* WeakButSkilled: The Corpus isn't as strong as the Grineer, since the clone army has much stronger and much more durable units that the average Corpus crewman, but the Corpus makes this up with the usage of robotics, gadgets and abilities that the Grineer don't have such as having units that invoke a variety of drones, [[AntiMagic nullifiers]], etc.



* LackOfEmpathy: "Shun sentimentality. It is a weakness that binds the idle man." Parvos wastes no time thinking for the people that gets hurt because of him and will gladly trample over everyone in the name of Profit and progress. This is a reason why he abandoned his brother Cladius despite him caring for him, because he didn't understand why Cladius would try to preserve their family's culture and history. He also dismisses any failed Sisters as failures and tell the rest of the sisterhood to learn from the defeated's mistakes rather than honoring her and considers the history preserved in the Leverian of Drusus as worthless and only useful for research purposes, despite Drusus telling Parvos that preserving history is more than just sentimentality.

* ManipulativeBastard: "Deception is the sword of wisdom. Be wise." Parvos tells that manipulating and deceiving is a wise thing to do in any situation you may encounter yourself. He displays this tenet several times, such as when he managed to trick the guard that cut off his hand after he stole the rubedo gems from the Orokin city, or as of recent when he took control of the Leverian so that Drusus would call the Tenno for aid and unwittingly pay him up with the equally powerful Entrati artifacts.

The founder of the Corpus Empire before the fall of the Orokin. Once a lowly farmer and tired of working day after day for a measly pay, he went to the city of the Orokin and managed to steal a gem from them, later, he gained a lot of credits by exchanging said gem as a collateral and from there, Parvos started a loaning service that would be so successful that managed to found the Corpus and start more businesses and ventures. Rumor has it he was assassinated by his own board of directors after they got tired of him and his rules of self-reliance, but thanks to Protea, his Warframe bodyguard that the Orokin gave to him as part of a deal, he managed to survive the assassination attempt but was stuck in the Void for who knows how long. Until the Tenno sets him free after Nef tries to get the position of chairman of the Corpus when he tries to convince everyone that he is the son of Parvos. "The Deadlock Protocol" update retrofits all ships in the Corpus fleet to include monuments to his name, such as the shrines of his golden hand that after being activated with a Granum Crown, will send you to the Granum Void where you have to kill as many Specters as possible in the smallest amount of time.

* TragicVillain: For all of the danger he presents to the Origin System, his origins definitely is very sad. During the height of the Orokin Empire, Parvos was born in a family of farmers who worked collecting grains in the fields and paying a quota to their golden masters. The work made he and his family extremely injured and left them in a horrible health condition, and to add more salt to the injury, the Orokin paid them incredibly bad and not only did they do this to his family, but to hundreds of other families. Tired of his low position in society and motivated by a mysterious voice, he went to the nearest Orokin city and started to stole gems from them, convinced he was only taking what he was owed, only for the guards to trap him and cut off his left hand. But he managed to swallow a rubedo gem he was trying to steal and dragged himself away back to home. His brother Cladius bemoaned him for leaving them. He felt guilt because of this but the voice told him to spit the gem he swallowed and ransom it for money as a collateral. With that money, he started to give his fellow farmers loans, told them of his new ideas and started his own business where he would become insanely rich. But despite all the money he had, Parvos couldn't save his father, who died working in the same field he used to live in. Both he and Cladius mourned for his death, but now, more determined to end the slavery the Orokin made them all languish, he builds over the field they used to live and despite the protest of his brother, Corposium, a city where he would invite other people like him - people who wanted more when they had nothing - to try and use their intelligence and gain money. Unfortunately, the Board he relied on - wanting to gain money though means Parvos despised off, e.i. slavery - set a trap and overcharged the Void drives of the ship he was in, only surviving thanks to Protea, the Warframe bodyguard he got from a deal with the Orokin, used her time manipulation abilities to protect him from certain doom. But not only did his bodyguard, whom he designed and cared for, slowly became a Specter of herself, he saw from his time prison how without him the Corpus slowly became no better than the Orokin he despised. He considers the Corpus he built as his own children and he is deeply saddened of what they have become, suggesting he might begin from the start after he dismantles the previous one.

