![]() But in time the jealous and the tight-fisted rose up and sent me into exile." - Emperor Calus " For centuries, I led the revels of my empire, and the stars themselves burnt sweet and clear. It is Calus' belief that she eventually committed suicide due to her powerlessness and isolation. While he was born near the end of her life, the Praetorate feared a succession crisis and forced the previous Empress to live upon a ship that was kept near light speed constantly, using the relativistic effects to slow her aging to an effective eternity. By the time of his birth, most of the throne's power had been taken over by a military aristocracy known as the Praetorate, who strictly controlled his life to a degree he openly compared to slavery. Calus would ultimately meet his fate at the hands of his former Shadow who killed him in battle using the power of Strand.Ĭalus was known as the Prince Designate to the Cabal Empire and to succeed the Empress before him. Becoming the main antagonist in Lightfall, Calus unleashed his Shadow Legion in an all-out siege on the Neptunian city of Neomuna, to reclaim the Veil at the behest of the Witness, although their efforts were met with resistance from the Young Wolf, along with Osiris, Caiatl, and the Cloud Striders of Neomuna. However, he was challenged by a coalition comprising the Vanguard and his daughter Empress Caiatl, thwarting his attempted connection with the Pyramid.ĭespite their efforts, the exiled Emperor had successfully gave himself in service to the Witness, and underwent a physical transformation into the newest of its paracausal Disciples. His consciousness having fully integrated with the Egregore-infested Leviathan, Calus sought control over the Lunar Pyramid by psychically melding his conciousness with the vessel. ![]() Following Ghaul’s death in the Red War, Calus traveled to the Sol System to scout the Young Wolf and their fellow Guardians as his Shadows to have by his side as he prepared for the coming of the Black Fleet and what he believed to be the end of all things.Īfter the Black Fleet returned to the Sol System, he communed with the Witness, becoming his anointed Herald. He ruled the Cabal Empire for over a thousand years, until he was overthrown in a coup led by Dominus Ghaul and exiled to aimlessly wander the galaxy aboard the Leviathan. Emperor Calus has spoken.Įmperor Calus is the former Emperor of the Cabal. I leave you with those words, and these parting gifts. There is power in the universe beyond your feeble Light. If you seek the means to live to your potential, I can guide you to it.
