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. During the new Emperor's coronation, the Consul was stripped naked and brought before the assembled royal court at the edge of vast desert and ordered to run by Calus.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] | The Consul was a figure with close ties to the [[Cabal]] [[Praetorate]].

As the Red Legion sought to secure their hold on the Sol System, the Consul and Ghaul met with [[Bracus Zahn]], a rogue arms dealer. The Consul was angered by the ex-soldier's attitude toward the Dominus, and warned him about being flippant towards the Red Legion's leader. However, Zahn warned the Consul to not waste the time of the only arms dealer the Legion had, drawing the further ire of the Consul and the other Legionaries present due to the necessity of Zahn's services causing them to be unable to harm the disrespectful renegade Bracus.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/5/12)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] | As the Red Legion sought to secure their hold on the Sol System, the Consul and Ghaul met with [[Bracus Zahn]], a rogue arms dealer.
