He was later assassinated by [[Rull|Rull, Gun of Kaga Clipse]] after a decision by the exiled emperor to dispose of the merchant for failing as a supporter.
'''Iska'al''' of [[Fantor]] was a merchant in the Cabal empire. He was often visited by [[Emperor Calus]] who would partake in his tea and share information that he felt he could trust Iska'al with. He later betrayed Calus as he participated in [[Ghaul's coup|the coup led by]] Ghaul.


==Biography==
==Biography==
In the first days of Calus's initial purge of the [[Praetorate]], Iska'al was merely a poverty-stricken tea merchant when the newly coronated [[Cabal Emperor]] had moved the empire's capital to the homeworld of [[Torobatl]] to be near its people. In the first days of office, Calus recurrently visited his cart after parading himself in public. Iska'al - whom Calus believed to be trustworthy at that time - would be privy to the Emperor's private secrets and affairs; including his own personal troubles and deepest concerns.<ref name="Cabal Booklet">'''[[Cabal Booklet]]''', "[[Cabal_Booklet#The_Confidante:_Iska.27al_of_Fantor|The Confidante: Iska'al of Fantor]]"</ref>
Iska'al was a poor merchant, who sold teas and invited Calus to confide in him. Calus believed Iska'al to be trustworthy - and thus told him his deepest concerns. Calus was wrong. After the Midnight Coup, he became wealthy selling teas to the soldiers of the [[Red Legion]] - who would insult him, calling him ''the Imperial informant'' as though he would send word to Calus. Calus held a vendetta against him due to his inaction; he believed so strongly in the pure value of the individual he perceived inaction (when any dissent would have resulted in his death) to be a form of treason. Despite this, he proscribed he should be killed by an overdose of opiates - so that he could die in ecstasy.  


After the events of the Midnight Coup, however, Iska'al became wealthy as his teas had found popularity among a clique of [[Red Legion]] soldiers, who would tease him by calling him the "Imperial Informant" as though he would send word to Calus. The former emperor himself would develop a personal vendetta against the merchant due to his perceived inaction to which he deemed to be a form of treason. Despite this, he proscribed Isa'kal should be killed by an overdose of opiates - so that he could die in ecstasy.<ref name="Cabal Booklet"/>
During a celebration, one of Calus's [[Shadows|assassins]], [[Rull]], snuck into his estate. Iska'al attempted to crawl away as his guards were killed in front of him. In the end, Iska'al was drowned by a goblet of Calus' own wine.
