Katabasis (character)

Overview

Katabasis was a male Human Hunter (Nightstalker subclass) and one of Emperor Calus's Shadow operatives. He was a Vanguard who left the Last City during the Red War and joined Calus's loyalists, rising to the rank of Shadow of Calus. He took illicit solo missions for Calus, including hunting on Venus and capturing a Scorn.

Captain's Log

The Captain's Log entries from Season of the Chosen (released February 2021) tell his story aboard the Glykon Volatus. Katabasis and Qinziq seize the ship from the Red Legion, and the crew captures a Scorn. Calus boards with the Crown of Sorrow to commune with the Witness, the experiment goes wrong, and Katabasis is killed on the bridge. In the final entries Gilgamesh turns against him, and the Guardian later finds his body on the bridge during Presage.
