Woah. What if Charlemagne (Guardian gone rogue, has many ties to Cabal) is the Cabal Emperor? Imagine a Cutscene where your guardian is taken captive by Cabal forces, taken to the Throne room, and he/she's on he/she's knees. Smoke surrounds the room as a mysteriously small figure rises from the Throne. Psion? No, they aren't high-ranking Cabal soldiers. A new Cabal sub-species? It's a possibility. But when the smoke clears, all you see is a human. Not a Cabal Psion. Not some mutated Cabal leader. No, a human. Someone you read stories about at the tower. A Guardian gone rogue. Charlemagne. He walks up to you, knife in hand. "Ah, so this is the Guardian causing me so many problems. You know, I used to be like you once. A Guardian. You've probably heard the stories, yes? 'Guardian gone rogue. A traitor to the City. A coward' Rogue? Yes. Traitor? Indeed, though not for the reason you'd think. A coward? Does it look like I'm a coward? Here I am, sitting on a Cabal throne, leading an empire. But back to the subject. You've caused me problems, but I'm going to let you live. Why? I want to send a message to the City. [b]I'm coming back.[/b] Tell that worthless piece of [i](unknown Cabal word)[/i] you call the Speaker that I'm coming for him. Did anyone ever warn you of him? Probably not. But that doesn't matter now does it. Get this Guardian out of my sight. Prepare the warships. Give the Psions the signal to start load the dropships. We are headed for Earth." Cabal Centurions take you to a ship. Soon mysterious smoke surrounds you. You black out.
