| ~ Alad V explaining his aiding the Tenno. |
Alad V is a major antagonist and occasional ally in the MMO third person shooter Warframe.
He is a Corpus entrepreneur and supervisor of the Gas Cities floating in Jupiter's atmosphere. He used to be a member of the Corpus Board of Directors and the head of Grineer Relations, until his Zanuka Project sparked a war with the Grineer that ended in utter disaster and a massive waste of resources for the Corpus.
With the rest of the Board turning against him, Alad V was forced to use the Infested he had been experimenting on as weapons against them. This resulted in him being exposed to and falling under its influence, becoming obsessed with unifying the Origin System in a "Mutalist Empire". Though he eventually managed to free himself of it and rejoin the Corpus via a mutually beneficial deal with the Tenno.
During an attempt to rebuild his capital and influence within the Corpus, Alad was tricked into forging an alliance with the Sentients. He is now trying to find a way out of this alliance without losing his head.
He is voiced by Kol Cosbie, who also voices Captain Vor and General Sargas Ruk.
Appearance[]
Alad V wears a blue, metallic suit similar to that of Nef Anyo, but significantly more practical and resembling a labcoat, fitting for his constant need to experiment on everything he gets his hands on. He also wears a helmet-like contraption on the back of his head that lowers a visor onto his eyes and connects to a small piece of machinery on his neck. This machinery is contains a magnet of sorts that keeps a circular disk on his shoulders that he uses to control his robotics. The front of this disk slides open so he can take it on and off whenever he pleases.
Like the other Corpus, Alad V has black tattoos on his face, his being two thin lines running down from underneath his eyes all the way to the bottom of his face.
Personality[]
Like other Corpus, Alad V is defined by his ceaseless pursuit of profit for the sake of it. However, what makes him stand out is his opportunism and willingness to cooperate with former enemies. Unfortunately for Alad, this same opportunism also causes him to fail to think his endeavors through. The Corpus may be greedy, but even they would not dare to risk dealing with something as uncontrollable and dangerous as the Infestation, but Alad thought he knew better and experimented with it anways in spite of the ban on it. This led to him becoming infested himself and becoming another of its thralls.
Yet despite his repeated failures, Alad nevertheless always knows how to bounce back from them. He may be physically weak, but his sheer willpower allowed him to fight off the influence of the Infestation long enough to ask the Tenno, usually his enemies, for help in synthesizing a cure, a feat that only few are capable of.
Formerly the head of Grineer Relations among the Corpus Board, Alad V has difficulty treating other people with respect and frequently belittles his allies and enemies in equal measure, which has brought him trouble on more than one occasion.
Biography[]
Grineer Relations[]
Sling-Stone[]
While Alad V himself didn't appear in the event, the Lotus intercepted one of his transmissions to the Corpus Board, telling them that the Grineer have discovered that they had been stockpiling their products. The Grineer Queens demanded that they either lower their prices, angered that the Corpus had tightened their contracts despite ample supply, or witness their stockpiles be destroyed by their new Fomorian-class battleships. Alad mocked the Grineer in his report and claimed the threat a simple bluff, suggesting that the Board raise the prices instead and laugh in the Grineer's faces when the non-existant ships don't arrive.
Luckily for Alad V, the Lotus decided that a victory for the Grineer would've given them far too great of an advantage and resulted in a system-wide resource shortage, so she sent the Tenno to sabotage the Fomorian ships from within. With their trump card destroyed the Grineer were forced back to the bargaining table. Alad V sent another message to the Board, informing them that "Sling-Stone was a success". The Tenno had done their work for them and all he had to do was dangle a small reward in front of their noses. However, he wisely decided to be cautious regarding the destruction of the Fomorian fleet and dispatched some scouts in case the Grineer held some Fomorians in reserve.
Arid Fear[]
As news of Lotus's discovery of vital Corpus intel detailing the coordinates of Grineer settlements, the Corpus found themselves forced to protect these coordinates from being stolen by her Tenno. Begrudgingly, Alad V suggested to the Board that they should hide their scouts and navigators within the Void, a realm where logic and the laws of physics cease to apply. It brings a considerable risk of being corrupted, losing your mind and becoming a slave to the ancient Orokin towers still active and floating within, however he believed this same risk also applies to the Tenno if they manage to find a way in.
