Red Veil

is one of the six faction syndicates and the one with arguably the most doctrinaire beliefs and most aggressive tactics. A result of humanity's last vestiges facing the brink of extinction, they seek to cleanse the Origin System with fire and chaos, excising corruption by highly violent measures.
The Red Veil are secretive and cult-like, and unapologetic in their methodology. But even so, they understand the importance of stealth and have adopted a code of assassins rather than warriors.
They also have no qualms about cruelty if it means achieving their goals. Their mantra, "No cost too great, no blood too precious" is a symbol of their zealous fury, showing that they are not saviors, but rather cleansers.
Although two named individuals from the Red Veil have called upon the Tenno's aid in crises past, Cantis and Palladino, the rest of their leadership – both its structure and identity – is unknown.
Tenno who pledge to purge corruption alongside the Red Veil will receive unique Augment Mods for Red Veil's favored weapons after obtaining the title of Revered. The weapons include , , , and . The unique effect associated with the weapon mods from this syndicate is Blight.
After obtaining enough Standing to reach the title of Exalted, Tenno can exchange Standing for Augment Mods for Red Veil’s favored Warframes, that include , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and .

==Lore & History==
===Syndicate Founding===
===Specters Of Liberty ===
In the Specters Of Liberty event, an individual who identifies herself as Cantis contacts the Tenno asking for desperately needed assistance in freeing hostages that the Corpus and Grineer have captured. Grineer and Corpus groups had taken members from the Red Veil hostage in an attempt to force them into submission. 
Hostages from the Red Veil were encountered in Rescue missions, in which tight security and special Warden units take extra precaution against the player's arrival.
In exchange for such a daring task, players were rewarded Specter blueprints which they can use to craft Tenno replicants for use on their clan's Solar Rails, or to help fight in other missions by placing them in the player's equipment gear section. 
===The Avalanche Offensive===
The Red Veil's involvement in the Avalanche Offensive is fairly minor, consisting of Cantis informing the Tenno of an unusual amount of Arctic Eximus training on Mars. After the Tenno resolve the threat, Cantis thanks the Tenno, also rewarding them with an Affinity Booster, which the Corpus were using to improve their training.
===Chains of Harrow===
==Trivia==
 
*The Red Veil was the very first Syndicate introduced in the game, during the Specters Of Liberty event. 
**Two other syndicates were featured in Operation events: Steel Meridian (Operation: Rathuum) and the Perrin Sequence (Operation: Ambulas Reborn)
*They are the first faction introduced that openly support the Tenno and work toward a mutual benefit.
*The representative of this syndicate is simply identified as "Red Veil". Whether this is his actual name is unknown.
*Cantis' picture has a word written in Orokin next to it. It spells out "nehtwihrk" (network).
*Red Veil hostages are fully voiced and have their own 3D HUD model.
*The mask/helmet of the Red Veil's representative bears a striking resemblance to the Stalker's helmet, namely the two "eyes" on the sides of his face, and the singular "eye" in the middle.
*It is believed that they are the main manufacturers of Wraith weapons, primarily due to the similar decals and color of the Rakta Syandana and the Wraith weapons.
**The Grineer-based weaponry that has been modified (ex. Wraith Twin Vipers, , ) under the Red Veil possibly originated as part of the shared terms with Steel Meridian, an exiled Grineer sub-faction the Veil are allied with; lore mentions the abundance of weapons distributed to participating Tenno.
*The Red Veil's violent and notably destructive nature can be the reason they are at odds against Cephalon Suda, who values preservation. While the Veil would have no qualms erasing data and destroying reliquaries (even Orokin ones) if it means crippling the enemy, Suda is very much opposed to such notions.
*The Arbiters of Hexis oppose the Red Veil's use of the Tenno, as the Arbiters see the Veil's desire for bloodshed as a repetition of the past, and they abhor the idea of the Tenno being squandered as mere weapons.
*On the other hand, Steel Meridian and Red Veil's alliance seems to signify a "sword-and-shield" relationship; The Red Veil seeks out to purge the Origin System of evil, cutting down all who dare cause harm to those whom the Steel Meridian hopes to protect.
*As revealed in Chains of Harrow quest, the name of the holy speaker of the Veil is Palladino, however, unlike other leaders, she does not represent the syndicate in routine dealings (and neither does Cantis).
**Palladino has a companion kavat named Rook.
**Paladino is Italian for "champion", note meaning of original Latin word as well, since her role is hereditary.
**Cantus is Latin for "sung" or "chanted". 
***Somewhat simple and role-specific names denote the hermetic, cult-like nature of the Red Veil.
** The Red Veil is the only syndicate to display other working operatives in the field aside from their leaders, including Cantis (during the Specters of Liberty event) and Palladino.
**The Veil is also currently the only faction Syndicate whose lore ties heavily with the main story quest, with Chains of Harrow being required to unlock The Apostasy Prologue.
*The Red Veil have been known to pass a harsh judgment against Grineer defectors, in spite of their alliance with the Steel Meridian, who would rather see such individuals protected. Both during Operation: Rathuum and The Pacifism Defect event, Red Veil operatives sought to secure Grineer turncoats for their own unseemly ends. Furthermore, during Defection missions Red Veil operatives have been known to try and seize fleeing Kavor defectors, hoping to divine from their biology the reason for their rejection of Grineer violence. They do this while demanding any nearby Tenno not interfere and attacking even those Tenno who are aligned with the Veil themselves. 
** This can also be seen in Relays. In the back of the Red Veil's binding, a Grineer Butcher can be seen being tortured.
*The Red Veil representative is voiced by Justin Young.
