What Warframes had important roles that shaped the Warframe universe?

[(XBOX)Heartrime6690]

I asked, as I wanted to use ones that work. Stuff like Protea, who was made and assigned to be the protector of Granum, Gara, who was the protector of Unum, destroyer of a massive Eidolon that was on the warpath through Cetus, Kullervo the betrayer, said to whisper in the ears of the Tenno started the uprising, Ivara the one who hunted the Hunter Myrmidon, And Umbra who helped and saved the Tennos in the New War. Stuff like them that have cool lore and helped.

[Pakaku]

Technically all of them, since they wouldn't become Warframes if they weren't significant in any way (except Umbra, for being significant in specifically pissing Ballas off)

[PollexMessier]

I'm pretty sure most frames are meant to have had a pretty significant impact on events. Just a lot of them we're not given the lore on. Like Nidus.... God I wanna know what his deal is, why do we not have any lore on him DE?!

Except Yareli... she got beat by a fat grineer in a rocket diaper who's job was to slave drive children... and got saved by those children. It's honestly astonishing how garbage she was in lore. Atlas One-Punch-Maned a meteor, Limbo discovered a new plane of reality, Gara solo'd a Sentient titan that the Eidolan bosses are fragments of, Most of the frames with a Leverian exhibit took part in overthrowing the orokin empire... Yareli got curb stomped by the fat guy from Autin Powers who's name is against the forum's ToS

Also Xaku's had little impact on the world cus they're... a bunch of pieces of frames that probably were important, kit-bashed together into it's own thing that probably wasn't around for most of the important historical moments..

My boy Revenant is just a warden who wasn't good at his job and got corrupted by the Eidolon. 😭

I am talking about ones that have been in substantial roles in history. It's not like those minor bios we get.

Am talking about the ones that have been explained in lore so far. Am sure all were used in wars and had roles. Am talking about big ones that made them become Hero/sacrifice themselves for others or become feared

I am already using Gara, who comes from Cetus. It seems weird to use two from Cetus. Also, Warden/Revenant is a dumb dumb who got too ambitious, as you explained, lol.

 My favorite is Titania. She died protecting Archimedean Silvana, her creator, from Dax soldiers that the orokin sent to burn the forests of Earth. Silvana used transference on herself and ended up 'becoming' the silver grove in an attempt to restore the nature of Earth. While being burned, Silvana's pain awakened Titania and she flew to her rescue, wiping the Dax soldiers out one by one. She eventually succumbed to her wounds while trying to save her creator, who pretty much hated her (Silvana hated the idea of creating a weapon/warframe).

Thank you for understanding what I was asking. I like that lore it's pretty tragic and shows that Warframes and Tenno are needed currently. I hope she appreciates Titania trying to save her life. What missions is Titania good to use for? I will try her out

 Titania is really good in missions that require agility and single target damage. She excels in Void Flood since she can easily collect Vitoplast spread around the map, as well as being very good at mirror defence, where her cc can protect the objective and her mobility allow her to collect some shards for extra resources and objective healing.

 She is also very good in capture and a lot of boss fights for her single target damage. Her 3rd ability Lantern can be useful in defece type missions as well as Interception.

 She can also be pretty good for open worlds, as she is basically both the Warframe and the archwing.

 Her finished builds can require quite a bit but anyone investing in Titania will most likely tell you its worth it, both for her power and all the fun she can offer as well. Her gameplay can be very simple for most of her builds, but she is honestly one of the frames I have the most fun with.

I don't know if this counts:

Atlas:

Cita

''Atlas. Hard as stone. Is it any surprise that his story of him begins with an asteroid?
Temple Telamon had cast a spell on the indentured masses with a song that heralded the coming of a great stone destroyer. A god who would shatter the world and lead them to a great rebirth. The Orokin mocked the cult's off-key singing, their spasmodic dancing, but the spell only grew stronger. Telamon broadcasts would oft-times wedge into controlled channels to spread their doomsday message.

For the suffocated lower castes, the notion of something more powerful than their Orokin masters must have been intoxicating. A brutal Orokin crackdown seemed to be working, until... an asteroid was detected on a collision course with Earth. The Telamons celebrated it as prophecy writ true. Divine intervention. For the first time in living memory, the Orokin showed vulnerability''.
----------

The Telamons were a fanatic cult that believed in the coming of a destroyer that would signify a rebirth. The Orokin paid no heed to their chants until the Telamons hijacked an asteroid and sent it on a collision course with Earth.

Rather than sending destructive weapons or Dax soldiers, Atlas, a stone warrior who defied the Telamon's ideals, was dispatched to intercept the asteroid, using  Petrify on the Telamon defenders and fashioning  Rumblers from their tableau. Atlas then delivered a  Landslide that reverberated into the rock, shattering the asteroid which dissolved into nothing, silencing the Telamon's hymns.

----------

''Earth swelled on the horizon, as the cult mocked Atlas with their chorus: "The stone shall shatter all!"

Across the system, every Telamon echoed that final hymn. Children, as far as Neptune, turned their heads from greasy broth and gazed toward Earth. Would that careening stone change... everything? Atlas kneeled down, head and hands pressed to the ground in apparent defeat as the Telamon's hymn grew even louder.

But Atlas was listening, feeling, the way the stone trembled to the hymn's pitch. The faults within the asteroid became vivid to him... and so a new song rose up. Rumblers. Erupting in a god-like rhythm, beating along the faults until Atlas, alone, struck the final, resonant chord.

A tremor forked through the rock until, all at once, the great asteroid exploded, its dust falling as scintillating rain sparking across the atmosphere, and then... gone. The Telamon's song fell silent and children, as far as Neptune, turned away and swirled their spoons in greasy broth''.

