Regardless, the Guardians succeed in destroying the robot. Before the destruction of the machine, Calus boasted about his power and claims to know the "real truth" about the galaxy and the purpose of the Traveler. Nonetheless, he rewards the Guardians for completing his challenge and offers them a place by his side should they seek him out. | Regardless, the Guardians succeed in destroying the robot.

After a perilous struggle against the Axis Mind, the Guardians succeed in disabling its shield and destroying the Mind. However, with Argos's shield gone, the Guardians were soon to be devoured by the inferno of the Leviathan. Fortunately, Calus saves the Guardians and rewards them for their success and the Cabal Emperor once again offers them more than just the power of the Light, as Calus demonstrated that he can keep them safe. He also cryptically warns them that the "end" is near and therefore must be ready, as he will find them again. | ||

During the time of Forsaken, Calus had begun to slip some Loyalist spies amongst the Red Legion's ranks such as [[Taurg, Disguised by the Emperor]]. Many of these spies were former Red Legion themselves. | During the time of Forsaken, Calus had begun to slip some Loyalist spies amongst the Red Legion's ranks such as [[Taurg, Disguised by the Emperor]].

Prior to the events of [[Season of Opulence]], Calus broke his promise to the Fulminator upon her dissipation. He returned to the interstellar conduits and, with the aid of his Loyalist [[Councilor]]s, kidnapped many of the Arkborn, imprisoning them within a section of his [[Menagerie]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUAUYU9rZbs</ref> | Prior to the events of [[Season of Opulence]], Calus broke his promise to the Fulminator upon her dissipation.

Calus' Councilors concluded that the Crown was a two-way seeing device into the [[Ascendant Realm]], and he later sought to use it in order to subjugate the Hive under his rule. This however was a desperate ploy by [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]] in order to take control of Calus. But he however saw through this minor trick and didn't have any intention of putting it on himself as he desired a Shadow to do it for him. | ||
Sometime following the Guardians recent battles with the [[Kell's Scourge]] and dealings with the [[The Drifter (character)|Drifter]], Emperor Calus was able to create what he believed to be the perfect candidate to utilize the power of the Crown of Sorrow through [[Gahlran, the Sorrow-Bearer]]. Though Gahlran was bred to control the artifact to further Calus's goals, he was ultimately consumed by it as Savathûn's influence was too strong for the Shadow, which allowed her Hive to infest the deep treasure vaults of the Leviathan.<ref name="Am I to Cast a Shadow?">'''Bungie (2019/6/3)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]], [[Weblore]]: [[Weblore#"Am I to Cast a Shadow?"|"Am I to Cast a Shadow?"]]''</ref> | Sometime following the Guardians' recent battles with the [[Kell's Scourge]] and dealings with the [[The Drifter (character)|Drifter]], Emperor Calus was able to create what he believed to be the perfect candidate to utilize the power of the Crown of Sorrow through [[Gahlran, the Sorrow-Bearer]].

Their meddling with Osiris's time-altering Sundial resulted in Mercury fracturing into three different eras, each with its own timelines dictated by the Psion Flayers. The Guardians team up with Osiris to ensure the safety of time, preserve the present, and save a legend, Saint-14. During this, there were accounts of the Red Legion offering bulk of tribute in the form of Light and Vex technology to other Legions and Calus and his Loyalists themselves. It is uncertain, however, if these offerings extended from the confines of the Sundial or not. Judging from the Red Legion's following play in Season of the Worthy, it can be inferred they did not. | ||
Upon Season of the Worthy, Calus employed a Shadow agent to steal [[The Fourth Horseman]], an infamous Cabal-killing weapon, to eliminate multiple key Red Legionnaires across the system. This Shadow, however, was caught and killed by [[Caiatl's Emissaries|emissaries]] of her daughter [[Empress Caiatl]], and the shotgun cached away by the Red Legion (which was recovered by the Guardians once more).<ref>''' Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Worthy]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[In Rides A Pale Horse]]''</ref> | Upon Season of the Worthy, Calus employed a Shadow agent to steal [[The Fourth Horseman]], an infamous Cabal-killing weapon, to eliminate multiple key Red Legionnaires across the system.
