{{Quote|He is of the enemy. His vulgar tendencies are off-putting to the people of this City. But deep down, I see something greater.

This is Primus Draug'oth speaking. A Cabal speaking on humanity's terms is crazy, I understand, but I decided I'm going to cooperate. Time and time again, I've committed several atrocities in the name of the Cabal High Command, and I'd like to take it all back, yet I had no other choice. Not that feeling bad about doing these terrible things and being forced to do them ever made it okay to do them in the first place, but...I wish for a chance to make amends, because that is what I must do. The only way for me to truly move forward is to atone, and if I fail to do so, then I have failed at finding my purpose in life. I'll explain how I got here. This is a long one. Be prepared.

{{Quote|I like this Primus guy. I mean, before, he was total monster, don't get me wrong, but...he's a lot more humble and sensitive now. He's cool and collected, always doing what he can. Look, what I'm trying to say is...I'm glad he's workin' with us. |[[Cayde-6]] |quote}}

As one of the fiercest defenders of [[The Last City]], and an elite heavy infantry unit, it's appropriate that I'd be all the more powerful as a combatant. I retain my prior arsenal, and exposure to the [[Light]] has added to that. They have trusted me enough for me to be this powerful. But, of course, there are those that fear my temperament, especially the [[Vanguard]]. That's only in the heat of battle, though.

Petra then came on the comms and we had a conversation about Skolas' whereabouts. She told me that after trying to conquer several Fallen houses, he failed. As I went up the Vex spire at [[The Citadel]], I saw him in the remote distance. She sent in support to help me get across the great chasm. Then after the chasm, I slowly walked up to Skolas, who noticed me, and quickly turned around. I took out my Heavy Slug Thrower and opened fire. He kept teleporting around me and fired his [[Shrapnel Launcher]] in my face. I was bleeding, and was losing vision. But I predicted his movements. I finally grabbed him by the threat, and kept bashing his head into the wall, making him stunned. I slammed my foot on his neck and repeatedly fired my slug thrower into his chest. A series of red rings appeared around him. They were coming from a tractor beam being fired by the Queen's flagship, where she sent her transmission as he picked him up and sent him to the Prison of Elders.

As I went into the Prison, I met up with a Fallen named [[Variks]], the warden. "A Cabal champion, yes? Name is Variks. Yours?" "Primus Draug'oth." "Primus, welcome to the Prison. Clear out enemies, impress your warden, and be rewarded treasure down below. And eventually, meet up with Skolas and end him for good." "I thought I killed him." "Killed him, you haven't. Only severely wounded. However, traces of Ether bring him back. When you get the chance...kill. Him. Dead." "I accept." "Good...but you must prove yourself. Prove to me you are worthy." So I went down below and killed a bunch of bad guys for several hours, and Variks approved, "You have won. Grab treasure and prepare yourself for the final fight, yes?" And then, I saw it, a big chest at the end revealing a [[Scorch Cannon]] for me to use. I then went back in the arena to challenge Skolas again. I decided to use it against him and it worked wonders. He had a cannon of his own, and he even tried to poison me through some unknown means, but I can take it. Eventually, I blasted him into oblivion, and at last, he was dead. so long, Skolas the Legitimately Insane!

Eris came back. "Primus. They're back." "How bad did the Hive get this time?" "See for yourself." I was sent to investigate a Cabal firebase located on [[Phobos]] on Zavala's behalf, to respond to their distress signal. I flew my Harvester over to their base and saw numerous crippled and dead Cabal lying on the floor. I dug deeper into the base to see some Centurions being pulled in by a strange rift, like they're being sucked into another dimension. "What the hell was that?", I suddenly said in a rush (yes, Zavala, I stole your phrase. I began fearing for my life as I figured I would suffer the same fate. The same rifts kept appearing but in the form of floating mines that detonated on contact. I then reached the center of the base, loaded with those rifts and a [[Blight|giant black sphere]] in the middle. I slowly approached it but then a blinding flash occurred and the rifts exploded to life, taking the forms of corrupted enemy forces. These were the [[Taken]]. The [[Taken War]] had begun.

At first I tried to defend myself with my Heavy Slug Thrower and Scorch Cannon as well as my Hammers of Sol, but the Taken grew larger and stronger, and so I could only run away. Outside, I saw my Harvester parked on the airfield, and I had evacuated. I then received an incoming broadcast from the Vanguard to tell them of my whereabouts. "Primus, report", Zavala said. "There were Cabal soldiers being pulled into another dimension only to come back out as corrupted life forms. What can Eris make of this?" She  said, "They are Taken. You slayed Crota, but that awoke his father: Oryx, the Taken King. From his ascendant realm, he commands an army of Hive and Taken and sends in [[Echo of Oryx|Echoes]] to blight the system. If he is not stopped, the whole system will be purged." "Where do we find him?", I asked. Cayde then cut in and said, "Don't worry, Primus. I'll direct you to the [[Dreadnaught]] so you can kill him yourself." "Cayde, you once again undermine the one important task we must take before the slaughter. In this case, you undermine the need for an Ascendant Shard. With it, you will be able to enter Oryx's realm and destroy him."

