Consul: Difference between revisions

After [[The Almighty]] was deactivated, the Consul brought news of the event to Dominus Ghaul, infuriated at him. The Consul, frustrated that Ghaul would heed the Speaker's advice over his own, berated Ghaul for not seizing the light sooner. Ghaul attempted to ignore him, still believing he could earn the Traveler's favor on his own merits, but the Consul had run out of patience, who then released the Speaker's restraints and crushed his fallen mask.<ref group=note>The Speaker's fate is unclear after the restraints are released.</ref> The Consul urged Ghaul to remember who he was, to remember that he had already been chosen for greatness, not by the Traveler, but by the Consul, and to seize the Light for the glory of the Cabal. While the message did get through, Ghaul was not willing to let the Consul's insubordination go unpunished. Ghaul, while promising to fulfill his destiny, strangled the Consul to death.

The Consul is a large [[Cabal]] sporting heavy but worn-down ancient armor, with red paint worn away in some places to reveal gunmetal backing, and a ragged black cape. His breastplate is draped with [[Ghost]] "eyes" and an [[ATS/8 Arachnid]] helmet. He does not wear a helmet, and his arms are completely exposed. Additionally, the Consul sports metal covers over his fingertips. In his youth, the Consul's armor was heavier and more imposing, with large spikes atop his shoulders.<ref>[[Cabal Booklet]]</ref>
