Ghaul was born as a [[Cabal]] outcast, apparently having been left for dead. From his youth, he was rejected and tormented by his fellow trainees within his Legion, which he claims made him stronger as a result. Ghaul was raised to believe he and the Red Legion should have received the Traveler's power, and that in choosing [[humanity]], it made the wrong choice. At some point, Ghaul rose to become a prominent military leader in the Cabal Empire, eventually rising up to usurp [[Dominus Calus]]'s throne in a military coup with the aid of The Consul, establishing himself as the newly-enrolled Cabal Emperor.<ref>http://www.gameinformer.com/games/destiny_2/b/playstation4/archive/2017/06/11/destiny-2s-lead-creators-discuss-story-direction.aspx?utm_content=buffer3568d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer</ref> In attacking the City, Ghaul sought to show the Traveler the error of its ways and establish a new order of Guardians from within the ranks of his own species.<ref name="Destiny 2 Gameplay Premiere Livestream (US)"/><ref name="Rally the Troops"/><ref>[https://www.engadget.com/2017/05/19/destiny-2-tackles-the-originals-storytelling-problems/ '''engadget''' - ''‘Destiny 2’ tackles the original’s biggest problem: storytelling'']</ref><ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/may/22/destiny-2-how-a-fresh-start-let-bungie-make-its-biggest-game-yet '''The Guardian''' - ''Destiny 2: how a fresh start let Bungie make its biggest game yet'']</ref>
Ghaul was born as a [[Cabal]] outcast, having been left for dead as an orphan. From his youth, he was rejected and tormented by his fellow trainees within his Legion, which he claims made him stronger as a result. Ghaul was raised to believe he and the Red Legion should have received the Traveler's power, and that in choosing [[humanity]], it made the wrong choice. At some point, Ghaul became a target of [[The Consul]], a disgruntled member of the Cabal [[Praetorate]] who desired to influence and raise him as his pupil, in the hopes that he could start a rebellion against [[Dominus Calus|Calus]]. Years later, Ghaul grew to become a prominent commander in the Empire, where under the Consul's discretion, led a rebellion against Calus with the aid of the [[Praetorate]], successfully managing to exile Calus to the Leviathan.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/6xjp7j/spoiler_destiny_2_collectors_edition_and_cabal/</ref><ref>http://www.gameinformer.com/games/destiny_2/b/playstation4/archive/2017/06/11/destiny-2s-lead-creators-discuss-story-direction.aspx?utm_content=buffer3568d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer</ref> In attacking the City, Ghaul sought to show the Traveler the error of its ways and establish a new order of Guardians from within the ranks of his own species.<ref name="Destiny 2 Gameplay Premiere Livestream (US)"/><ref name="Rally the Troops"/><ref>[https://www.engadget.com/2017/05/19/destiny-2-tackles-the-originals-storytelling-problems/ '''engadget''' - ''‘Destiny 2’ tackles the original’s biggest problem: storytelling'']</ref><ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/may/22/destiny-2-how-a-fresh-start-let-bungie-make-its-biggest-game-yet '''The Guardian''' - ''Destiny 2: how a fresh start let Bungie make its biggest game yet'']</ref>

Ghaul also views himself with high esteem to the point of arrogance, condescendingly calling [[The Guardian]] a "creature," telling them to not to look at him afterward. In addition, he believes that he alone is worthy of the Traveler's Light and its gifts. Therefore, he feels that the Guardians don't deserve the Traveler's Light as him and his people do, displaying traits of megalomania.

However, Ghaul was not always like this, as Calus' journal revealed that Ghaul was once an innocent orphan, who was adopted by The Consul, meant to be used as a proxy to usurp Calus and the Empire.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/6xjp7j/spoiler_destiny_2_collectors_edition_and_cabal/</ref>
