Move like a shadow, strike with force. The Orokin created a Warframe that marries damage and stealth to eliminate sensitive problems, but he disappeared in the chaos of their demise. All that remains is a batch name: Cyte-09.

Release Date: December 13, 2024

Locked and loaded with his bullseye on the prize, nothing evades his crosshairs. A flash of gunfire before quickly repositioning, empowering his weapons to quickly eliminate his next targets. Whatever his original name was is lost to history, but he goes by a new designation: Cyte-09. Proximity alert at the rendezvous... impromptu target practice, right on cue. Cyte-09 set his sights on Update 38.0 (2024-12-13).
