{{Quote|This Leviathan. This prison ship. I will remake it, as I have been remade. No longer will it represent a mythical beast from the dreams of worms. It will serve as an icon for my newfound gluttony.|Emperor [[Calus]]}} | |||
On the night of the [[Ghaul's coup|coup]] that deposed him, Emperor Calus was arrested and quietly ushered aboard The Leviathan, where [[Dominus Ghaul]] and his co-conspirators intended him to remain in exile in perpetuity. The Leviathan's navigation system was locked onto a course that would take it far from the Cabal Empire's domain. After many centuries, the system failed and the ship progressed no further; it had come upon a great expanse of nothingness, and could not plot a course through a place that did not exist. It was here that Calus claimed to have encountered something that overawed him, potentially the [[Darkness]] itself, and resolved to become its herald. With the navigation system unlocked, Calus charted a course back to Cabal territory, collecting [[Shadows]] from various alien races along the way to enact his revenge against his usurpers. | On the night of the [[Ghaul's coup|coup]] that deposed him, Emperor Calus was arrested and quietly ushered aboard The Leviathan, where [[Dominus Ghaul]] and his co-conspirators intended him to remain in exile in perpetuity.