* NoSell: Like the Kuva Liches, the Sisters require a specific order of Requiem mods to make them vulnerable and die. If the Tenno isn't equipped with a Requiem mod or used an incorrect mod, the Sisters can survive the normally fatal attacks.

* RichGenius: Like the majority of the Corpus, he was as much a scientist as a businessman. He discovered the Specter Particles and technology that even Tenno regularly use to mimic their load outs or enemies, even developing the Xoris, a glaive that is designed to harvest the Specter Particles to deal great damage. He unleashes his own Specters to devastating effect on Nef's fleet. The Business even notes that his level of invention puts him in an unexpected level of genius. And despite being locked outside of time for who-knows-how-long, he - unlike Nef Anyo - ''very quickly'' figures out who's leading Solaris United, namedropping Eudico and The Business, as though they don't have enough to worry about.

* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: He seems to believe this, having born in a family of dirty poor farmers, he was in a very young age, put to work in the fields over long hours under the scorching sun, wounding himself over the years as he grew up. This was exactly why he hated the Orokin so much, the slavery he and countless people had to go through convinced him to found the Corpus and attempt to end the slavery of the Orokin. This is also why he hates the modern Corpus so much, they became exactly the very thing Parvos tried to end when founding the Corpus.
* TragicVillain: For all of Parvos' ruthless and cruel behavior over the System, his origins definitely is very sad. During the times of the Orokin Empire, Parvos was born in a family of farmers who worked 24/7, collecting grains in the fields and paying a quota to their golden masters. The work made he and his family extremely injured and left them in a horrible health condition, and to add more salt to the injury, the Orokin paid them incredibly bad and not only did they do this to his family, but to hundreds of other farmer families. One day, tired of his low position in society and motivated by a mysterious voice, he went to the nearest Orokin city and started to stole gems from them, convinced he was only taking what he was owed, only for the guards to trap him and cut off his left hand. But he managed to swallow a rubedo gem and dragged himself away back to home, where his brother Cladius bemoaned him for leaving them. He felt guilt because of this but the voice told him to spit the gem he swallowed and ransom it for money as a collateral. With that money, he started to give his fellow farmers loans and started his own business where he would become insanely rich. But despite all the money he had, Parvos couldn't save his father, who died working in the same field he used to live in. Both he and Cladius mourned for his death, but now, more determined to end the slavery the Orokin made them all languish, he builds over the field they used to live and despite the protest of his brother, Corposium, a city where he would invite other people like him - people who wanted more when they had nothing - to try and use their intelligence and gain money through honest ventures. But not even his tenets would help him, as the Board he relied on, wanting to gain money through means Parvos unapproved of, set a trap and overcharged the Void drives of the ship he was in, only surviving thanks to Protea, the Warframe bodyguard he got from a deal with the Orokin, used her time manipulation abilities to protect him from the explotion. But not only did his bodyguard, whom he cared for, slowly became a Specter of herself, he saw from his own space of the Void how without him the Corpus slowly became no better than the Orokin he despised were, slavers that overexploited people with no chances to ever rise up like how he did. He considers the Corpus he built as his own son and he is truly in pain of what they have all become without his guidance, suggesting he might as well kill them all to make road to a new better Corpus.

of abused and neglected Corpus women who have sworn fealty to Parvos Granum after he chooses them to become part of Pluto.

Ergo Glast recruits the Tenno to defeat the proxies and Warframe that killed her.put a stop to Animo's growth. Drops blueprints for Trinity.



