the Empire.

Ghaul seemingly went insane after the destruction of [[The Almighty]], possibly due to mounting pressure upon him from his failures during the [[Red War]], going as far as to kill his long-time teacher and friend, [[The Consul]], after he simply questioned his objective. In his last moments, he displayed psychotic traits and tendencies, fervently yelling at [[The Guardian]] as he fought them. | |||

Dominus Ghaul is the main boss of the [[Story]] mission [[Chosen]]. He mainly attacks with a one-handed [[Projection Rifle]] for long-ranged fire and will summon a Quake shockwave when faced up close, but will constantly shift through different [[Light]]-based attacks. The first is [[Solar]] Slicer, where, like a [[Dawnblade]], he rises up into the air and throws flaming swords at the player, which inflict a burning effect upon a direct hit. The second is a [[Void]] shield, where he will be immune to damage as he charges up the attack shortly before releasing it, creating a giant dome that slows the player down when trapped inside. The third is [[Arc]] Wrath, where he hurls Arc energy spheres, which leave behind a shockwave that deals damage over time. This constant shift in attacks makes Ghaul a dangerous foe. | |||
