Eleanor Nightingale

Before the events of 1999, the first volunteers that came forward to Dr. Entrati's offer to receive more than healing. They were then infused with a Helminth serum from Albrecht's time, which in turn morphed and alchemized them into partial Warframes. Their bodies became newly attuned to the Void, whilst their minds were kept intact. Repeated samples were been taken from the now-transformed volunteers by Albrecht himself, with research of Aoi and Arthur's own anatomy written along the blackboards of the Netracells of Albrecht's Laboratories. It was implied by the doctor himself that their humanity may not last, and that it may be only a matter of time until the Helminth finally swallows them whole. Her status as Arthur's sibling is a reference to NyxIcon272 Nyx's prototype design as a female ExcaliburIcon272 Excalibur. Her username: "Salem" may reference the Massachusetts town Salem, where the Salem Witch Trials took place. Her being deeply infected with the Technocyte is likely a reference to Nemesis from Digital Extremes' earlier title, Dark Sector, who served as a major antagonist heavily infected by the Technocyte Virus and was the design inspiration for the Nyx Nemesis Skin. She is yet to be seen speaking audibly. When communicating via telepathy, her eyes flash blue. It is implied in the prequel webcomic that Dr. Entrati's experiments have rendered her physically mute. The comic further revealed that Eleanor possesses a large Infested tongue not unlike Arlo's. Her dialogue in Tennocon 2024's Höllvania Central Mall relay shows that she is aware of the Tenno's presence, and that she promises to keep them a secret from the other members of the Hex. She comments on various aspects of present-day through the Lotus Eaters quest, commenting on where the other "one" might be, the word "Mara Lohk", the Triple-Faced Goddess with a shadow on her, and the Tenno's capability to make great difference like they've done to The Holdfasts and the Cavia. She appears to possess foresight, learning of Arthur's encounter with an Excalibur that bursted out from an infested mouth in the undercity tunnel. She envies Aoi, believing it should have been her "spreading happiness through everyone's heads", and Eleanor "throwing cars and trucks around".
