'''Emperor Calus''' is the former [[Cabal Emperor|Emperor]] of the [[Cabal Empire]], who was usurped by [[Dominus Ghaul]] prior to the [[Red War]]. Following the demise of Ghaul, Calus travelled to the [[Solar System|Sol System]] aboard his [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]] to recruit the [[Guardian]]s as his [[Shadows of Calus|Shadow]]s to have by his side as he prepared for the coming of the [[Black Fleet]] and what he believed to be the [[The Final Shape]] end of all things.

Having communed successfully with [[The Witness]], the exiled Cabal became '''Emperor Calus, Herald of the Witness'''; joining forces with the Witness and the Black Fleet. His consciousness having fully integrated with the [[Darkness]] through the [[Egregore]] fungi that infests his now derelict Leviathan, Calus sought control over the [[Pyramid (Luna)|Lunar Pyramid]] by psychically melding his mind fully with the vessel. Instead, the former emperor was challenged by a coalition between the [[Vanguard]] and his daughter [[Empress Caiatl]], to which they would thwart his connection with the Pyramid.

Despite their efforts, the former emperor successfully gave himself to The Witness, where he underwent a physical transformation into one of their newest [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple]]s. Calus was granted command of his own unique paracausal ship, the ''[[Typhon Imperator]]'', and command over the [[Shadow Legion]] when the Black Fleet closed in on The Traveler and [[Earth]], before launching an all-out assault on the Neptunian city of [[Neomuna]] in order to claim [[The Veil]] for his master's bidding.