While the Board did give the all-clear for Alad V's plan, it was not enough. The Tenno hunted down the scouts, assembled the scattered coordinate data and thus gained access to the Grineer settlements hidden on Mars. The Corpus' failure to protect the settlements irritated Captain Vor, who noted in his report to the Queens that he didn't understand why the Corpus thought the Void was dangerous to the Tenno when they are so clearly connected to it.
The Gravidus Dilemma[]
When Alad V discovered a hidden cache of Tenno in cryosleep and intended to use them for the development of his Zanuka Project, General Sargas Ruk became outraged as this was a violation of a contract between Grineer and Corpus regarding the weaponization of Warframe technology. The General gave Alad an ultimatum: hand over the Tenno or be crushed by his fleet. While the Corpus Board was reluctant in angering the Grineer, Alad V was adamant that the partnership with the Grineer was nothing but a farce. Ruk promptly declared Alad's territory Grineer property, invading Corpus space and enslaving the local population.
Taking notice of the developing situation, the Lotus turned to her Tenno and faced them with a difficult choice. Either side could win the war and only the Tenno can tip the scales to either side's favor, however the presence of the sleeping Tenno made the situation complicated. If they support the Grineer they can save their fellow Tenno, but this would allow the empire to considerably grow in strength. Supporting the Corpus prevents this, but this would result in losing the cryopods to Alad's experiments. The Lotus couldn't in good conscience force either option onto the Tenno, so she let them decide for themselves who to support.
When fighting for the Corpus, Alad V tries to appeal to the Tenno that supporting him is the only logical choice, as the Grineer are too powerful and arrogant to be allowed victory and that nobody wants to be a slave. He also assures them that he will "take good care" of their friends. The overwhelming majority of Tenno prioritized saving their own and supported Sargas Ruk, while the Corpus Board eventually grew tired of funding a pointless effort, withdrawing their own support and forcing Alad V to retreat.
The Hunt for Alad V[]
Despite the utter failure and embarrassment that the Gravidus Dilemma was for Alad V, he nontheless managed to secure some of the Warframes for his Zanuka Project. A new robotic proxy manufactured from Warframe components, the deadliest and most agile product the Corpus had ever developed. Alad V knew that his life was on the line, as Zanuka's failure would mean he would be unable to repay the debt he had accumulated because of Gravidus. He relocated his development laboratories to Jupiter and sent the Zanuka Hunters, cheaper variants of his coveted Zanuka, to capture more Warframes for production.
Unfortunately for Alad, fellow Board member Frohd Bek had other plans. Fearing that Zanuka's success could threaten his candidacy as the next Chairman of the Corpus Board, Bek sent out ships to Jupiter to dispose of Alad V and his proxies. In his desperation, Alad unleashed the Infestation he had been experimenting with against Frohd's ship. With his fleet overrun by grotesque monstrosities, Bek turned to the Lotus and offered a mutually beneficial transaction. If her Tenno clear out the Infestation from his ships, he will give them the location of Alad V so they may take their revenge.
The Lotus didn't trust him, but she trusted his hatred and the opportunity to stop the Zanuka Project and prevent more Warframes from being dissected was too valuable to ignore. So she agreed to his terms and tasked the Tenno with exterminating the Infested aboard Frohd's ships. After their work was done, Bek upheld his end of the bargain and transmitted Alad's location to all Tenno, asking them to do him a favor and not show any mercy. On the Gas City raid on Jupiter, Alad V used one of the finished Zanuka proxies as a bodyguard, but to no avail. The Tenno cut down Zanuka and took their revenge on him, seemingly killing him.
The Mutalist Empire[]
Suspicious Shipments[]
Unbeknownst to all, Alad V had survived the Tenno's retaliation for the Zanuka Project. He continued his illegal experiments on the Infestation in secret, hoping to make a breakthrough that would turn the Board back in his favor. The Tenno discovered these experiments and Alad's survival when they investigated heavily armored Corpus vessels travelling outside of usual shipping routes. Alad remained calm however, confident that the Tenno won't have the time to find all of his ships before he can unveil his new business venture to the Origin System.
Breeding Grounds[]
Unfortunately for the Origin System, Alad's prediction proved correct. His experiments had created a new Mutalist strain of the Infestation, capable of assimilating and twisting non-organic machinery such as the Corpus' robot proxies into virulent monstrosities. These new developments also created hives, concentrated clusters of biomass that allow the Infestation to direct its spread and consume entire ships at unprecedented speeds. And due to his constant experimentation, it had only been a matter of time until Alad himself was exposed and succumbed to its influence, driving him even further into insanity and removing any shred of restraint he may have had.
