==Crafting==
==Lore==
Following 's sacrifice over the Eidolon, at the very site of her decisive battle which the Ostrons now call Gara Toht Lake, a Warframe known solely as the Warden would arrive to drive away the Sentient as it emerged night after night. This trial would continue until one fateful evening, where the Warden foolishly tried to make contact with the Sentient and was overwhelmed. Discovering that the Sentient was using him as a means to reform itself, the Warden cast himself into the lake to seal it. The time spent as an "anchor" to the Sentient would infuse the Warden with its eldritch energies, becoming "the Lost One".
In the present day, Nakak receives a strange mask, the Mask of the Lost One, from Onkko. She sells it to the Tenno, instructing them to wear it in the Plains of Eidolon at nighttime. There, they see a large spectral silhouette of an Eidolon; meanwhile, Nakak receives a vision from the Unum, explaining the story of the Warden. After completing the story, the Warden, now transformed into the Revenant that serves as a "mask" for the Eidolon, emerges but is driven back, leaving behind its own blueprint. Having rebuilt the Lost One, Nakak claims the Warframe that had been infused with the powers of the Eidolon will be needed to combat a new threat imposed by the Sentient.

==Trivia==
*Revenant was revealed in Devstream 112, and is the first -themed Warframe, before .
*Revenant's codename during development was Vlad, likely named after Vlad the Impaler who, in 1897, Irish writer Bram Stoker based the famous vampire "Count Dracula" off of. As described by Stoker, Count Dracula was an undead warlock that fed on human blood.
**Revenant's abilities are also vampiric in nature:
*** converts others into loyal thralls, a trait in vampires.
*** allows Revenant to cast Enthrall freely; vampires are capable of enthralling with their "mesmerizing" eyes.
*** turns Revenant into intangible mist, another trait in vampires. Additionally, vampires are famous for their ability to steal the life essence of their victims, with Reave displaying such trait when it passes through enemies and thralls.
*A revenant is an undead being that retains some purpose after its reanimation, usually to seek out and get revenge upon those who wronged it in life.
*To enthrall somebody means to make one subservient.
*The name may be based on Franz Mesmer, a German doctor who came up with the theory of Animal Magnetism.
*To reave means to deprive (a person) of something through theft or violence.
* is based on Danse Macabre, French for "Dance of Death", a late-medieval allegory of the universality of death.
*When Revenant's Danse Macabre is discussed in his Warframe Profile, the Lotus says "Bewitch your enemies in the moonlight, Tenno." This is a lyric from the song Dance Macabre by the Swedish heavy rock band Ghost.
*Revenant's fourth ability was originally a mass crowd control area of effect that put enemies to sleep.
*After TennoCon 2018, Revenant's abilities underwent changes to include more lasers and lights to emphasize the Eidolon theme.
**Fitting with Revenant's Eidolon theme, Danse Macabre's rotating lasers is derived from an attack used by the Eidolon Gantulyst.
*Revenant, alongside his signature shotgun, , are the first Warframe and weapon to require Sentient Cores to craft. 
*Revenant is the 36th Warframe to be released (excluding Primed and Umbra variants).
*Revenant is the second Warframe whose component blueprints are acquired from Bounties, first being .
*Revenant was originally tasked as a warden by the Unum to prevent the fallen Eidolon from coming back, implying that he was active after the Sentient War on Earth, at the very least. Whether he had directly participated in the War or not is unknown.
**Revenant is the sixth known frame to be active before and/or during the fall of the Orokin Empire, after , , , , and .
*Unlike most of the Warframes, Revenant's signature melee weapon was not released simultaneously with him. Digital Extremes decided to withhold and release it later alongside Melee 3.0.
**His signature Two-Handed Nikana, , was released with .
*Oddly enough, despite Revenant's Sentient composition that would make him highly susceptible to damage, he and do fine in areas rife with Void Energy such as the Orokin Void and the Zariman Ten Zero.