* AceCustom: They wield special versions of Corpus weapons known as the Tenet weapons. These feature modified stats and effects compared to the originals but with overall increased power. Interestingly, most of them are able to fold up into a [[BriefcaseBlaster briefcase-shaped form]] to reflect the business obsession of the Corpus. In addition, the Sisters also have a few Tenet weapon designs unique to them, namely the Tenet Envoy that fires rockets [[PlayerGuidedMissile that can be guided by the wielder when aimed]], the Tenet Spirex [[MagneticWeapons railgun pistol]], and the Tenet Diplos [[GunsAkimbo dual]] [[MoreDakka machine pistols]].
* ActionPet: The Sisters are always accompanied by their modular Hounds, whom you slay and deliver a Parazon kill to in order to collect murmurs to discover the Sister's weakness.
* AmazonBrigade: Unlike the Kuva Liches, Parvos only recruits Corpus women to become his Sisters.
* AmbiguouslyBi: They can flirt with the Tenno regardless of their gender.
* BanditMook: Like the Kuva Liches, missions in areas where a Sister has political influence result in said Sister stealing some of the mission rewards; the only way to get them is to defeat the Sister. Unlike Liches, though, the Sisters only ever steal aa good chunk of your credit reward.
* BattleBallgown: Sisters of the Heat element have a chance of spawning with the Zarina Ephemera, most notably granting them a long skirt made out of Corpus holograms, alongside shoulder rings and a halo. It's yours to keep if you can defeat her, allowing you to make any of your Warframes or Operator follow suit.
* CoolBigSis: What they are supposed to be for Parvos. In his childhood, he wanted a smart and strong sister he could rely on because his brother was a DumbMuscle that was to naïve and trusting to the Orokin.
* CustomUniform: The Sisters' appearance is always personalized.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Just like the Kuva Liches, when they are finally defeated, the Tenno has to choose whether the Sister is spared or executed. If spared, you don't get their Ace Custom weapon, but they'll occasionally show up to help you during missions. With the right upgrade, they can be assigned to your Railjack crew as defenders.
* EliteMook: They were low-ranked and abused Corpus women until they are chosen by Vala Glarios and are given Warframe abilities and the ability to survive fatal injuries. Additionally, they have "Hounds" to populate their territory, which fit this role more closely: Hounds are {{RobotDog}}s that require a Finishing Move to kill.
* EvilCounterpart: They are essentially Parvos' Corpus answer to the Warframes, possessing a form of immortality and their own versions of Warframe powers.
* EvilIsPetty: They're immortal supersoldiers who work in Parvos' name and will conquer large swaths of the solar system, and relentlessly oppose the player until they're defeated. How? By stealing a fraction of your mission rewards and taunting you about it on the "mission success" screen. Gameplay and Story Segregation might be in play, but the fact that you get all of these rewards back when you finally defeat the Sister implies that they aren't even doing anything with what they steal: they're just taking it to mess with you. Even worse is that some of the Sisters will claim that they intend on spending the money they steal, but it turns out they've been hoarding it the whole time.
* HeelFaceTurn: Sparing one after having them dead to rights will have them join the Tenno's side to reclaim their lost honor. Upon sparing them they send the Tenno a contract stating that they've officially cut their ties to the Corpus Board and Parvos himself in order to form a partnership with the Tenno, although some of their lines imply that they're still in contact with the rest of the Sisterhood.
* HotBlooded: Folksy Sisters are quite emotional, and will go ''apeshit'' on you if you piss them off.
-->'''Angry Folksy Sister (after killing a Tenno):''' I have you! I have you! I HAVE YOU!! '''I HAVE YOUUU!!!'''
* MsFanservice: An unusual example, while their level of beauty may depending on the player's own view, their ''dialogue'' can be surprisingly flirtatious or contain an innuendo or two, much to the player's surprise.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Collectively, they are the ''only'' female Corpus bosses in the game, and the only female Corpus of note besides Vala Glarios.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Sure, they're meant to be the Corpus equivalent of the Kuva Lich, which justifies this as that's essentially the point, but in-universe this appears to be in play. Be it a soldier that's infused with Kuva or a candidate that's empowered by Specter Particles, the two adversaries both become superpowered Warframe mimics who can only be permanently killed with their personalized Requiem Sequence, which is obtained through performing mercy kills on their minions. Meanwhile, they take over parts of certain planets and steal your stuff, randomly popping in to kill you in person. One would think Parvos is trying to directly copy the Queens.
* ThanatosGambit: Like Kuva Liches, striking them down without the proper series of Requiem Mods will only make them stronger and allow them to copy another Warframe ability.
* UnusableEnemyEquipment: Averted, as they will drop whatever Tenet weapon they're carrying if finally killed, personalized with their name and elemental bonus. Played straight if you spare them, as they'll keep the weapon.

