Eight months after Ghaul's death, he led a massive Red Legion fleet to attack the [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]], causing [[Emperor Calus]] to request his assassination by a [[Guardian]] raid team. He was subsequently taken down in an unsanctioned raid op by Guardians aboard the Leviathan's spire, marking the apparent end of the Red War. He is the final boss of the [[Spire of Stars]] [[Raid Lair]]. | ||
Years following his death, he would be resurrected and [[Taken]] by [[Xivu Arath]], and would later be encountered by the Guardian within the depths of Titan's methane ocean alongside [[Uorgotha, Scourge of the Deep]]. | Years following his death, he would be resurrected and [[Taken]] by [[Xivu Arath]], and would later be encountered by the Guardian within the depths of Titan's methane ocean alongside [[Uorgotha, Scourge of the Deep]]. | ||

In the vacancy that was left behind by Ghaul's death, Val Ca'uor took advantage of the power vacuum and quickly asserted himself as the commander of the Red Legion.

His forces occupied the Spire of Stars, and they raided the spire and killed many of Calus's troops and commanders. Ca'uor was intercepted at the Celestial Observatory just as he struck down one of Calus's robotic proxies. In the following battle, he was overpowered by the team as they use the Leviathan's defenses to destroy his fleet, killing him in a final showdown afterwards. | ||
However, this would not be the end of Val Ca'uor. Five years later, he would return, now Taken and Bladebound to Xivu Arath. The [[Taken Incendior]] was paired with another Taken champion, [[Uorgotha, Scourge of the Deep]], and sent to [[Kraken Mare]] on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]] to obstruct the [[Salvage (activity)|Salvage]] operations of the [[Vanguard]]. The two confronted the Guardians on the ocean floor, alongside hordes of other Taken, but were slain after a fierce battle. | |||

===Salvage=== | |||
The returned Ca'uor is encountered alongside Uorgotha, Scourge of the Deep as one of the possible final bosses of Salvage activities. After Uorgotha has reached the first checkpoint, he will reengage his immunity shield, and hordes of Taken will arrive, shortly followed by Ca'uor. He will fight the Guardians from very close to Uorgotha's immunity shield, coopting its protection. Once the reinforcements have been slain, Uorgotha will disengage the shield and start moving again towards the next checkpoint, and Ca'uor will disappear. This will continue until one of the two is slain. If Uorgotha dies first, Val Ca'uor will reappear and must be slain to complete the activity. | |||

*Upon his defeat, Ca'uor appears to be transmatted away at the last second. Despite this, he also evidently is disintegrated by the combined rupture of the psionic jelly and his magma pack. This would mean that if he were transmatted, all the Red Legion would receive is ashes and parts of his armor. | *Upon his defeat, Ca'uor appears to be transmatted away at the last second.

*Calus erroneously refers to Ca'uor as a Valus in the lore text for the [[Turris_Shade#Lore|Turris Shade Helm]].
