Cabal

This article is a stub. You can help Destinypedia by expanding it.

The Cabal are an alien race with a heavy-set, rhinoceros like appearance. They are one of many species with the intent to destroy humanity. They are in control of the Dust Palace (also known as the Exclusion Zone) on Mars. Members of the Cabal are known to carry slug throwers or rifle-like weaponry. Concept art shows Cabal working together with Fallen, indicating a possible alliance between the two races, but this is just speculation.^[1]^[2]

Biology

The Cabal are a hulking, vaguely humanoid species. They are bipedal, and very heavy-set. According to concept art, the Cabal appear to be carnivorous as they have sharp, irregular teeth. They have wrinkled, gray, leathery skin, a tall skull, dark wide-set eyes, and a very high, inverted-V-shaped upper lip that exposes the Cabal's upper gums and fangs. ^[3]

Trivia

A cabal is a group of people united in some close design together, usually to promote their private views or interests in a church, state, or other community, often by intrigue. Usually when organizations are labelled "cabal" it is meant with a dark or sinister intent.^[4]
The presumed political alliance between the Cabal and the Fallen is similar to the religious and military alliance made by the coalition of alien species known as the Covenant from Bungie's Halo series of videogames.
A Legionnaire or Legionary and Centurion were military ranks in the armies of the ancient Roman Republic and, later, the Roman Empire.
