The '''Shadows of Calus''' | The '''Shadows of Calus''' is an elite team of [[Loyalists|Loyalist]] champions in the service of [[Emperor Calus]], composed of individuals from various civilizations personally recruited by Calus during his exile. | ||
==History== | |||
In the days immediately before the [[Red Legion]] set out to the [[Solar System]] to [[Red War|wipe out]] the [[Guardian]]s, Calus deployed his Shadows to assassinate the various conspirators behind the [[Ghaul's coup|coup]] that deposed him. While the Shadows succeeded in eliminating nearly everyone on Calus's hit list except [[Caiatl]], [[Umun'arath]], [[Otzot]], [[The Consul]] and [[Dominus Ghaul]], none of them survived their mission. | |||
In the aftermath of the [[Red War]], Calus had since started auditioning [[Guardian]]s to replace them as the newest generation of Shadows, starting with a [[Leviathan (raid)|trial]] through [[The Leviathan]]. They would later aid the emperor in clearing his ship of incursions from the [[Leviathan, Eater of Worlds|Vex]], [[Leviathan, Spire of Stars|Red Legion]] and [[Crown of Sorrow (raid)|Hive]] in addition to proving their mettle in the [[Menagerie]]; to which the Guardians that succeeded were given the title of Shadow much to the concerns of the [[Vanguard]] and the suspicions of [[Aunor Mahal]]. | In the aftermath of the [[Red War]], Calus had since started auditioning [[Guardian]]s to replace them as the newest generation of Shadows, starting with a [[Leviathan (raid)|trial]] through [[The Leviathan]].
