Destiny 2 - All Calus Cutscenes & Quest Dialogue [Complete] - Full Story

Destiny 2 - The Full Story of Emperor Calus

This is the entire story and lore of Calus that we have had so far in in-game events.

Overview:
Calus was the former emperor of the Cabal people on their homeward of Torobatl. However, he was overthrown by Ghaul, the Red Legion and other conspirators including his own daughter, Caiatl who, in present day, is implied to be the new leader of the Red Legion as of Season of the Worthy. These conspirators overthrew him in an event known as the "Midnight Coup". However, Calus wouldn't die, and since he was so beloved by the people, Ghaul and the other conspirators exiled Calus aboard the Leviathan on a fixed course through deep space. Eventually, Calus, isolated on his Leviathan, would become deeply depressed and his will to live was all but diminished. But, then he reached a place in space that was uncharted and left the safety of the Leviathan's interior to investigate a disturbance for himself. In this moment, he stares into a vast void of nothingness before seeing The Darkness (aka the Pyramid Ships) destroying everyone and everything. This vision shown by the void changed Calus, and he decided to start living life to the fullest and has made it his goal to seek out shadows to stand at his side when The End comes and he wishes to be the last being alive when the universe Collapses. He would eventually would take an interest in us, after all his shadows were unable to kill Ghaul but we were able to do the impossible. Ever since, he'd invite us to explore his Leviathan in the hope of making us the Shadow of Earth. In Penumbra (aka Season of Opulence), he would create a bather who was strong of will and mind, named Gahlran. Who was meant to bear a Hive artifact that Cauls discovered on a Hive war moon called the "Crown of Sorrow". Cauls made Gahlran wear the crown so that Calus could have agency over the Hive. However, the Crown was a trap set by the witch queen, Savathun and the viral language inscribed within the helmet would drive Gahlran mad and would transform into nothing more than a puppet for The Witch Queen. Eventually, we would put Gahlran out of his misery and Calus remarks that we will need the Crown of Sorrow when "The End" comes and that the future can not be fought. After this, the Crown of Sorrow would split the Leviathan between our reality and the Ascendant Plane, which is accessed in the Tribute Hall as part of the Bad Juju quest which Calus' loyalists are sent in to recover in the Ascendant Plane. In the end, Calus will play a large role when The End comes and I believe, with the release of Beyond Light and the fact that all Leviathan raids are going away, that Calus will pull his Leviathan back to Torobatl to face his traitorous daughter Caiatl and I do not believe we will see Calus again until the Lightfall expansion in 2022.
