Other gamers: This is gonna be a DESTINY KILLER

Destiny:*Doesn’t die*

Other gamers:

Destiny vets that have been through this drama a million times:

He is a raid boss, but it’s his puppet-robot you fight. There aren’t a lot of solid details on Calus himself except that he has strong psychic powers and acts through robot-puppets instead of being there physically. But he’s still very much alive and active. 

As for why: Many people - myself included - like Calus because he has an interesting middle ground. Most aliens in fiction are either with or against humanity; good or evil. But Calus likes the Guardians, he loves them for their refusal to succumb even against the most overwhelming odds and sees them as the perfect asset to his plans (that, and they killed his arch nemesis Ghaul.) He’s hedonistic and believes life should be lived with pleasure and bliss, and wants to extend that lifestyle to all who serve him. Sound pretty good, right? Except that he’s absolutely not a good person. Yes, he has standards and is capable of genuine good, but he’s self-centered and egotistical. He sees himself as an infallible god and cannot tolerate any sort of defiance, and isn’t hesitant to coerce and threaten people, or even destroy them.

That, and he’s the literal manifestation of the Roman Empire. If you know their history, you should know what dicks they were.
