Vice Regent Grand Carnus Admiral Roathe is a Protoframe possessing Uriel traits. A member of The Devil's Triad alongside Marie and Lyon, the two were tasked by Albrecht Entrati to monitor the devil Roathe. He is also notably an Orokin who was present during The Old War as a war commander. He can be encountered in La Cathédrale after completing The Old Peace quest.

Lore and History --
Unlike many royal Orokin, Roathe was a direct commander of Dax during The Old War. He is sometimes nicknamed the "Devil of Tau" due to his ruthless determination to win at all costs. It continued to be used as a title for him as he defected to Anarchs along with his lover Executor Nitokh, and also represented his unrepentant attitude towards his past, in addition to his strong dislike of the Orokin for their spoiling of Tau and for wasting the moral compromises he made in their name.
He is initially annoyed with the presence of Marie and Lyon, regarding them as as superstitious throwbacks to an earlier time before Void science and resenting both the fact that Albrecht Entrati assigned them as his wardens and that he requires their assistance and the Drifter's in uncovering his memories within The Descendia, though he acknowledges their necessity.
Roathe was brought to XX99 through a Helminth, which immediately withered and died on arrival. He was able to reverse-engineer one, albeit with significant difficulty due to lack of electricity and equipment, through his Infested blood from the Protoframe serum, to bring himself, Marie, and Lyon to the Sanctum Anatomica, where they now reside within a replica of the Cathedral's crypts.

Roathe is a complex, pragmatic, and highly intelligent Orokin Protoframe who values efficiency and philosophical debate while harboring self-loathing for his kind. As a nuanced antagonist, he presents a "good person" born into a corrupt society, often appearing charming and conversational while harboring deep hate for the Orokin Empire, himself, and his deeds.
....
As a protoframe, he features blue skin and a tail, often appearing to be in physical pain or under extreme stress, with a desperate or euphoric look.

Other --
The Drifter is an alternate-timeline version of the Tenno (Operator) in Warframe who did not receive Void powers after the Zariman Ten-Zero incident and was never rescued, leading to a life of survival in the Void and eventually Duviri. Introduced in The New War quest, they represent an "unrealized possibility" who relies on intelligence, tools, and guns (like the Sirocco) rather than Warframe abilities.
