Primus

A Primus is the commander of a Cabal Legion, or a high ranking commander within one. According to Cayde-6 this is the equivalent of an "admiral".^[1]

Overview

Primuses often are Colossi or Centurions, but are bigger and more powerful than normal Cabal troops,^[2] and their loss would cause disorder within a Legion. If a Primus dies, or is rendered unfit, the Cabal Empire will send a replacement via fresh fleets or troops.
