With their security being lax, and Ghaul being preoccupied by wanting to understand the Traveler, their greatest weapon, ''[[The Almighty]]'', was disabled by [[The Guardian|a Guardian]]. This led to a full on attack on the Red Legion-occupied City by more Guardians, spearheaded by the Vanguard. With pressure mounting and his temper boiling over, Ghaul murdered [[the Consul]], who criticized his obsession, and went to take the Light to become a Lightbearer himself. For a short while he fought the Guardian, Ghaul ascended into a massive figure of pure Light just as the Traveler awoke, who smited the Dominus once and for all. Even in it’s aftermath, Red Legion weapons are used in [[Shaxx]]’s [[Crucible]] to help train new Guardians. | With their security being lax, and Ghaul being preoccupied by wanting to understand the Traveler, their greatest weapon, ''[[The Almighty]]'', was disabled by [[The Guardian|a Guardian]].
