For thousands of years, the Cabal lived isolated from the reemerging human race. At some point, our emperors were abolished in favor of two Consul, which was intended to make fair decisions as to the empire's actions. However, the first and only pair were corrupt, and collaborated to exploit our beautiful city. A few centuries passed with no stars at the spire's peak.
I was born and raised under this tyrannical rule, and I grew disgusted with it. Once I was of age, I became a politician, giving the people what they wanted, what they needed. I shared my wealth, and eventually, I had a large enough following to confront the Consuls. I begged them to step down from their positions for the betterment of the empire, but one of them tried to kill me. A brave soldier, Ca'uor, saved my life, at the cost of the Consul's. Seeing this, the Cabal elected me as their leader, and my first act was to abolish the last Consul into exile, and he was sent to the deserts of the kingdom you call Vacuo.
For his bravery and unflinching loyalty, I named Ca'uor as the Dominus, and he became my closest friend. For a year, I denied the role of emperor, as I was raised to bow only to those with royal blood in their veins and wished the same for my fellow imperials. However, they set up a coronation for me, and I am no hypocrite, and so gave the people what they wanted.
As the crown was placed upon my head in the royal chambers, a new star erupted into existence.
Many more millennia passed, and in that time, while alone in the Celestial Observatory, I looked further than had ever been seen. Past the reach of the Nine, past the fleets of Oryx's sister, past anything the Vex had ever seen. I looked at the edge of the entire universe, and, well, I don't want to describe it, it was quite a private moment, but I was changed then and there. It was how I became aware of your world. I knew that an end was upon my world, and I would not waste the rest of my life.
Another day that I will not disclose about is the day a second star joined my own. It remains here to this day.
Then, in very, very, recent history, came a day that saddened me greatly. Dominus Ca'uor requested to meet with me to discuss our approach towards the recent and impending actions of Salem, Mara and Crota. He arrived with his Blood Guard, his most elite and trusted generals. As soon as the room was secured, the Blood Guard attacked me, and it was fortunate that my body was an automaton through which I was acting. My guards seized the traitors immediately.
I felt betrayed and was in anguish. Ca'uor, my most trusted friend, the one person I trusted with my deepest, darkest secret, had attempted to kill me. He pleaded that he wasn't responsible, that the Guard acted of their own accord. I did not believe him. He came to me to go to the kingdoms, so his punishment was exile. The entire Red Legion was held accountable, and they all left before the next dawn.
