"Your journey ends... here"

— Dominus Ghaul

Dominus Ghaul is a Cabal warlord and the leader of the Red Legion. Ghaul arrived in the solar system following the Skyburners' distress call with the goal of claiming the Traveler and its Light for himself. He successfully led his forces in a surprise attack against the City, having eliminated the Vanguard satellites before attacking the Tower and isolating the Traveler within a restraining shield, leaving the Guardians displaced and powerless.

Biography

"Today we know our enemy, his name is—"
"Gary! Or Gill; Glenn? Is it—I don't know! It's something with a G!"
"Ghaul!"

— Zavala and Cayde-6

From his youth, Ghaul was raised to believe he and the Red Legion should have received the Traveler's power, and that in choosing humanity, it made the wrong choice. In attacking the City, Ghaul sought to show the Traveler the error of its ways and establish a new order of Guardians from within the ranks of his own species.

Traits

• Ghaul appears to be an adept strategist, choosing to launch his invasion during a severe thunderstorm that concealed his warships from visual detection until it was too late. Ghaul also managed to accomplish, in the span of several hours, what the other races could not do in centuries.

Trivia

• Cayde-6, who couldn't properly remember his name, calls Ghaul "Gary", which has quickly evolved to a memetic status on the Reddit forums.
• Ghaul is the first Cabal character to fluently speak English, and the fourth overall antagonist to do so.
