Is Frohd Bek enemy of Tenno?

Recommended Posts

After some operations and quests, I thought Frohd Bek is trying to not be the enemy of Tenno. But after the Ambulas Reborn should I consider him as enemy, like Nerf Anyo? Should I also expect something like assassination contract for Bek? I hope not, because Darvo would be pissed. I know, Frohd Bek is from Corpus, but he is Darvo's father.

Frohd Bek worked with Tenno before, he helped us to track Alad V and his Zanuka project, but this was done only for the profit. Like many of Corpus CEOs, he is thinking about money, but I don't think he will hold a big grudge on Tenno. We hit him hard, but his project is still alive and well-funded. He is no enemy, just another person who we fight upholding the balance.

Like all Corpus he's willing to make a deal with the tenno if it benefits him. He helped us track Salad, but only after we cleaned his ships from the infested.

 

Ambulas brought him a lot of cash apparently and whatever Animo is, it's good enough to threaten the balance of power in the system, so we tore it down. Considering how Ergo mentions a mistake Orokin made and how Frohd says that it can learn and adapt, it's eerily similar to the Sentients. Which makes me wonder who the hell Ergo is to be able to make such thing.

I feel ergo know more than he tell us, maybe too much for his own good, he knows personally neffy alad and frod. That guy know what's going on. Even Lotus don't trust him too much.

I haven't finished the current event, mainly because i have to gather all Animu-sugoi points myself. Sigh.

But from what i can tell there's been a shift in his character. Frohd Bek used to be the more neutral, straight-man of the Corpus. Still after Growth and Profit and ... Grofit like anyone else in the ranks, but he literally deduced Tenno to be profitable to outright anger. Not only that he also shows enough neutrality (again, mostly bc GROFIT) to work and ask help from Tenno. I can't say how the fact that his son is surrounded by said Tenno 24/7 affects his views however.

The character of Bek we see in this event seems more ... streamlined into the Corpus mindset. More precisely, he feels like a less-preachy version of Nef Anyo. Diet Neffy if you will. I guess there's nothing too bad in it, but the character feels much less unique like this. Just another rich baddy who tricks others to get more rich.

Or maybe the long absence of his character in the events and alerts (almost a year i think) has simply made us fill the holes with inaccurate headcanons. Considering what i'm most know for that sure as Hek is what i've done.

Frohd tries not to antagonize the tenno, but he's not our friend.

He's the corpus chairman. He'll do what he thinks helps the corpus as a whole and himself in particular. If it's to his advantage to help the tenno, he will. If it's not, he won't.

The whole Ambulas/Animo thing has obviously caught the tennos' attention with somewhat predictable results, but I doubt Frohd thought much about them one way or the other before all this went down.

Which is the biggest mistake to do, the tenno took down the orokin, the immortal orokin, messing with multiple tennos is like inviting 10000 singular beings that each can create genocides that scales into the thousands each without even breaking a hum and puff.

 

In my opinion tenshin is the only one who doesn't underestimate the tenno while everyone else either lack information on just how strong tenno are, or are too damned daft to realize just who they are messing with.

it's all about profit and interests as usual.

we will abandon our values for profit if Frohd were to hire us to do his dirty work, like Operation Black Seed Scourge for example. we're mercenaries, he's our contractor. this goes against the Corpus being enemies of the Tenno.

Frohd will happily hire us as long as we get the job done, with no concerns for our well being whatsoever. we do things for him, he gives us a shiny. it's just business, and that's something the Corpus know everything about.

Frohd Bek only cares about growth, and profit... GROFIT! He may be unhappy if we mess with his earnings, and try to get some petty revenge later. But you can also guarantee he will be back to ask us for help sometime if he needs us and thinks he can buy us for the right price. In the end, the Corpus leaders will do what they need to do to make money. 

But wait what...? He is Darvo's FATHER?

Frohd Bek is an arms dealer. Whether you think he's a bad guy or not is up to you. The important part of all this is that the Animo system needs to be destroyed. The possibility of a new wave of Sentients is unacceptable, and the Animo system's ability to learn and self-iterate will inevitably lead to such an event.

I'm seeing another Salad situation at this point. Dude will probably mess up again and other Corpus investors will hunt him down because he's draining the cash with his failures.

I felt iffy about Frohd Bek's attitude on this event :[ it might be me, but he seems to put up a 'generic villain' character, acting more like a tool to make Ergo Glast look better.

In other words,

Hek, if you don't know who Frohd Bek is, you might mistake him for a Corpus Crewmen in the intro video.

Never got invested into his character, but I doubt he was that different than usual. He's your standard Corpus chairman, profit GROFIT is always his number one priority. While he's less keen on ticking off the Tenno too much, if he sees an opportunity to make some serious bucks then he'll take the risk, trying to let bygones be bygones when his plans get foiled, maybe passive aggressively getting revenge later. I doubt he's ambitious enough that he'd warrant elimination, and he's helped us numerous times before.

Basically we treat him like lawful evil, in a system largely populated by neutral and chaotic evil. If it benefits us, we work with him. If he gets in our way, we kick his &#! back in line and let it go, because there's worse people to keep alive.

"Generic Corpus Villain" fits pretty perfectly. 👍

Also yeah, the fact that he rocks that overall-geddup makes it pretty hard for newer players to get who the Hek he is. I remember people used to think he was in the cover of some previous event/ operation, i can't remember the name but it has it's own login screen:

Maybe if we see him more in the future he gets a outfit update. I know i've been meaning to design one for quite some time but always got lazy.

Frohd Bek is smart (and makes dope commercials) and probably thought about this. I mean the idea of Ambulas is a new, fancy and smart proxy. And everytime we break one whichever Corpus was in charge of that place has to but a new one, from Frodh, making GROFIT.

The intention of the Ambulas Reborn project was never against Tennos, we attacked because it had the possibility to become sentient. If it wasn't we probably would treat it as any other proxy. He didn't make a Robokiller of tennos.

I don't think that was his intent.

I don't think he thought much about the tenno at all before pushing Ambulas to the market. Once the tenno showed up, then his attitude was the tenno were providing real time combat testing at no cost to him--at least not in monetary terms.

Considering how poorly Ambulas fared against the tenno, well...not sure where that leaves us, but apparently Glast got what he wanted.

I don't think it's about him putting up a "generic villain" front. When he redesigned the Ambulas, I doubt he had foreseen Tenno intrusion considering the Animo project was initially targeted at Corpus investors, which arguably harms no one in particular (unlike Nef's money-making scheme).

It was only after Glast contracted the Tenno to stop his project that he tried his luck: Ambulas wins impressing the entire board or Tenno wins busting his project.
