In ''Season of the Haunted'', the true scope of Calus's schemes and depravity would be revealed. Seeing the end coming, Calus sought to become the latest Disciple of the Witness in order to become its harbinger. He would continue to taunt the Guardians with flattery and vague threats as they sought to undo his plans, unconcerned with their efforts, finding them to be pointless. Eris Morn would speculate that perhaps Calus's initial "generosity" when he first revealed himself to the Guardians, showering them with gifts, was in fact a ruse for him to get close enough to understanding the Darkness without their interference. He was willing to use his daughter to complete his goals, at the same time showing disappointment in her not choosing to stand by his side. However, as shown when the Guardian's delved into the former Emperor's mind, they found that beneath his mountainous narcissism and hedonism, lay doubts and regrets over the choices he made in his life and what his relationship with Caiatl had become. Despite these deep-seated insecurities, the Emperor's said narcissism refused to let these regrets and doubts surface. | In ''Season of the Haunted'', the true scope of Calus's schemes and depravity would be revealed.

Even then, despite the exiled Emperor's notorious arrogance, he can still be intimidated by beings truly superior to him.

This is shown when the Witness silenced him: Calus, utterly indignated of being accused of being a failure, lashed out at the Witness, leaving it particularly angered. When this happened, blood coming from his nose began to seep from beneath his helmet, the presence of the Witness bearing down upon him. Calus began meekly begging for forgiveness, cowering as the Witness's shadow grew. Just as the presence of the Witness seemed to be too much for him to handle, Calus shook from a nightmare, seated on his throne. He looked down at the empty chalice in his hand, and threw it in recognition of his humiliation. Not even his private thoughts and criticisms could escape another's judgment. | ||
