Emperor Calus: Difference between revisions

After disappearing for two years, Calus returned with the [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]] as a Disciple of [[The Witness]], aiming to create a bond between his flagship and the [[Pyramid]] on the Moon. He now has reinforced his Loyalist troops with [[Scorn]], as well as also controlling [[Nightmares]] created by the connection with the Pyramid.

[[The Guardian]] learns from [[Caiatl]] that when the [[Leviathan]] appeared in orbit of the Moon, two hundred [[Loyalists]] departed and fled. The Loyalists encountered in the ship itself are newly spawned clones who act as an extension of Calus's will.

As [[Eris Morn]] and the [[Vanguard]] began [[Operation Midas]], [[The Guardian]] finds destroyed robotic copies of Calus and speaks with Calus through them. During an attempt to sever the [[Nightmare of Uldren Sov]] from the [[Crow]], Calus tells [[The Guardian]] that they are just a grub fattened on the lies of the universe. He also tells them that he too was like them and that he will enjoy seeing [[The Guardian]]'s reality shattered. He would further be amused with the Guardians efforts to sever his connections to the Pyramid, getting into heated conversations with their allies in the process.

Calus would ultimately succeed in his plan to become a Herald of the Witness and enter the Lunar Pyramid after manipulating his daughter, Caiatl, into brazenly challenging the Nightmare of Dominus Ghaul, leading to the severance ritual's failure, which gave him the time he needed to merge with the Pyramid. However, as the transformation had not fully taken affect, Eris gathers the Guardian, Crow, Zavala and Caiatl to conduct one last large scale severance ritual to stop Calus from fully taking control of the Lunar Pyramid. Though Zavala and Crow would be attacked by Calus's Loyalists, the Guardian and Caiatl would find themselves within the Lunar Pyramid itself, meeting at the [[Chantry of the Darkest Hour]]. There Caiatl angrily demanded her father to show himself, in which her father did so by revealing his true psionic form. The father stated his disappointment in his daughters failures, doubts and of her decision to not stand by his side. Unleashing Fading Nightmares of those the Guardian had battled against along with a horde of Scorn and Loyalists, the Guardians were able to wound Calus by striking down the Fading Nightmares and having the [[Nightmare Harvester]] absorb them. After the last Nightmare had been defeated, Calus had been pushed back, disappearing in a psionic blast. Caiatl would confirm to Zavala that her father is gone, having given himself over to The Witness.