* DegradedBoss: An interesting case, as rather than happening during the game's completion, it occurred during the game's development. The original Ambulas followed the typical boss pattern, where you have to clear levels of its region before reaching its own level, where you fight it. The new Ambulas can be found on "regular" levels first, and needs to be defeated multiple times before you can move onto the "boss" level. In the actual boss battle the Ambulas itself plays a secondary role, and the main focus of the fight is using the destroyed Ambulas proxies to take out a larger threat in a PuzzleBoss way. Plus, the proxies you fight on the "boss" level are no different from the ones you met before, ultimately making the Ambulas more like an afterthought in its own boss battle.

And in my mind, she and I - oh how we would conspire... great schemes, risk-trades, rapacious plots. And should I ever find myself... back at the trough. Penniless. Betrayed. Rich, only in enemies...

'''Parvos Granum'''

A sisterhood composed of abused and neglected Corpus women
who came before you... Were. NOT. Spared."''
-->-- '''Exploiter Orb'''

Three gigantic Raknoid proxies guarding Nef Anyo's Orb Vallis project. Each of
have sworn fealty to Parvos Granum after he chooses them is stationed at one to become part of the larger bases: sisterhood, volunteering themselves even at risk of death. They have undergone a process similar to the Profit-Taker Orb oversees Kuva Liches working under the Enrichment Labs, Twin Queens, granting them immense power and a feuding rivalry with the Exploiter Orb patrols the Temple of Profit Tenno and an as yet unnamed Orb is stationed near the spaceport.Warframe that killed her.


Added DiffLines:

