The Holdfasts

are a Syndicate comprised of the four last "survivors" of the adult crew of the Zariman Ten Zero and conducting their operations within the Chrysalith. Returned to life by the mysterious powers of the Void, they have fought off conversion into Void Angels. While not strictly human anymore, instead being Void manifestations resurrected through the Conceptual Embodiment of the memories of the original Zariman Crew, they retain their human mindset and guide the Tenno in preventing the further degradation of the Zariman.

====Kira====
Kira was formerly part of the Holdfasts of the Zariman, until she succumbed to the Song and transformed into a Void Angel seen by the Operator/Drifter before they woke up in their Dormizone during the early part of the Angels of the Zariman quest line. After her defeat in the last quest, the Holdfasts made an altar to her memory at the western part of the Chrysalith's main lobby.
Kira featured prominently in the Zariman Alternate Reality Game as she asked help from the players to recover logs of her husband describing the events of her death, which also detailed several events prior to the Operator's/Drifter's return during the Angels of the Zariman quest.
====Cephalon Melica====
Melica is a Cephalon that was tasked with instructing the children aboard the Zariman. One of her consoles is found at the pathway just after the Chrysalith's main entrance and before Quinn's position, although she cannot be directly interacted with. She requests "students" to find Zarium Accolades for her in the Zariman.
====The Husband====
The Husband is an unnamed character only known as Kira's husband through the Zariman logs recovered by her during Zariman ARG. He was one of the survivors of the early events following the Void-Jump Incident before succumbing to the Void.
====Gyra====
Gyra was a passenger notable for her graceful movements and was sent aboard by Orokin Executor Ballas to act as a figurehead, but eventually became a victim herself of the Void-Jump accident. She is the likely basis for the Warframe .
==Notes==
*Each rank-up plays a cutscene where The Holdfasts talk amongst themselves, revealing their past lives on the Zariman Ten Zero before they perished. The Void markings on their faces also gradually recede.
**At the highest ranking of Angel, all of their Void corruption markings disappear, signaling a rebirth of sorts as the survivors will find a renewed purpose for existing.
==Trivia==
*The Holdfasts are the first Syndicate to provide non open-world bounties. 
*The Holdfasts Ranks are based on terms associated with angels in the Bible.
**Fallen is the term associated with the Angels that followed Lucifer in leaving Heaven, who are considered fallen angels. Though the term isn't actually mentioned within the bible, the concept of angels "falling" when they leave heaven is said in Luke 10:18.
**Watcher is a term used for Angels, first mentioned in the book of Daniel 4:13. Though the word "iyr"(Aramaic) used is sometimes translated as Angel.
**Guardian is a term used for Angels that protect people. Psalm 91:11 specifically refers to angels being sent to Guard/Protect people.
**Seraph, also known as Seraphim, are a type of angel described directly in the bible. Isaiah 6:2 describes them as having 6 wings, using 2 to cover their face, 2 to cover their feet, and the final 2 wings are used to fly.
**Angel, a term used to describe heavenly/supernatural beings that serve God in various religions.
*The name Holdfasts comes from the term hold and fast, referring to their perseverance to resist from drinking from the Reliquary Drive, as doing so is equal to giving in to the Void and will turn them into a Void Angel.
*Voidplumes are named after various wing and feather component. (Void"Plume" refers to a bird's plumage)
**Down is the small fluffy portion of feathers, closest to a bird's skin, to act as a layer of insulation.
**Vanes are the two flat parts of the feather on either side of the central shaft, made of many smaller barbs interlocked. 
**Crests are a common type of plumage on birds, specifically feathers that grow on the top of the birds head. 
**Quill is the name for the hollow, central support shaft of a feather, to which Vanes are attached.
**Pinion is the outermost joint of the wing from which the primary flight feathers grow. The wing and tail feathers essential for flight are also known as Pinion feathers. 
==Bugs==
*Sometimes an Operator's direct kill on a non-Thrax or non-Ethereal Void Angel does not count towards Quinn's requirement kill count while in Operator mode. It seems more prominent in Void Flood runs.
