The Consul was a figure with close ties to the [[Cabal]] [[Praetorate]]. When the Praetorate was overthrown by [[Emperor Calus]], the Consul lost all of his power and influence, and was personally castrated by Calus to ensure he would beget no heir.

Leading a group of the Emperor's closest allies and advisors, the coup took place under the cover of night during Calus's revelry; desposing him and making Ghaul the new [[Dominus]] of the Empire. At the request of his daughter [[Caiatl]], Calus and his [[Loyalists]] were instead exiled aboard [[The Leviathan]] and set adrift in space. With Dominus Ghaul now in charge of the Cabal, the Consul became his most trusted advisor and lifelong friend; working to undo the damage Calus's depravity caused during his reign.<ref>[[Cabal Booklet]]</ref> | ||
