==History==

===The Ghost Primus===

{{Quote|The Ghost Primus was strong because of his disfigurement, not in spite of it. He alone had the vision to share my dream of a new, perfect world. Ghaul was a creature of singular beauty, and I loved him.|Emperor Calus}} <ref name = "Ghost Primus">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Ghost Primus]]''</ref>

[[Emperor Calus]] impressed by a young gladiator Ghaul, would appoint him to Primus of the Red Legion to better use his talents. Due to his albinism, Ghaul quickly became known as the Ghost Primus.<ref name = "Ghost Primus">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Ghost Primus]]''</ref> Ghaul quickly became indispensable to the Emperor not only for his skill in battle but also his wisdom. 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, [[Armor_of_the_Emperor's_Minister#Bond_of_the_Emperor's_Minister|Bond of the Emperor's Minister]]''</ref>  

As his command over the Red Legion grew, the Legion became more loyal to Ghaul over their emperor. This growing support enabled Ghaul to launch a successful coup against [[Emperor Calus]], with the Red Legion accompanying him to arrest Calus and sending him and his supporters into exile inside [[The Leviathan]].<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Midnight Coup]]''</ref>

===The Red War===

Upon receiving a distress call from the [[Skyburners]], the Legion prepared an attack against the [[Last City]] on [[Earth]]. Psion Operatives managed to compromise the cities outer sensors, defenses, and outposts to conceal their presence.<ref>'''[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/ringer Ringer] & [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/the-stacks The Stacks] Lore Info'''</ref> Using this to their advantage, they launched a successful invasion on the Last City while attacking other places like the [[Reef]].<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/ringer?highlight=legion Ringer]</ref> The Legion would cripple the Last City and devastate the Guardians by using the [[Traveler Cage]] to suppress the Traveler's light. In attacking the City, Ghaul sought to show the Traveler the error of its ways in choosing humanity over the Cabal and establish a new order of Cabal Guardians from within the ranks of his own species.<ref name="Destiny 2 Gameplay Premiere Livestream (US)"/><ref>[https://www.engadget.com/2017/05/19/destiny-2-tackles-the-originals-storytelling-problems/ '''engadget''' - ''‘Destiny 2’ tackles the original’s biggest problem: storytelling'']</ref><ref name="Rally the Troops">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJLAJVmggt0 '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny 2 – “Rally the Troops” Worldwide Reveal Trailer'']</ref>  

Following the attack, the Red Legion began to quickly spread everywhere in the [[Solar System]].<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/ghost-scan-the-gulch-european-dead-zone-3 Ghost Scan: The Gulch, European Dead Zone #3]</ref> On [[Nessus]] the legion attempt to excavate ancient [[Vex]] ruins and unearth the ancient Vex Mind [[Protheon, Modular Mind]] to capture. On [[Io]], they attempted to drain Io of its abnormal Light which accidentally summoned the [[Taken]], forcing them to leave their many dig sites. On [[Mars]] the remaining Legions gathered at [[Meridian Bay]] for one final assault and the Red Legion led the charge. The stalemate was broken, the Vex Virgo Prohibition was destroyed, [[Bastion (Crucible Map)|Bastion]] retaken, and the Gate to the [[Black Garden]] was disabled, even on [[Venus]]. On [[Mercury]] the now-Lightless [[Titan]] [[The Sunbreakers|Sunbreakers]] were destroyed.<ref>[[Hallowfire Heart]]</ref>
