When [[Emperor Calus]] arrived at the gas giants the Sindû inhabited, he invited them to join his Empire. They refused, and Jarus led a battalion of pilots to assault the invader's flagship, the [[The Leviathan|Leviathan]]. The assault failed, and Jarus awoke aboard the Leviathan in restraints with Calus standing over him. As he wondered what happened to his fellow pilots, Calus spoke, declaring that he had rescued Jarus and that he would become his Ace-Defiant.<ref name="HotAD" | When [[Emperor Calus]] arrived at the gas giants the Sindû inhabited, he invited them to join his Empire.

Calus informed him that if he took the armor, Jarus would become his, and then departed alongside his guard, leaving Jarus with a choice between service and death.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Armor_of_the_Ace-Defiant#Grips_of_the_Ace-Defiant|Grips of the Ace-Defiant]]''</ref> | ||
Jarus chose to serve Calus and became one of his Shadows, elite agents who hunted down Calus' enemies and carried out special missions for the Emperor.

As he waited to ambush Shayotet's ship, Jarus was contacted by Calus, who criticized the pilot's lack of appreciation for the wine made from his homeworld's surface. Their disagreement was cut short when Shayotet's forces arrived and attacked ''God's Will''. As Jarus engaged the Cabal forces, Calus promised to save a drink for him upon his return.<ref name="BotAD"/> Jarus succeeded in shooting down Shayotet's ship and followed the doomed vessel to the surface of a nearby planet. Shayotet survived the crash in a drop pod, but Jarus landed nearby and opened fire with his pistols, which had also been gifted to him by Calus. The Cabal warrior shrugged off the assault and charged Jarus, who holstered his pistols. When Shayotet was close enough Jarus activated his energy blade and slit the massive warrior's throat, bringing an end to his life. Returning to his ship, Jarus contacted Calus, who expressed pride in his Shadow's actions and had another drink in Jarus' honor.<ref name="VotAD"/> | ||
When Calus learned that Dominus Ghaul was going to the [[Solar System|Sol System]] to combat the [[Traveler]] and its [[Guardian]]s, he decided to follow and have the Shadows attempt to assassinate Ghaul. Jarus was asked to pilot the rest of the Shadows aboard a heavily reinforced ship to Ghaul's flagship, with Calus ordering him to get the other Shadows aboard by any means necessary. Jarus formulated a plan to crash into Ghaul's vessel, sacrificing his own life to give the others a chance to kill the Cabal's leader.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] | When Calus learned that Dominus Ghaul was going to the [[Solar System|Sol System]] to combat the [[Traveler]] and its [[Guardian]]s, he decided to follow and have the Shadows attempt to assassinate Ghaul.
