Cabal

How do the Cabal fit in as bad guys? Hive = evil. Vex = evil. Fallen = Not sure? The Cabal seem like they are a military power looking to defend their empire, not racially wipe out humanity. Can someone give me some more back story to them?

  • WE CABALS ARE NOT EVIL! The fallen have invaded earth and want to kill you all. Fallen =evil The hive wants to do the same thing, take over you planet. You humans gave up the moon to delay them and fight back. Hive = evil Vex took over mercury and is doing the same thing with Venus and soon earth vex=evil We cabals took over Mars, we don't want to fight you. Remember, we will kill anything that gets in our way. If you don't bother us, we won't bother you. We are not evil, you just got into our way.

  • Tbh Hive and maybe Vex are the only ones that really come across as "evil" to me. The Fallen are basically scavenger space pirates and the Cabal are a galactic empire. Neither are necessarily evil but no one wants to be conquered(by the Cabal) or murdered for their loot(The Fallen)

  • Fallen = Vengeful Reclaimers. Want to restore their Honor by taking back the Traveler killing those the Traveler chose no matter the cost. Cabal = Conquerers. Want everything that's useful to them to be theirs. Both are to some extent evil.

  • They are from another system. They are fleeing something. I don't think they are evil just ruthless.

  • The Cabal all look like Space Marines that didn't make it past boot camp.

  • I've always wondered about the Cabal. Bounties killing the Cabal make you collect "tears". Odd choice of words. They battle the Vex constantly and I find myself wanting to help them only to then have to kill them as well. Is it possible they are not the bad guy? Is it possible WE are?

  • I wouldn't say defend, I forgot where I read it, perhaps in the Grimoires, but the Cabal on Mars come from a vast empire star systems away from ours. They aren't defending, they're expanding.

    • They're conquerors. They would conquer and rule Earth if they had the chance. Luckily the Vex have them tied up on Mars.

    • Think of them more like the Spanish Conquistadors. They are a military organization expanding their empire and we are the small native species they will have to wipe out eventually.
