Biography

The Midnight Coup

As the daughter of Emperor Calus, Caiatl grew up surrounded by his decadence and extravagant pleasures. Disgusted by his revelries, Caiatl instead found a friend and mentor in Evocate-General Umun'arath, the Primus of All Legions. She played games of war and conquest with the general to learn strategy and soon embraced the military lifestyle, wearing pressure armor at all times, even on the capital of Torobatl. Eventually Caiatl became a pilot in the legions and while scouting the frontier of the Cabal Empire saw numerous threats to its security which she did not believe Calus would be able to handle. Meeting with Umun'arath, who shared the same concerns about the exterior threats faced by the Empire, the two warriors made plans on how to deal with the situation.[1]

Caiatl and Umun'arath soon joined a conspiracy led by Primus Ghaul of the Red Legion and the exiled Consul to overthrow Calus and end his negligent rule of the Empire. Knowing Calus' closest secrets, Caiatl was a key player in the Midnight Coup, securing the throne room and the bone he kept there as part of a special arrangement that helped secure his throne. As her father rushed into the throne room to utilize the bone in the midst of the coup, Caiatl greeted him and vowed never to be weak before crushing the bone, ending his chances of stopping the coup.[1] Calus' popularity with the common people prevented the plotters from executing him, and he was instead imprisoned aboard The Leviathan and exiled to the edge of the galaxy along with his Loyalists by the ascended Dominus Ghaul.[2]

Rise of an Empress

"The Red Legion will march again."
— Empress Caiatl

Centuries later, Caiatl became the new ruler of the Cabal Empire after the demise of Dominus Ghaul during the Red War. Eschewing the title of Dominus, Caiatl claimed the title of Empress instead. While making preparations in her war room to lead her fellow Cabal into a new age, Caiatl contemplated her bitterness towards Calus and Ghaul in lieu of their failings. She blamed her father for delving their people in vice and luxury, and Ghaul for his obsession with the Traveler and its Light. 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.[3]

Standing in Caiatl's way of full control of the Cabal Empire was her father Calus, who had emerged from his exile shortly after Ghaul's death in the Sol System. She directed her own emissaries to eliminate one of her father's Shadow agents operating in the Human's solar system that was using The Fourth Horseman, an infamous Cabal killer, to eliminate remaining Red Legion personnel.[4]

To aid in her ambitions, Caiatl began attempting to rally the remnants of the Red Legion back to her side and exhorted all loyal Cabal across the Sol 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.[5] She dispatched emissaries and scouts to the system, however, they began to report abandoned Red Legion camps with signs of internal conflicts.[6] Additionally, a mysterious disease of Hive origin began to spread amongst the fringes of the Cabal empire.[7]

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Chosen Alliance

Following the defeat of the High Celebrant of Xivu Arath, Caiatl herself came to lead her forces in the Sol System. Wanting to secure an alliance with the Last City against the Hive, Caiatl arranged a meeting with the Guardians where she parlayed with the Vanguard Commander Zavala and Osiris. Her demands for Zavala to submit before her were rebutted by the Titan commander to which she challenged him to a war game, pitting the Guardians against the strongest of her Cabal army in bid for dominance.

Personality and Traits

Despite Caiatl's royal status, she did not share her father's appreciation for luxury. She instead embraced a militant lifestyle, which eventually led to her turning on her father and aiding Dominus Ghaul's rise to power.[1] However, she came to later view Ghaul with disgust and embarrassment as well due to his obsession with the Traveler and claiming the Light, viewing him as another weak ruler whose failings necessitated her rise to Empress to save the Cabal Empire from ruin.[3]

One of the few things that Caiatl did enjoy was flying, and she became a highly capable pilot to facilitate this love.[1]
