Sorren, better known as the Stalker or the Shadow, is a major antagonist in the MMO third-person shooter Warframe.
He is an enigmatic, vengeful figure with a personal hatred for the Tenno. He watches them from the shadows, cataloguing their individual sins and hunting them down until each and every one of them has paid for their crimes.
After the Sentient Hunhow was awakened from his tomb, he reached out to the Stalker and offered him a partnership with the goal of exterminating the Tenno once and for all. Later, the Stalker was approached by a group that shared his hatred for the Tenno and swore their allegiance to him.
Appearance: The Stalker resembles a black, grey and red Excalibur Warframe with a custom helmet, his body almost always shrouded in a black fog. He wields a black bow called Dread, throwing knives with mono-filament edges called Despair and a scythe called Hate.
After joining forces with Hunhow, Stalker's appearance changed slightly, now including more metal and a thin loincloth. As a gift, Hunhow bestowed the Stalker with armor forged out of Sentient bones that grants him the Sentient's signature ability to adapt to and weaken various damage types and a greatsword called War, which is directly linked with Hunhow's consciousness.
Backstory: Little is known about Stalker's past life, but his Codex entry and revelations from the Jade Shadows quest give some small perspective. The Stalker was originally a human named Sorren, a member of the caste of low guardians in the Orokin Empire and was present for the end of the Old War. In secret, Sorren had a relationship with a woman named Jade, something that was inexplicably forbidden by Orokin law. Their secret love eventually culminated in Jade becoming pregnant with his child, which inevitably led to the discovery of their forbidden relationship.
As punishment, Sorren and Jade were separated from one another and both forcibly turned into Warframes by Executor Ballas. Sorren became the Stalker and remained a low guardian, with Ballas dangling the possibility of a reunion with his lover and child in front of him should he redeem himself in the eyes of the Orokin, a promise that Ballas would never fulfill. Meanwhile, Jade's punishment was to remain in perpetual pregnancy and forced to become the Orokin Council of Seven's personal executioner.
When the Sentients were believed defeated and the Old War was declared over, the Orokin prepared a grand celebration in honor of the Tenno, the warriors that had turned the tide of war from impending annihilation to victory.
Sitting beside the other low guardians, the Stalker watched as the Orokin Emperors bestowed the Tenno with savior's silk. Then, across every world in the Origin System, the ceremonial Naga drums were rung. A royal salute to the Tenno, ten beats announced the end of the suffering the Old War had brought upon the empire. But the Stalker noticed something was wrong. The Tenno weren't silent and stoic as they had always been, they were waiting, prepared. He tried to call out and warn his masters, but only a whisper escaped his mouth and with the last solemn beat of the Naga drums, the Tenno drew their weapons and turned against the Orokin. Blood filled the golden halls of the empire as the Tenno slaughtered their masters across the system, starting the complete collapse of the Orokin Empire.
Stalker tried to fight against them, but he was hopelessly overwhelmed. Before a Tenno could strike him down however, Jade broke free from her Orokin captors and saved his life, carrying him away to safety. Unaware of her transformation and her unable to speak, Stalker could not recognize her and believed his family gone forever. His way of life had been destroyed and the only thing remaining on his mind was vengeance. Soon after the initial slaughter the Tenno disappeared, locked away in cryosleep by the Lotus, leaving the now loosed Grineer slaves to pick off what remained of the Orokin. He prepared and trained for the day when the Tenno would wake up again. They might not remember what they had done, but that does not make them innocent. He would not forget. He would make sure that their sins would be punished.
Jade remained by his side and laid herself to rest in his hideout. Although he did not know her, he decided to protect her while he waited for the day of his revenge to arrive. When the Tenno awakened once more hundreds of years later, Stalker began his hunt.
