Many years prior to [[Destiny]], Calus led a populist revolution to eject the military aristocracy known as the [[Praetorate]] from power and became Emperor. Under his rule, the Cabal Empire became a seat of all-encompassing hedonism and revelry. His accomplishments during that time included redistributing Praetorate wealth to the people, granting citizenship to the imperial Legions, and putting down various alien threats such as the [[Sindu]], the [[Clipse]], and the [[Psion]]s' [[OXA Machine]]. However, when the OXA machine was rebuilt by the savant [[Otzot]], Calus was impressed enough by her genius to order the machine preserved and hold a festival in her honor, elevating Otzot to his court as Imperial Dreamer.<ref name = "Cabal Booklet">[[Cabal Booklet]]</ref> | Many years prior to [[Destiny]], Calus led a populist revolution to eject the military aristocracy known as the [[Praetorate]] from power and became Emperor.

And thus, the damage phase begins. Everyone needs to step on the same Psion plate to deal damage. Since there are four plates, there are four chances to get in as much damage as possible. However, Calus will charge an Afterburn blast that can shut down the plate and kill everyone standing on it, thus causing players to jump to a new one. After losing a set portion of health, parts of his body will break off, revealing a machine. He will also gain new attacks in addition to his laser: an arm cannon and a meteor storm that leaves behind circles of fire which deal damage over time. As his health nears zero, he will charge up his Imperial Nova attack again. If Calus is not killed in time, the entire team is killed.}} | And thus, the damage phase begins.

==Trivia== | |||
*Calus is the third Cabal character to speak English fluently. The first being Ghaul and the second, The Consul. | |||
*Calus inadvertently foresaw The Consul's death, as he wanted the Consul to die by his own weapons. Ghaul was his weapon in overthrowing Ghaul and when he killed the Consul during the Red War, Ghaul unknowingly fulfilled that sentenced. | |||
*Calus could be considered among the most powerful Cabal the Guardians ever faced, rivaling Ghaul. | |||