Eris and Cayde sent the shard to me via transmat, which prompted me to mark the Dreadnaught's coordinates. It took several months for me to locate it, but when I did, I found a gigantic hull breach made by a Cabal warship, and its soldiers fighting against the Hive. I decided to fly into the breach, past the fighting, through the tunnels and into the rupture that lead to Oryx's realm. I ended up in a very strange place. As I dug deeper, I killed Hive and Taken reinforcements progressively getting stronger, faster, and tougher. Then, a long empty tunnel swallowed me in and drained me of my Light. When I woke up hours later, I found myself in a [[Threshold]], with a Taken rift at the end of the hallway. It exploded, signaling the arrival of Oryx. He was massive, and extremely powerful. He was immune to bullets and rockets, and my Light is drained, so I might be done for...unless you count the Ascendant Shard that got me in. I had to consume some of its power to even stand a chance against him. He casted countless spells on me, but they didn't even scratch my armor. He tried to drag me into another dimension, but my shard released a pulse that cancelled this, stunning Oryx and dropping remnants of my corrupted Light. I began to channel it, reclaiming it for myself. I then put up my Ward of Dawn to send him screaming into space. His body shriveled up and he died, permanently...

I saw the City turn to ashes at the hands of the [[Red Legion]]. I ran to my [[Harvester]] and flew away, far away from the city and into space. I tried to search for new power. First, I landed in the [[Outskirts]] of the [[European Dead Zone]]. All I encountered was a bunch of [[Fallen]]. However, these Fallen weren't under any house colors I've seen before. They were purple; I've heard reports that remnants from all the separate houses banded together in desperation to form the [[House of Dusk]]. I even came across a [[Serkuleks, the Fount|massive Servitor]] that I thought I could sap power from. All I had was my [[Heavy Slug Thrower]]. My other weapons and equipment were lost under the rubble of the Red Legion invasion. Sure doesn't help that this Servitor's here, either. It takes a lot of bullets to bring it down. I had to fight it off for hours. Bullet after bullet after bullet at 3000 RPM and it's still there. I had no choice but to run up to it and start punching it in the eye. It was draining my life force After several minutes of bashing its wires in, the Servitor finally exploded. But no luck at getting my hands on their enhanced ether. The Fallen scattered just as I went aboard my Harvester to blast them down.

My next destination was [[Titan (moon)|Titan]]. I landed in the [[New Pacific Arcology]], but little did I know the [[Hive]] would be here. I decided to fly back but had to defend myself against a Hive assault before doing so. Then I went over to the [[Arcadian]] on [[Nessus]]. No luck. Although I did have to hold my own against an [[Integration Mind]] leading a Vex construct operation, which was fun. My bullets disappeared when hitting its rotating shields, so I charged in for the kill. However, when it died, it left behind its core, which was about to detonate. I remember the first time this happened to me, so I ran away from the explosion and survived. The Vex retreated. Last up was the [[Echo Mesa]] on [[Io]]. Everything leading up to this was a reminder of my potential strength. This encounter was the most shocking to me. The [[Taken]] lurked these grounds. I've seen them before, but not on the battlefield. And to make things worse, there were a few Cabal Taken figures I could make out from a distance: my professors, my uncle, and my father were all Taken. They were long-time friends, but once they're Taken, they cannot be brought back, so I had to kill them. Hours later, they disappeared into nothingness. I was still so much in shock at what I had seen. I swore vengeance on my father's name. Whoever Took my family and friends, I will find you, and I will KILL YOU.

But I couldn't stop there, as it wasn't my main focus. I was looking for greater power, something that cannot be taken away from me, power that could truly become a part of me. I looked in so many places and couldn't find true power. I spent months flying through space in my Harvester. Nothing. Even more months passed. I fell asleep during that time, until I had a strange vision in my head, picturing an alternate realm. That was when I woke up and looked outside my window. There, I saw a [[The Leviathan|gigantic space catfish]] floating by. I figured that the presence of that ship was what caused that weird dream. "Odd", I said to myself. As I got closer and landed, I realized that this was actually another [[Cabal]] flagship. It was very royally designed. I've never known Cabal to have any sort of royalty, even though we have an [[Emperor]]. I remember his name, too. [[Calus]]. I've heard that name before, but I can't remember when or where. But here is where I realized that this is his flagship.
