'''Emperor Calus''' | '''Emperor Calus''' is the former [[Cabal Emperor|Emperor]] of the [[Cabal]]. He ruled over the Cabal Empire for over a thousand years, until he was overthrown in a coup led by [[Dominus Ghaul]] and exiled to aimlessly wander the galaxy aboard the [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]]. Following Ghaul’s death in the [[Red War]], Calus travelled to the [[Sol System]] 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 the Black Fleet returned to the Sol System, he communed with [[the Witness]], becoming '''Emperor Calus, Herald of the Witness'''. His consciousness having fully integrated with the [[Darkness]] through the [[Egregore]], Calus sought control over the [[Pyramid (Luna)|Lunar Pyramid]] by psychically melding his mind with the vessel. However, he was challenged by a coalition comprising the [[Vanguard]] and his daughter [[Empress Caiatl]], who attempted to thwart his connection with the Pyramid. | After the Black Fleet returned to the Sol System, he communed with [[the Witness]], becoming '''Emperor Calus, Herald of the Witness'''.

His reign was not without personal troubles. Calus was wary of [[Umun'arath]], his Evocate-General, for her paranoia and obsessive fixation on war. His own daughter and heir, [[Caiatl]], grew up similarly despite his efforts. <ref name = "Cabal Booklet"/> In truth, his efforts are probably part of the reason that Caiatl came to trust Umun'arath over him, as while he sincerely cared for her, he was emotionally abusive towards her, even killing her pet [[War Beast]], [[Milos]], out of jealousy, leading to Caiatl's deep resentment of him and what she came to view as his fundamental cowardice and desire to be loved without working towards becoming respected. <ref name = "Beloved"/> | His reign was not without personal troubles.