The Lotus was sent into immediate alarm and ordered all Tenno operatives to contain this new outbreak at Eris, entering the fallen Corpus vessels and destroying the hives being priority number one. She feared that if these hives were allowed to nurture, the entire Origin System would be overrun within days. At first Alad panicked when the Tenno destroyed his precious hives, but when the dust settled he came to thank them. Sure, most of his hives were gone and their growth kept under control, but the Tenno had left him with the strongest specimen for further evolution. The Mutalist threat was not over just yet.
Mutalist Incursions[]
After a long silence, Alad V finally revealed himself in a transmission to the entire Origin System, announcing the grand formation of the Mutalist Empire and launching a full-scale invasion. His experiments had caused even newer monstrosities such as Boilers and Brood Mothers to emerge, who are mutated to the point that it has become completely impossible to tell what they used to be prior to being Infested.
The Tenno had to strategically assault Alad V's forces across the system, no place was safe from the plague he unleashed. The combined strength of the Tenno was enough to halt the swarms, slowly dwindling down their numbers but the damage Alad V had done was irreversible. Eris was already lost, but contained. Now there was no more telling where the Infestation could break out. But even with the larger system-wide outbreak stopped, Alad V had to be dealt with and his laboratories destroyed before he could create any more havoc.
Patient Zero[]
While the Tenno were busy fighting off the Mutalist Empire, the Lotus discovered a Corpus vessel that may have valuable intel on Alad V's location. The Corpus had been trying to track down Alad for months now, his attacks having been nearly as devastating as Grineer Councilor Vay Hek's attack with his Fomorian fleet. One squad of Tenno was dispatched to infiltrate one of these former vessels and retrieve whatever info they can from its datavaults. What they found filled Lotus with worry: Alad had gotten his hands on another Warframe. The Tenno are immune to the Infestation, but so had been machines. If Alad V could give it the ability to infest robots, perhaps he could also eventually develop a strain capable of assimilating Warframes. Such a development would spell doom for all life in the Origin System.
With the help of the intel from the Corpus vessel, Lotus was able to narrow down Alad's location to a cluster of infested ships. These were his breeding grounds. Three signals were required to triangulate his whereabouts, so the Tenno had to raid three ships. Alad took quick notice of this and taunted the Tenno. The Infestation had completely taken hold of his mind, as he now believed himself far above mere profit and claimed what he was doing was the best for the system. Finally, the Tenno found Alad's laboratory ship. After destroying the reactor, Alad sent out the fruits of his labor to attack: a Mesa Warframe wearing the same kind of collar that Alad always is. Lotus noted that this was not a Tenno, but an empty husk puppeteered by Infested flesh.
The Tenno put the Warframe out of its misery and escaped the exploding lab. Without it, Alad couldn't continue his research, but given time he could just make a new one. This had to end now. His location revealed, they were face to face with Mutalist Alad V. He put up far more of a fight than last time, attacking the Tenno himself rather than just sending a minion after them. He was even able to take control of one of the squad's Tenno by attaching his collar on them, just like he did with Mesa, though doing so also left him vulnerable. With Alad defeated and his swarms reduced to controllable numbers, the Mutalist Empire was finally brought to an end.
Alad and the Tenno[]
Tubemen of Regor[]
Against all odds, Alad once again managed to survive his own assassination. This time however, the beating he had received came with a benevolent side-effect: clarity. Ever so briefly, Alad V's consciousness was separated from the Infested hive mind, allowing him to realize the truth of his situation. He mustered up all the willpower he had at his disposal and suppressed the voices from his mind, but it was only a matter of time until they could worm they way back inside his brain. He needed to act fast, he needed to expunge the Infestation from his body completely otherwise he'll be right back at square one.
Since the Grineer reproduce by cloning themselves over and over again, each new Grineer bred is unstable and prone to clone rot. In his laboratories underneath the oceans of Uranus, brilliant Grineer geneticist Tyl Regor is relentlessly searching for a cure for their degenerating tissue. If anyone could have the data necessary to develop a cure to Alad's condition, it was him. But he knew he couldn't do it alone. He needed help to break into the labs, so he was forced to turn to the Tenno for aid. He offered a deal: if the Tenno agreed to bring him the data he needs, he would reveal the location of Tyl Regor's facilities to them and even pay them for it. Corpus rival Nef Anyo caught wind of this and intervened, offering the Tenno an alternative proposition to disregard Alad's pleas and would pay them to destroy the labs outright instead, not wanting Alad to make a recovery.
