'''Evocate-General Umun'arath, Primus of All Legions''' was the supreme commander of the [[Cabal|Cabal Empire]]'s combined military forces. | '''Evocate-General Umun'arath, Primus of All Legions''' was the supreme commander of the [[Cabal|Cabal Empire]]'s combined military forces. | ||

Born into a Cabal military family, Umun'arath was named after [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]], the [[Hive]] God of War, whom the Cabal were aware of through secondhand myths and legends. | |||
When [[Emperor Calus]] deposed the [[Praetorate]] and declared himself Emperor, he granted the Cabal Legions the rights of citizenship and appointed Umun'arath, a combat veteran, as Evocate-General. Early on, Umun'arath did not share in Calus' vision for the Cabal, as she was constantly paranoid about the many threats on the empire's frontiers, including rumors of the [[Vex]] and [[Hive]]. The Emperor attempted to change her mind about the purpose of war and that it was only needed to protect the happiness of the Cabal people, but Umun'arath was adamant in her belief that the war against the dark forces of the galaxy was more important than everything else and that the rest of Cabal society was meant to support the Legions. She came to detest Calus' seemingly carefree attitude as a hindrance to the empire's military might.<ref name=EG>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Cabal Booklet]] - [[Cabal_Booklet#The_General:_Evocate-General_Umun.27arath.2C_Primus_of_All_Legions|The General: Evocate-General Umun'arath, Primus of All Legions]]''</ref> | When [[Emperor Calus]] deposed the [[Praetorate]] and declared himself Emperor, he granted the Cabal Legions the rights of citizenship and appointed Umun'arath, a combat veteran, as Evocate-General.

However, some time after this Umun'arath was apprehended in the weaponsmith district of Torobatl, apparently in the midst of conducting a Hive ritual. When Caiatl arrived to confront the disgraced Evocate-General, Umun'arath made to attack her with Hive magic, and Caiatl slew Umun'arath on the spot with her blade. | However, some time after this Umun'arath was apprehended in the weaponsmith district of Torobatl, apparently in the midst of conducting a Hive ritual.

However, Umun'arath's death completed the ritual Savathûn had put in motion. A massive Hive portal to the [[Ascendant Realm]] opened over Torobatl, and out of it came [[Xivu Arath, God of War]], who immediately began laying waste to Torobatl with her fleets and armies.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Empress|Empress]] - [[Lore:Empress#CHAPTER 5: NEW GODS| | However, Umun'arath's death completed the ritual Savathûn had put in motion.

*Several details concerning Umun'arath seem to hint at a connection with the [[Darkness]] and the [[Hive]], at least in terms of philosophy. Her claim that "The war is all there is" echoes a nearly-identical quote attributed to the Darkness, found both in one of the "Darkness" Grimoire Cards and in dialogue with [[Lakshmi-2]]. Furthermore, Umun'arath shares part of her name with [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]], the Hive God of War. | *Several details concerning Umun'arath seem to hint at a connection with the [[Darkness]] and the [[Hive]], at least in terms of philosophy.

** This is confirmed in ''Beloved'', where Umun'arath reveals she is named after Xivu Arath, which the Cabal did not know was anything more than a myth at the time, in spite of having several loanwords from the Hive's language (Caiatl herself is named after a variation of the Hive word "aiat"; while aiat means effectively that there could not be any other way a situation turned out, "caiatl" means a situation has developed in a way other than how it needed to have). | |||
*Umun'arath and Caiatl are the only Cabal we've seen to have tusks. Whether Cabal grow tusks or if she just has them as a trophy is unknown as her side portrait does not show enough evidence for either. | *Umun'arath and Caiatl are the only Cabal we've seen to have tusks.

**In the [[Lore:Confessions|Confessions]] [[Lore]] book, the Psion Councillor [[Match]] makes mention of young female Cabal getting 'first tusks', which implies that tusks are exclusive to female Cabal, and can be shed like the antlers on a deer. | **In the [[Lore:Confessions|Confessions]] [[Lore]] book, the Psion Councillor [[Match]] makes mention of young female Cabal getting 'first tusks', which implies that tusks are exclusive to female Cabal, and can be shed like the antlers on a deer. | ||