 

 

Nezha:

Cita

 

''Nezha. The mercurial firemonger. The clarion of hope. However foul the decadent excesses of the Orokin Empire, the aftermath of its collapse was arguably worse. But, the darkest times often give rise to the brightest legends. We've seen that happen often, haven't we? Tales of a being called Nezha predate the Orokin Fall. They speak of a swift warrior who leaves trails of fire, summoning barbed spears from the very earth. But it is during a time of unsurpassed brutality, at a moment of wanton slaughter, that this most blazingly improbable of Warframes first proves to be more than a myth''.

----------

Following the fall of the Orokin Empire, the farmland Reshantur suffered from routine and violent exchange of hands. As the poor farmers could not afford proper defenses, they were forced to rely on the eldest of children, who fashioned themselves after Nezha from relics found in the area.

During a defense from the Corpus, an incident that would come to be known as the Massacre of Reshantur, the farmland was torn asunder by flame. A Corpus surveyor named Jena Xasparin found a solitary boy in the midst of Corpus remains that were dismembered, impaled, and burned by  Divine Spears. The boy claimed "Nezha did it", that he razed the field with his  Fire Walker; the children would go with Nezha as part of his celestial army while the boy stayed behind to tell the tale. Xasparin assumed the boy was traumatized and there was mutiny within the Corpus ranks, but every single blackened bone that was excavated and gene-tagged had belonged to an adult.

----------

''And at last, we meet Nezha face to face, in all his unquestionable reality. Did this Warframe model itself on the myths, to take on the mantle of a mythic hero? Or were the myths left in the Warframe's wake, a blazing trail to light the way? Ah. History will always be some manner of educated guesswork, and occasionally one of faith. Perhaps in some deeper stratum, we will find the lost children of Reshantur, sad little clusters of bones, not saved at all. But I have faith we will not. I leave you with this. Why do you suppose it was the child soldiers that Nezha chose to protect? Any war has its innocent casualties, but these seem to have called to him. What could a Warframe, a lethal specialist warrior, possibly have in common with a child? That riddle, I fear, must remain a riddle''.

That sounds awesome I will check her out for sure then. Appreciate the advice and lore refresh.

Titania is so good that I use her for Corpus and Lua spy mission instead of Wukong. Too bad Exalted can't get Arcane, otherwise Dex Pixia could be use on SP >Lvl 300. At least Circuit with the right Decree make her able to do that. Oyeah, she make final SP Orowyrm a breeze in the park

[PhiZero]

From what hasn't been mentioned, there is also Gauss the Saint of Altra, our forgotten Voruna, ans our chonky boy Grendal; all of which, have Levarians and are also incredibly functional frames even in SP.

Gauss having quelled an Orokin Insurgency, being tasked with recapturing the Orokin Fortress Altra, which not even the Dax could break past the initial line of defense as he literally outran all of the artillery the fortress had to offer.

Voruna, who lost her entire pack in the fall of the Orokin Empire, becoming something more via a peculiar liquid. This, is one story that should be viewed in the Leverian.

Then our favorite sumo, Grendel...who hunted down the surviving Orokin such as a specific Orokin Exexutor known for his gluttony, and delivered a poetic sentence for his crimes.

A lot of warframes are tied to plot points and key characters throughout the game's lore so there is an argument to state all of them are of importance.
When reading your question though, I immediately thought about Gara's story. She is the reason Eidolons haunt the Plains every dusk and without her Cetus wouldn't be standing to see them retreating at every dawn.
You said you are using her so you might be familiar with her lore. In summary, Gara was a protector of Cetus. The living structure that is at the heart of Cetus, the Unum tower, was besieged by a massive Sentient every night, one far bigger and far powerful than the Eidolons we know today. The Ostron tried to use Kuva to gain leverage against it but it backfired and escalated the Sentient threat even more. To avoid the Sentient's victory and the fall of Cetus, Gara did the ultimate sacrifice and shattered herself, defeating the Sentient and forcing it to take the form of lesser beings; Eidolons, that would forever roam what is now known as the Plains of Eidolon. 
If you want to know more details about her, do the quest Saya's Vigil which can be started by doing Konzu a personal favor.
The fossilized remains of the greater Sentient can be found in some of the Plains caves and you will be able awaken Gara once more because despite her shattered body, nothing could break her resolve to stay and fight and so we remember her as the Unbroken.

What Warframes had important roles that shaped the Warframe universe ?

1- Saryn, the Nightmare of the Infested. She alone save the system by exterminating the most dangerous abominations. Nidus for the opposite reason.

2- Excalibur, the one that control the battlefield. The first, the leader, the sword of the Orokin. On the battlefield he establishes Orokin domination.

3-Ash, The Ninja. Behold the patron saint of the Orokin school of political assassination. Outside the battlefield he establishes Orokin domination.

 

Some others Warframes a establish their own legends and battles like the Wildly Unpredictable Nova ... but shape the system, change an Empire.  No only those few, and Maybe :

-Trinity and Nekros : Demonstrating the control over Life and Death by the Orokin.

-Nyx : Controlling and bending your mind and body to the Orokin.

 

Most others frame can destroy and make simple mortal in fear but few can change the path of history....

PS : My Favorite frame is Frost. The coolest one but still he does not change the system but like most of twelves first he is not A WARFRAME, he is a part of a team that decuple their strength when fighting at each others sides. Like Avengers vs X-men : A bunch of super-strong all purposes ones does never beat the teamwork of the basics and specialised first.