The Lotus decided to leave the decision of who the lesser evil is to the Tenno. Alad V had done terrible things to the Tenno and Nef Anyo is just as untrustworthy, but the opportunity to sabotage Tyl Regor's research is too valuable to pass up. In the end, the majority of Tenno sided with Alad and brought him enough data to successfully purge the Infestation from his body. Even Alad was surprised at this turn of events, having expected the Tenno to still hold a grudge after everything he's done. And yet, they still aided him. "Truly, the Tenno are saints", Alad said. Or perhaps they had an ulterior motive, like he would. Nevertheless, he threw in a bonus payment to thank them for their support.
The Second Dream[]
After curing himself of the Infestation, Alad V discovered that perhaps it wasn't the best time to sever his connection with the Tenno just yet. Tyl Regor's excavations of the ancient tombs in the caves of Uranus unearthed something ancient and evil: Hunhow, the leader of the Sentient forces that waged a genocidal war against the Orokin. An individual so feared that the Corpus considered him to be their boogeyman. And despite having been defeated and broken into thousands of pieces, he was still alive. Finally awakened from his long slumber, Hunhow planned to finish what he started and wipe the Tenno from the Origin System.
Alad V recognized that should Hunhow succeed in destroying the Tenno, nothing could stop him from exterminating all other intelligent life, including Alad himself. He sent a message to the Lotus, offering his aid in exchange for a favor down the line, though unfortunately these were intercepted by Regor's forces on Uranus. Thankfully, Lotus sent some her Tenno to infiltrate the Grineer archives in hopes of finding any intel that could help in their fight against Hunhow, who had allied himself with the Stalker to strike at the hidden heart of their mutual enemy.
With the message recovered, Lotus made contact with Alad V and once again sent the Tenno to Uranus, where Alad V led the Tenno to a large bone of Hunhow. He didn't explicitly tell them where it is however, preferring to instead play a game of "hot and cold" because he found that to be more interesting. Lotus hoped to make a brief connection to Hunhow and see what their plans were, but she realized too late that this was precisely what Hunhow was counting on. While Lotus could see into Hunhow's mind, Hunhow could also look into her and thus discover the location of the Tennos' true weakness: their real bodies hidden on the Moon.
Lotus thanked Alad V for his help and tried to cut him off, but Alad V insisted he stay and see how things played out since he wants to ensure his "investment" wasn't for nothing. When the Tenno found the Moon hidden inside the Void, long believed to have been destroyed in the Old War, Alad commended Lotus for her accomplishment and delighted in the knowledge that the Tenno themselves were unaware of their true nature. Hunhow found Alad V's location shortly afterwards however, so he decided that since he was no longer needed it was best for him to go into hiding for a while.
Shadow Debt[]
Alad V may have escaped with his life, but Hunhow and Stalker had not forgotten his contributions to thrwarting their plans. When a group of Tenno that agreed with his philosophy approached and pledged their allegiance to Stalker, he immediately gave his Acolytes the task of punishing Alad V for his transgressions. Fearing for his life, Alad called in the favor he had earned and asked the Tenno to protect him from the Acolytes.
Stopping the Acolytes meant finding them however, which proved to be quite difficult, as Hunhow had given them advanced cloaking technology with which to strike from the shadows. Alad V sent the Tenno to retrieve security data from Corpus and Grineer installations, using them to determine their cloaking patterns and make them easier to find. Afterwards, it was a simple yet difficult matter of scouring the Origin System for the Acolytes. Once one was found, Alad notified the rest of the Tenno of their location so they can hunt the Acolytes for a change. Stalker's servants proved themselves incredibly resilient and retreated when injured, forcing the Tenno to find them again and again.
Once five of the six Acolytes were defeated, Misery, the strongest of them all, discovered Alad V's location. The Tenno guarded Alad V from Misery's shadow creatures until he ran out of patience and went after Alad himself, summoning clones of his fallen companions during the assault. With Misery defeated, the Acolytes were finally sent back to their master to lick their wounds in shame. Alad thanked the Tenno for their help and gave them an additional reward for their efforts. All debts repaid, Alad and the Tenno went their separate ways.
