There is a reaper whose name is Nekros. He provides deathly crowd control. Erstwhile enemies become allies when Nekros calls up recruits from the dead.

This is Nekros, manipulator of souls.

Nekros possesses the battlefield, Tenno. Death is his playground.

Release Date: September 13th, 2013

Nekros is a Warframe with powers likened to that of necromancers and dark arts practitioners, his abilities exploiting the vulnerabilities of the living and the corpses of the dead. Nekros was disinterred in Update 10.0 (2013-09-13).

Trivia

  • His name comes from the Greek word "νεκρός", meaning "dead".
  • Nekros is also the Swedish translation of Necrosis which is a medical term for the death of most or all of the cells in an organ or tissue due to disease, injury, or failure of the blood supply.
  • Nekros is one of the three Warframes that do not have an innate aura polarity, the other two being  Excalibur and  Sevagoth.
  • Nekros was released on Friday the 13th.
  • Nekros is the first Warframe whose alternate helmets were purely cosmetic, as opposed to earlier "Arcane" alternate helmets.
  • Nekros is one of the few Warframes whose unique animations do not hold a bow with both hands – the other Warframes being  Hydroid,  Limbo,  Mesa,  Revenant,  Sevagoth,  Xaku,  Nidus,  Gauss,  Gara,  Baruuk,  Equinox,  Yareli and  Harrow. He holds the bow with its arrow only in his left hand. With his Agile animation, he will grab the arrow and twirl it around.
  • Nekros' Noble animation set has an almost identical idle animation for all weapons excluding throwing weapons – he simply looks left and right calmly. With throwing weapons, he will twirl and spin one on his right hand. This animation is also used by the Agile set.
  • Nekros' unarmed idle animation is identical on both sets – he will perform  Shadows of the Dead. This also occurs while he is holding a one-handed secondary weapon.
  • Nekros' legs, hands, and feet are far more slender than other Warframes, a trait shared with  Oberon.
    • Also, both Nekros and Oberon seem to have wider torsos than other Warframes, at least in a limbs to torso ratio.
  • Nekros appears to have six fingers, however the last one only has one bone.
  • When holstering dual daggers like the  Fang and  Ether Daggers, Nekros stores them in a cross arrangement, unlike the normal parallel stack that other Warframes do.