* AceCustom: They wield special versions of Corpus weapons known as the Tenet weapons. These feature modified stats and effects compared to the originals but with overall increased power. Interestingly, most of them are able to fold up into a [[BriefcaseBlaster briefcase-shaped form]] to reflect the business obsession of the Corpus. In addition, the Sisters also have a few Tenet weapon designs unique to them, namely the Tenet Envoy that fires rockets [[PlayerGuidedMissile that can be guided by the wielder when aimed]], the Tenet Spirex [[MagneticWeapons railgun pistol]], and the Tenet Diplos [[GunsAkimbo dual]] [[MoreDakka machine pistols]].
* ActionPet: The Sisters are always accompanied by their modular Hounds, whom you slay and deliver a Parazon kill to in order to collect murmurs to discover the Sister's weakness.
* AmazonBrigade: Unlike the Kuva Liches, Parvos only recruits Corpus women to become his Sisters.
* AmbiguouslyBi: They can flirt with the Tenno regardless of their gender.
* BanditMook: Like the Kuva Liches, missions in areas where a Sister has political influence result in said Sister stealing some of the mission rewards; the only way to get them is to defeat the Sister. Unlike Liches, though, the Sisters only ever steal aa good chunk of your credit reward.
* BattleBallgown: Sisters of the Heat element have a chance of spawning with the Zarina Ephemera, most notably granting them a long skirt made out of Corpus holograms, alongside shoulder rings and a halo. It's yours to keep if you can defeat her, allowing you to make any of your Warframes or Operator follow suit.
* CoolBigSis: What they are supposed to be for Parvos. In his childhood, he wanted a smart and strong sister he could rely on because his brother was a DumbMuscle that was to naïve and trusting to the Orokin.
* CustomUniform: The Sisters' appearance is always personalized.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Just like the Kuva Liches, when they are finally defeated, the Tenno has to choose whether the Sister is spared or executed. If spared, you don't get their Ace Custom weapon, but they'll occasionally show up to help you during missions. With the right upgrade, they can be assigned to your Railjack crew as defenders.
* EliteMook: They were low-ranked and abused Corpus women until they are chosen by Vala Glarios and are given Warframe abilities and the ability to survive fatal injuries. Additionally, they have "Hounds" to populate their territory, which fit this role more closely: Hounds are {{RobotDog}}s that require a Finishing Move to kill.
* EvilCounterpart: They are essentially Parvos' Corpus answer to the Warframes, possessing a form of immortality and their own versions of Warframe powers.
* EvilIsPetty: They're immortal supersoldiers who work in Parvos' name and will conquer large swaths of the solar system, and relentlessly oppose the player until they're defeated. How? By stealing a fraction of your mission rewards and taunting you about it on the "mission success" screen. Gameplay and Story Segregation might be in play, but the fact that you get all of these rewards back when you finally defeat the Sister implies that they aren't even doing anything with what they steal: they're just taking it to mess with you. Even worse is that some of the Sisters will claim that they intend on spending the money they steal, but it turns out they've been hoarding it the whole time.
* HeelFaceTurn: Sparing one after having them dead to rights will have them join the Tenno's side to reclaim their lost honor. Upon sparing them they send the Tenno a contract stating that they've officially cut their ties to the Corpus Board and Parvos himself in order to form a partnership with the Tenno, although some of their lines imply that they're still in contact with the rest of the Sisterhood.
* HotBlooded: Folksy Sisters are quite emotional, and will go ''apeshit'' on you if you piss them off.
-->'''Angry Folksy Sister (after killing a Tenno):''' I have you! I have you! I HAVE YOU!! '''I HAVE YOUUU!!!'''
* MsFanservice: An unusual example, while their level of beauty may depending on the player's own view, their ''dialogue'' can be surprisingly flirtatious or contain an innuendo or two, much to the player's surprise.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Collectively, they are the ''only'' female Corpus bosses in the game, and the only female Corpus of note besides Vala Glarios.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Sure, they're meant to be the Corpus equivalent of the Kuva Lich, which justifies this as that's essentially the point, but in-universe this appears to be in play. Be it a soldier that's infused with Kuva or a candidate that's empowered by Specter Particles, the two adversaries both become superpowered Warframe mimics who can only be permanently killed with their personalized Requiem Sequence, which is obtained through performing mercy kills on their minions. Meanwhile, they take over parts of certain planets and steal your stuff, randomly popping in to kill you in person. One would think Parvos is trying to directly copy the Queens.
* ThanatosGambit: Like Kuva Liches, striking them down without the proper series of Requiem Mods will only make them stronger and allow them to copy another Warframe ability.
* UnusableEnemyEquipment: Averted, as they will drop whatever Tenet weapon they're carrying if finally killed, personalized with their name and elemental bonus. Played straight if you spare them, as they'll keep the weapon.
* VillainousCrush: When converted, Sisters with the "Nervous" personality type seem to be contemplating asking you out, while Sisters with the "Folksy" personality are outright ''flirting'' with you.

* AceCustom: They use and wear specialized weapons and armor just like the Rathuum Executioners.



* ConfusionFu: Jen Dro is able to disguise herself as one of the Tenno to confuse the player.



* CorruptCorporateExecutive: They are all corporate agents with a very long list of scummy things. For example: Nako Xol's BloodKnight tendencies helped him climb through the corporate ranks, Derim Zahn uses his hacking skills for trade laundering funds traded though the Index, Jen Dro spies on rival companies to facilitate downturns against enemy Corpus guilds, etc.
* TheCracker: Derim Zahn uses his hacking skills for trade laundering funds through the Index.

* ErmineCapeEffect: Surprisingly averted. He is a very high-ranking member of the Corpus, at least on par if not more influential and high-standing than Alad V or Nef Anyo. Despite that he wears the same outfit used by regular Corpus crewmen unlike Nef and Alad, who wear opulent outfits showing off their wealth and status. In his words, he wears like a regular crewmen to show everyone that he started from humble beginnings and that he worked all the way to the top.

* ThemeNaming: Their ship classes take their names from various support structures, from smaller, destroyer-like "Pillar"-class ships and larger "Stanchion" battleships, to the absolutely ''massive'' "Obelisk" dreadnaughts, which the wreckage of one apparently covers a large part of Europa from a recent space battle. They also have an AnimalThemedNaming when it comes to their robots.