An Unwanted Partnership[]
Hostile Mergers[]
Alad was allowed back into the Corpus fold, but his reputation was completely ruined. He still had control over his own gas cities on Jupiter, but all the eyes on the Board of Directors were pointed at Nef Anyo's achievements on Venus. This lack of attention on Alad could be considered an advantage, but he nevertheless felt the sting of jealousy and desired to rebuild himself, looking for new opportunities. Fortune smiled upon him, he tought, when an old acquaintance of his called Regus appeared with a business proposition.
Regus had somehow managed to get his hands on Sentient technology and was looking for an investor, which Alad was more than happy to oblige. He fashioned a contract with several loopholes and escape clauses, and to his amazement Regus signed without even looking at it. Alad plotted to rid himself of his new partner at the earliest convenience, then noticed however that Regus had a sudden change in demanour, no longer being so agreeable and coming to their meetings with his own radical proposals. Alad wanted to tear up the contract, noting that the entire situation feels wrong and that something is off about Regus, but he realized too late that he just entered a partnership with the Sentients, Regus having been Natah in disguise.
Alad tried to resist, assembled his disciples and readied his defenses to fight off the Sentients, knowing that they are a threat to everyone in the Origin System, including himself. Unfortunately, his forces were completely outmatched by the Ropalolyst that had been sent to ensure Alad would behave. It tore through his station and made the new pecking order clear: Alad would create new Corpus-Sentient amalgams to bolster the Sentients' army or the Ropalolyst would destroy him and his station. If he tried to get help from the Board of Directors he would be executed for treason, leaving Alad completely trapped in a partnership he wants nothing to do with.
And so, Alad made a desperate call and "accidentally" let what he's working on slip to the Tenno. While the Tenno were trying to sabotage his operations, Alad used this opportunity to both improve his product, appease his new partners and buy time to find a way out. Eventually, the Tenno arrived at his doorstep to destroy the Ropalolyst, which he was more than happy to help them with, giving a few hints as to its possible weaknesses while they fought. Its destruction finally gave him some more breathing room.
The Wolf[]
As part of his new directive to create amalgams, Alad V required a large amount of test subjects. Not all of these came from the Corpus, however, as Alad secretly made a deal with Gharn, the warden of the Grineer supermax prison Saturn Six. Gharn delivered inmates from Saturn Six to Alad for amalgamization in exchange for certain benefits, which eventually led to a violent riot led by the Wolf of Saturn Six, a particularly dangerous criminal who up until this point was a model prisoner. The Wolf and his pack of convicts went on a rampage across the system, striking at various Corpus installations to free their fellow Saturn Six inmates. He then hijacked a Corpus communications channel and broadcast a message across the system: "DELIVER GHARN."
Alad V answered him and delivered the warden to the Wolf, who wasted no time in killing him so that his pack could finally be safe, but it was a trap. Alad seized the moment and took the Wolf and other Saturn Six criminals captive, using them for his experiments and hybridizing them with a Sentient strain, then sending them back out to hunt the Tenno. This later came back to bite Alad, as his schemes usually do, as this led to the Wolf becoming strong and smart enough to break his new bonds as well and turned Alad's own amalgams against him. Alad survived, but the Wolf was now free.
The New War[]
After many preparations, the Sentients finally put their plans into action and unleashed their armada against the entirety of the Origin System. Grineer and Corpus alike were completely outmatched and, during a last desperate, combined assault against the Sentient mothership Praghasa, Alad V found himself under siege on a Corpus capital ship. The Sentients' technopathic abilities allowed them to take control of most robotic proxies and turned them against their creators, severely crippling the Corpus' ablity to fight back. With full knowledge of what the Sentients are capable of and sensing the impending shift in management, Alad V tried to manually shut down the fleet's fire control and surrender before they are all massacred.
Unfortunately for him, the interference caused his command overrides to stop working, forcing him to make contact with a Corpus technician called Veso-R, all the while trying to assure the rest of the crew that things were going fine. Initially, Veso showered Alad V with admiration and titles, but as Alad kept mispronouncing his name and his traitorous intentions became clear, Veso realized that he was not worthy of such respect. When Veso finally got to the control station, Alad made an announcement that he brokered a peace treaty and that they should all stand down when the Sentients board the ship, but Veso shut him off and reengaged fleet control, allowing the Corpus ship to fire a massive energy beam that destroyed a Sentient Murex ship that was about to dock.
The destruction of the Murex caused an explosive shockwave that engulfed Veso and Alad's ship, destroying it as well. Veso was later confirmed to have perished in the explosion, but Alad's repeated survival in spite of impossible odds makes his fate uncertain.
