Khora - Warframe

Personality:   Fiercely poised with feral instincts, the huntress Khora and her feline familiar Venari prowl amidst combat scouring for prey. Mistress of the livewire, she enchains her foes to enforce deadly discipline by whiplash, claws, and serrated steel. Khora's first recorded appearance is linked to a Corpus Morphology Specialist known as Sigor Savah. Savah worked under Nef Anyo's Venusian terraforming expedition, tasked with decoding the Orokin gene record of the Vallis and reviving select specimens for study. During one of his studies, Savah came across a unique specimen of Orokin-era fauna; an unusually large kavat that was found fully intact inside a sealed closet, it's body frozen for millennia. This kavat was in fact Khora's animal companion, Venari. Labeled as Specimen VK-7, Savah returned to his lab with the Venari's body, As he was preparing for a surgical dissection, the kavat had somehow willed itself back to life. Venari was not simply a mere kavat, as she possessed a unique series of atypical behavioral characteristics. Kept in a cage within his lab, Savah noticed that whenever a visitor came by, she would study their habits. Eventually, she came to anticipate regular arrivals, having memorized their schedules. Venari would eventually break free of her cage, and would go on to roam the Orb Vallis purging any nearby Infestation w Infested hive sites. Savah would attempt to join up with a Corpus team deployed to a nearby hive, but when he arrived, he found that the entire team and hive were slain by Venari. Before he was able to flee, she blocked him, discouraging Savah from calling for backup. As an act of trust, Venari revealed her wounded side to him. Placing loyalty above profit, Savah found himself tending to the kavat's wounds. After the incident, Venari managed to infiltrate Savah's lab without raising any alarms or alerting any of the guards. In her jaws, she held a severed, fossilized hand, and left without a sound, leaving the hand behind. Savah began to analyze the hand, and discovered that it was part of the original Khora warframe, one Anyo Corp had no record of in any of their treatise The Corpus, naming Venari as the Horror of the Hives, deemed the creature a threat unworthy of study, and declared that it was to be destroyed in its lair. Savah would attempt to rescue Venari by using a canister of animal tranquilizer to stun the incoming hunting party. However, their respirators easily dealt with the gas, and he was promptly detained. Due to the disruption, Venari was able to escape unscathed. For his betrayal, Savah was imprisoned and interrogated on everything he knew about Specimen VK-7, and soon was sentenced to be executed. Venari would visit the hab of Savah's assistant, Smokefinger, giving him the keys to where he was imprisoned. As Smokefinger opened Savah's cell, Venari dispatched his executioner with a bite to the throat. Knowing both of them could no longer stay on Venus, the pair fled for a conveyor bound for a nearby orbiting Rail tractor, but the Corpus had caught up to them. Giving the scientist one final glance, Venari activated the conveyor and lunged at her pursuers, sacrificing herself and sending Savah into orbit. Savah would then dedicate his life to searching for the remainder of Khora's remains. He found out later that her fused body was found fully intact, within the Orokin terraforming complex on Venus. However, she was shipped offworld by a notorious Solaris Rail agent (presumably Little Duck), who vanished right after. Savah spent many years on the Plains of Eidolon, believing it to be the location of Khora's remains. Sometime later, after he mysteriously left the Plains, Khora's blueprints would then be donated to the Sanctuary of Cephalon Simaris by a member of The Quills. Shortly after, one of the cephalon's Sentinels found and synthesized Venari, who appeared to have desired capture. However, she immediately disappeared alongside Khora's blueprints, much to the chagrin of Simaris. He states that her presence can often be detected during Sanctuary Onslaught, and that she waits for a worthy Tenno to claim Khora's parts.
