-*The Consul is the fifth overall antagonist observed speaking English, and the second [[Cabal]] to be seen doing so.
+*The Consul is the fifth antagonist observed speaking English, and the second [[Cabal]] to be seen doing so.
-*The Consul and Emperor Calus are the only two Cabal in-game with a completely visible face and head, unlike Dominus Ghaul who bears a mask that covers his lower face.
+*The Consul and Emperor Calus are the only two Cabal depicted in-game with a completely visible face and head.
-*The fashion in which the Consul was killed was ironically desired by Emperor Calus, as he wanted the Consul to die by his own weapons. Ghaul, who was used as a weapon during the Consul's coup, unknowingly carried out that sentence.
+*The fashion in which the Consul was killed ironically met the specifications desired by Emperor Calus; Calus wanted the Consul to die by his own weapons, and he was ultimately killed by Ghaul, who was used by the Consul as a "weapon" during the [[Midnight Coup (event)|Midnight Coup]].
-*Even though the Consul is shown to be much smaller than Ghaul the helmet on his necklace should say otherwise as comparing the size of the helmet to the Consul and the Ghost cores he should be about as tall as Calus if not bigger yet the Ghost cores show he should be the size of a Legionary plus with his size relation to Ghaul both in cutscenes and gameplay. This may be a Developer oversight as the Hunter helmet seen was not able to be used as a reference as it's not in Destiny 2.

 **This is a clear reference to the treacherous [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iago Iago] of ''Othello''.
 *The bottom of the Consul's shoulder pauldrons are shaped like [[War Beast]] faces, possibly (along with the concept art and Calus' Journal) showing him to have an affinity for them.
-**However his fascination is never seen in-game.
-*The Consul mentions that other civilizations aside from Humans were more precise in what to name the Traveler, yet he and his Dominus still call it the Traveler. This may be for narrative simplicity.
