(Realizing that there is no reference I can find that Iska'al had ever willingly participated in the coup. He was just an innocent victim of Calus's vanity.) Tag: Mobile edit |

The '''Midnight Coup''' (also known as '''Ghaul's coup''') was a military-led coup d'état against the former [[Cabal Emperor]], [[Emperor Calus|Calus]]. It occurred thousands of years before the [[Red War]] | The '''Midnight Coup''' (also known as '''Ghaul's coup''') was a military-led coup d'état against the former [[Cabal Emperor]], [[Emperor Calus|Calus]]. It occurred thousands of years before the [[Red War]] and resulted in [[Dominus Ghaul|Ghaul]]'s ascension to [[Dominus]] of the [[Cabal|Cabal Empire]], as well as the militarization of [[Cabal]] culture. Most members of the coup were assassinated by Calus's shadows, except for the Consul and Ghaul, who the former was killed by the latter, and the latter was killed by the Guardians. The only confirmed survivor is [[Empress Caiatl|Caiatl]], as [[Freeborn Otzot|Otzot]]'s whereabouts are currently unknown. | ||

Over the years during his exile, Calus longed for revenge against those who betrayed him. After encountering the [[The Witness|Witness]] at the edge of the universe, Calus believed that the end was near and resolved to be the last being left before the end claims him as well. But first, he desired retribution against Ghaul and his collaborators. Regaining control over The Leviathan, Calus traveled throughout the Cosmos, encountering a multitude of civilizations that intrigued him. From these civilizations, Calus gathered a single member from each, the greatest of their species, and formed the [[Shadows of Calus]], his elite assassins who would eliminate his betrayers. By the time the Red War had begun, the Shadows of Calus had eliminated the majority of the conspirators but they all perished in the attempt to kill Ghaul himself. | Over the years during his exile, Calus longed for revenge against those who betrayed him.
