Valus Mau'ual is a Cabal commander encountered in the Shield Brothers Strike. He is a bond-brother with both Primus Ta'aun and Valus Tlu'urn, and is part of the landing party aboard Dantalion Exodus VI, the warship that the Sky Burners ram into the Dreadnaught. Either as a gambit to compel the Hive to surrender or to avenge the loss of Primus Ta'aun, Mau'ual and Tlu'urn breach the Dreadnaught's power core and threaten to destroy it, which would destroy the Hive vessel and take half of the Solar System with it. Mau'ual and Tlu'urn aid each other in battle against a Guardian strike team; if Tlu'urn falls first, Mau'ual gains his Arc cannon and shield projector for the remainder of the battle. Mau'ual uses his brother's cannon to even more devastating effect, as he can use it to fire homing missiles like those of a Colossus. However, he will still chase players down and leave Solar traps in his wake as his primary method of attack, so it is recommended that players kill Mau'ual first so that they don't have to run the risk of running from both melee and ranged attacks.
