Caiatl, the Princess-Imperial is the daughter of the former Cabal Emperor Calus. She and a group of others staged a coup to overthrow Calus, only to succeed Dominus Ghaul as leader of the Empire following his death at the Red War. She will be the main antagonist of the Season of the Chosen.
Biography
Caiatl grew up liking war games and wearing armor and was close friends with Umun'arath. She was a star pilot in the military, and Calus was proud of her, and hoping that she would lead the Cabal to victory. However, she felt utter contempt and disgust for his lifestyle such as valuing zoos and plays over warfare, During the coup, she told Calus that she "would not be weak".
Two years after the Red Legion's defeat on Earth and Ghaul's death, Caiatl directed her own agents to eliminate one of the Shadows of Calus operating in the Human's solar system that was using The Fourth Horseman to kill remaining Red Legion personnel.[1]
While making preparations in war room making to lead her fellow Cabal into a new age, Caiatl contemplated the bitterness towards Calus and Ghaul for their failures. She blamed her father for his failure to their people in delving in vice and luxury, and Ghaul for his obsession with the Traveler. However, she also credited Calus for instilling within her a active imagination due to all the stories and plays he had subjected her to as a child, and now Caiatl planned on utilizing that imagination to save the Cabal and forge a better future for her people. She intended for this new future to be of war and conquest of rival nations under her direction so that the Cabal would rule the galaxy once more.[2]
To aid in her ambitions, Caiatl began attempting to rally the remains of the Red Legion back to her and the Empire and exhorted all loyal Cabal across the Solar System to prove themselves by capturing Calus. Although the remnants of the Red Legion on Earth, Nessus, and the Reef responded to her call and offered tribute, they could not comply with her orders as with the arrival of the Black Fleet to that system, the Leviathan disappeared without a trace.[3] She dispatched emissaries and scouts to the system, however, they began to report abandoned Red Legion camps with signs of internal conflicts.[4] Additionally, a mysterious disease of Hive origin began to spread amongst the fringes of the Cabal empire.[5]
