 Encountering many races, both old and new, such as the [[Clipse]], [[Sindû]], and [[Arkborn]], Calus brought all of them into the folds of his Great Leviathan. He created the [[Shadows]] as his elite champions, allied with aliens such as the [[Clipse]]<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Armor_of_Rull#Gauntlets_of_Rull|Gauntlets of Rull]]''</ref> and the [[Sindu]]<ref name="HotAD">'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Armor_of_the_Ace-Defiant#Helm_of_the_Ace-Defiant|Helm of the Ace-Defiant]]''</ref>, and sent messages promising that whoever slew his conspirators would be given great wealth and glory.

-Sometime following the Guardians recent battles with the [[Kell's Scourge]] and dealings with the [[The Drifter (character)|Drifter]], Emperor Calus called upon the Guardians once more for a challenge that threatens his Leviathan. One of his former Shadows, [[Gahlran]], had gone mad after using the Hive artifact the [[Crown of Sorrow]].

-Calus had the Guardians form a Raid team to purge his space craft of Gahlran and his Hive. The Guardians traversed the treasure vaults and encounter many dangerous Hive rituals but manage to persevere and reach Galhran himself. Despite the Crown granting Gahlran great dark Hive powers, the Guardians managed to slay the Sorrow-bearer, completely purging the Hive from the Leviathan. Calus, pleased with their continued successes, rewards the Guardians with great riches and officially names them one of his Shadows.

+He would also order his loyalists to lay siege of a forgotten [[Hive]] [[War moon]] in order to obtain and eldritch Hive artifact called the [[Crown of Sorrow]]. Calus' Councilors concluded that the Crown was a two way conduit to the [[Ascendant realm]], and he later sought out to use it in order to subjugate the Hive under his rule. This however was a desperate ploy by [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]] in order to take control of Calus. But he however saw through this minor trick and didn't have any intention of putting it on himself as he desired a Shadow to do it for him.
+Sometime following the Guardians recent battles with the [[Kell's Scourge]] and dealings with the [[The Drifter (character)|Drifter]], Emperor Calus was able to create what he believed to be the perfect candidate to utilize the power of the Crown of Sorrow through [[Gahlran, the Sorrow-Bearer]]. Though Gahlran was bred to control the artifact to further Calus's goals, he was ultimately consumed by it as Savathûn's influence was too strong for the Shadow, which allowed her Hive to infest the deep treasure vaults of the Leviathan.<ref name="Am I to Cast a Shadow?">'''Bungie (2019/6/3)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]], [[Weblore]]: [[Weblore#"Am I to Cast a Shadow?"|"Am I to Cast a Shadow?"]]''</ref>
+Calus called up the Guardians to form a Raid team to purge his space craft of Gahlran and his Hive. The Guardians traversed the treasure vaults and encounter many dangerous Hive rituals but manage to persevere and reach Galhran himself. Despite the Crown granting Gahlran great dark Hive powers, the Guardians managed to slay the Sorrow-bearer, completely purging the Hive from the Leviathan. Calus, pleased with their continued successes, rewards the Guardians with great riches and officially names them one of his Shadows.
 The Guardians accession to Shadow became sour news towards some in the Last City, particularly the Warlock [[Aunor Mahal]], who believed that Calus is subverting the Guardians's priorities, brought her concerns and findings to the Vanguard. She proposed that the Last City should storm the Leviathan and take Calus out before his plans come to fruition. Unfortunately for the Praxic Warlock, while the Vanguard acknowledged that Calus was no ally, he kept the Red Legion in check and supplied the Guardians, nor did they wish to start a war with him. They reasoned that in time, Calus's influence over the Guardians will fall and if the Cabal Emperor does make a wrong move, they will not hesitate to send a strike team. Calus and his Loyalists in the meantime employ the use of Guardians to acquire old relics from Red Legion deserters.
