Unceremoniously dethroned after a reign that had lasted centuries, Calus was exiled to [[The Leviathan]] and left to wander the cosmos. Meanwhile, the new regime began its transformation of the Cabal Empire into a nation of conquest. Eschewing the title of Emperor, Dominus Ghaul soon solidified his grip on power, surprising the Praetorate who had hoped to use him as a puppet. Ghaul proved far more strong-willed than they had realized, and the Praetorate learned to fear and obey him. | Unceremoniously dethroned after a reign that had lasted centuries, Calus was exiled to [[The Leviathan]] and left to wander the cosmos.

Over the years during his exile, Calus longed for revenge against those who betrayed him. After encountering a strange force, possibly the Darkness itself, Calus believed that the end was near and resolved to be the last being left before the end claims him as well. But first, he desired retribution against Ghaul and his collaborators. Regaining control over The Leviathan, Calus traveled throughout the Cosmos, encountering a multitude of civilizations that intrigued him. From these civilizations, Calus gathered a single member from each, the greatest of their species, and formed the [[Shadows]], his elite assassins who would eliminate his betrayers. By the time the Red War had begun, the Shadows of Calus had eliminated the majority of the conspirators but they all perished in the attempt to kill Ghaul himself. | Over the years during his exile, Calus longed for revenge against those who betrayed him.
