Altogether, Calus is a figure of contradictions. He is an emperor enthroned by and supporting populism; he is capable of genuine altruism immediately following ruthless conquest; he is self-centered but dotes on his subjects.

Calus is also a very overweight and inactive individual. He sent an automaton to face the [[Guardian]]s instead of confronting them himself, only directly fighting them from a distance by pulling them into his psionic realm to face his avatar. It is unknown if Calus uses robot stand-ins because of cowardice, contempt for his challengers or is simply testing his challengers. His interest in the Guardians continues to grow, as he hopes they will become his Shadows and even saved them from being destroyed by the Leviathan, as they both defeated Ghaul and proved themselves to him that there was more to them than just the powers they possess.
Calus has been imbued with potent psionic abilities by his [[Psion]] council, having the ability to pull individuals into an alternate dimension composed out of the sheer force of his psionic energy, similar to an [[Ascendant Realm]], making him a force to be reckoned with.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCBJUGwKhmw</ref> Calus also claims to have knowledge on the true origins and purpose of the [[Traveler]], and to have encountered a far greater power during his travels.

Calus only ever interacts with others using lifelike robotic proxies, possibly out of necessity. It is implied that his robots no longer bear any resemblance to him as he is now, as in his own words, "my form and my strength are inextricably linked." <ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Robes of Sekris]]''</ref>


Calus' decision to embrace his hedonism partly stems from the fact that he knows how the Darkness will destroy the galaxy, and how he wished to revel in each small delight until the end comes. <ref>'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[I Am Alive]]''</ref>He states that the reason he won't kill the Guardian is because he's enamored with a warrior who won't yield in the face of such overwhelming despair.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Zenith of Your Kind]]''</ref>
