Archimedean

Archimedeans are human scholars and scientists that served under the Orokin and other high-ranking figures during the Orokin-era.
==Lore and History==
To become an Archimedean, one must recite the Archimedean Oath.
High-ranking Archimedeans had assistants specifically trained for that purpose. Loid was one of them.
Sometimes, they would organize Archimedean Symposiums to find patrons that would finance their research.
==Known Archimedeans==
*Margulis - She was among the initial team to recover the Tenno children from the derelict Zariman, and later worked with the children to heal them from their trauma. She was executed via the Jade Light by her lover, Executor Ballas. The Sentient Natah was captured and modeled after her, becoming the Lotus.
*Silvana - An Infestation biologist working on Earth to restore its ruined ecosystem. Over time, Silvana grew disillusioned with the project and abandoned it, fleeing back to Earth with a set of stolen somatics. She used the somatics to undergo transference, fusing her consciousness with the environment in order to stimulate growth of the vegetation. She was successful; however, a force of Dax was sent to raze the forest. Both Silvana and the forest were saved by Titania, Silvana's most recently created Warframe, who died of her wounds after killing all the Dax. The forest that holds Silvana's consciousness, The Silver Grove, still exists on Earth and has been revered by New Loka for centuries.
*Suda (former) - A famous historian that dedicated herself to preserve the Empire's history and knowledge. Willingly turned herself into a Cephalon to survive an unknown neurodegenerative disease that was erasing her memories. It's heavily implied she created Octavia, given her love for music and its relation to memories.
*Perintol - A member of the Corpus who created the intelligent and adaptable robots that would come to be known as the Sentients. He defended his project to the Executors, and Ballas, by fiercely opposing him, manipulating the other Orokin into approving the project. It was later revealed that Ballas was colluding with Perintol to ensure the project would continue.
*Javi - An Archimedean who was skilled in alchemy and transmutation. He was imprisoned an tortured at Dabaoth-Kra prison. Known as "the Crawling Serpent, the Abhorred, the Filth-Speaker" he was watched over by the Warframe Lavos. During his execution, Lavos liquefied and transmuted him into a serpent to save his life. He is rumored to still whisper teachings to Lavos to this day in his current form, attached to his pupil's left arm.
*Ainikki - The creator of Kullervo. When the Seven tried to arrest Kullervo for killing an Orokin, he tried to protect her, but ended up accidentally killing Ainikki alongside the Dax that came after him.
*Yonta - The designer of the Zariman Ten-Zero and pieces of its bleeding-edge technology, like the Vitoplast. She was funded by Executor Tuvul. She disabled the safeties of the Zariman in an attempt to reach Tau with a single Void jump, causing the Void Jump Incident that led to the birth of the Tenno, and the death of all of the adults in the ship. Feeling guilt for her actions, Yonta killed herself with the Jade Light, but her soul remained in the ship as a ghost, one of the Holdfasts.

***Halako - Halako Perimeter, a zone of the Zariman Ten-Zero where Archimedeans worked, is named after them, although they were most likely not aboard the ship.
*Otak (former) - Otak was an Archimedean who specialized in crystallography, a science concerned with the arrangement of atoms in crystalline solids. His works were archived in the libraries of Albrecht Entrati's laboratories, where it is shown that he was responsible for discovering the unique properties of argon. Much like Suda, he was turned into a Cephalon, comprising one of the two personalities within the Necraloid. His mind suffered heavy damage during the Old War, when the infestation overran Deimos, leaving little of his original self's personality and intelligence except for his fascination with crystals.
==Trivia==
*The title Archimedean is named after Archimedes - a mathematician, physicist, engineer, astronomer, and inventor from Ancient Greece.
** Archimedean is also a real-life adjective, which means 'of or pertaining to Archimedes'.
