Otak

Cephalon Otak (formerly Archimedean Otak) is a vendor in the Necralisk in Deimos. He is a damaged Cephalon affected by Deimos' energies, and was partially integrated into a with Loid, resulting in his erratic and whimsical personality. His shop is located to the easternmost side of the Necralisk, where the drop from their Landing Craft.
== Lore & History ==
=== Previous Life ===
Before becoming a Cephalon, Otak was an Archimedean that specialized in crystallography, and was the first to anticipate the unique properties of . His works were archived within the libraries of Albrecht Entrati's laboratories, although they were forgotten with time."I discovered a forgotten work by Archimedean Otak on crystallography deep in the archives. He was the first to anticipate the unique properties of Argon. We owe him so much. At least... what remains of him... is happy." - Loid, Research Dante quotes
For an unknown reason, Otak was Cephalized, becoming one of the loyal servants in the process. According to Daughter, he also possessed his own Necraloid shell."When Otak was Otak and had his own shell, I used to put black roses all around his little skull. Tried that with Loid, but he wasn't having it." - Daughter, during Naberus.
=== The Infestation of Deimos ===
After a bio-bomb was detonated in Deimos in an attempt to repel the , the entire moon was overrun with . The Entrati had no choice but to lock themselves in the Necralisk and use it as a makeshift safehouse. After the Collapse of the Orokin Empire, there were no Dax or Tenno left to assist in the protection of moon, which resulted in its gradual decline and the abandonment of the Entrati's subterranean Isolation Vaults, after the Grey Strain began to encroach upon the Cambion Drift.
Due to the infectious influence of the Infested, Otak was soon corrupted, with his personality become permanently damaged."I was damaged. Deimos damaged me. Deimos damages everything." - Otak Loid would attempt to defragment his systems and transfer him into his own shell, but it was only a partial success."You'll have to excuse Otak. His personality was damaged irreparably by Deimos' energies, making it necessary to transfer his intelligence to this, our current shared form. Unfortunately, my attempted defragmentation of his persona matrix was not a "complete success." Tell them about mining, Otak." - Loid As a result, both Loid and Otak now share Necraloid shells, with them constantly switching between personalities.
===The Re-emergence Of Deimos===
Due to the Heart currently failing, the Entrati has no choice but to re-phase Deimos back into Martian orbit. Along with Loid, Otak would then go on to contact the Tenno for assistance in repairing the Heart and mending the bonds between the family members. Ultimately, with their help, the Entrati were able to put aside their squabbles and work together to repair and reactivate the Heart.
Afterwards, Otak would be delegated to harvesting and studying the unique infested minerals and ore of Deimos, and even employs the Tenno to assist with his work.
===The Kalymos Sequence===
Due to the increasing threat of the Indifference, Albrecht's contingency plan called the Kalymos Sequence activates, informing Loid of the current crisis. However, Otak's consciousness was presumably repressed as a result, with him entering a "forced slumber" of sorts. Loid, believing his friend to now be gone, would confide with Nora Night during one of her radio calls."There was someone with whom I could share these fears. And yet, all of a sudden, right as this all began, they are gone. They would not have abandoned me, would they? So abruptly? So coldly" - Loid, talking to Nora Night.
Whatever the reason, Otak would soon reawaken after the Labs were saved. However, Loid would keep him ignorant of their existence, believing that the truth would hurt him."Otak is none the worse for his forced slumber. Perhaps it was wrong to keep the truth of the labs from him... but that truth might have wounded him, and I will not see him hurt." - Loid, after completing Whispers in the Walls.

==Trivia==
*"Otak" means "Brain" in Malay and Indonesian, which is ironic for his personality.
*When Otak first meets the Tenno he calls them "a chip off the old monolith", foreshadowing the Warframes' relationship with the Necramechs. From then on he nicknames the player "Chip".
