'''Emperor Calus''' was the [[Cabal Emperor|Emperor]] of the [[Cabal]] before he was overthrown by [[Dominus Ghaul]] centuries prior to the [[Red War]]. Following the demise of Ghaul, Calus travelled to the [[Sol System|Sol System]] aboard his [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]] to recruit [[The Guardian]] and their fellow [[Guardians|Lightbearers]] 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 end of all things.  
'''Emperor Calus''' was the [[Cabal Emperor|Emperor]] of the [[Cabal]] for over a thousand years. He was ultimately overthrown and exiled by [[Dominus Ghaul]] centuries prior to the [[Red War]]. Following the demise of Ghaul, Calus travelled to the [[Sol System]] aboard his [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]] to recruit [[The Guardian|The Young Wolf]] and their fellow [[Guardians]] 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 end of all things.  


After communing with [[The Witness]], he become '''Emperor Calus, Herald of the Witness'''. His consciousness having fully integrated with the [[Darkness]] through the [[Egregore]] fungi that infests the Leviathan, Calus sought control over the [[Pyramid (Luna)|Lunar Pyramid]] by psychically melding his mind fully with the vessel. However, the former emperor was challenged by a coalition between the [[Vanguard]] and his daughter [[Empress Caiatl]], to which they would attempt to thwart his connection with the Pyramid.
After the return of the Black Fleet, he communed with [[The Witness]], becoming '''Emperor Calus, Herald of the Witness'''. His consciousness having fully integrated with the [[Darkness]] through the [[Egregore]] fungi that infests the Leviathan, Calus sought control over the [[Pyramid (Luna)|Lunar Pyramid]] by psychically melding his mind fully with the vessel. However, he was challenged by a coalition between the [[Vanguard]] and his daughter [[Empress Caiatl]], to which they would attempt to thwart his connection with the Pyramid.


Despite their efforts, the former emperor successfully gave himself to The Witness, and underwent a physical transformation into '''Calus, The Disciple''', the newest of the Witness' paracausal followers. Given command of the [[Shadow Legion]], Calus and his new Cabal army launched an all-out siege on the [[Neptune|Neptunian]] city of [[Neomuna]] to claim [[The Veil]] on behalf of his master, although his efforts were met with resistance by The Guardian along with [[Osiris]], Caiatl, and the [[Cloud Strider]]s of the city. He would ultimately meet his fate at the hands of his former Shadow; who defeated him in battle using the power of [[Strand]].
