"The City is secure. Those who fled, are being hunted, and those fools that remain have been executed."
— The Consul

The Consul is a member of the Cabal Praetorate and the mentor of Dominus Ghaul. He is the secondary antagonist of Destiny 2.

Biography

The Consul was a figure with close ties to the Cabal Praetorate. When the Praetorate was overthrown by Emperor Calus, the Consul lost all of his power and influence, and was personally shamed and exiled by the new Emperor. At some point, he stumbled upon Ghaul, a young orphan who had been left for dead. Hungry for revenge and realizing that Ghaul would be a useful tool, he raised and instilled his hateful ideals into Ghaul, growing him into a ruthless warlord.

Thousands of years prior to the Red War, the Consul masterminded the coup to overthrow Calus. The Emperor's closest allies and advisors betrayed him and made Ghaul the new Dominus of the Empire. Too popular to kill outright, Calus was instead exiled to the Leviathan. With Dominus Ghaul now in charge of the Cabal, The Consul became his most trusted advisor.[1]

During the closing stages of the Cabal invasion of the Last City, aboard The Immortal, The Consul approached Dominus Ghaul as he was interrogating The Speaker, reporting that the Traveler was secure, and the remaining Guardian forces had been executed within The Last City.

Traits

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.[2]

Trivia

  • The Consul is considered a lifelong friend by Ghaul.
  • The Consul is voiced by Frank Langella.[3]
  • The Consul is the sixth overall antagonist observed speaking English, and the second Cabal to be seen doing so.
  • The Consul is the only Cabal character whose face is completely revealed, unlike Dominus Ghaul who bears a mask that covers his lower face.
