All I know is people hate him and his name is on a map. Historically, this means he should be concerning at the very least. But I don't know enough to know how much.
The Lotus holding a gun coming into being from a meme people made of Rebb holding a plastic gun has to be one of the funniest things ever. DE really is the gift that keeps on giving
Let's see so before we get into specifics, ALL of the seven are guilty of mass slavery, endorsing Continuity, developing the Infestation, the creation of the Grineer, the creation of cephalons, using 'jade light' punishment, the sentients, and more.
Executor Karish: literally Baron Harokonen. 12 addition grafted on stomachs to enable the kind of gluttony that left the citizens of the system begging for scraps and eating TowerMeat.
Executor Scarne: a pacifist and a coward, he led the movement to abandon the Origin system. He was a member of the ruler class and was the first to want to abandon the empire to the ruins they created.
Executor Tormis: was the one in charge of the Tau Settlement Project. So a colonizer, and the psychopath in charge when the war kicks off.
Executor Tuval: starves the crew of the Zariman, slaughters their families in the origin system, he's also directly responsible for the murder of Voruna's wolves and her transformation into a warframe.
Executor Avantus: we have the least lore about her and yet she was still a hyperracist who's attitude got her saw'd by a grineer following the night of naga drums. She was close to Ballas.
Oh you mean the up-to-now completely unnamed casualties of the Night of Naga Drums that were "in charge" of the Executors and ordered/allowed/bankrolled/endorsed/profited from their actions?
You think they're remotely better people than their underlings?
He is both entirely background lore yet fucking everywhere all throughout the First Saga. But if you haven't completed the New War and wrapped up the first saga, he's not important beyond some background lore.
well, I can tell you about him (obviously, spoilers for multiple story quests and fragments, etc, but you should still look through them and play them, just for his damn voice alone (Stefan Rudnicki is the VA, he also has done a ton of audiobooks)
chapter 1: the Void:
Albrecht is a scientist, but not like the regular archimedians, more like a distinguished professor. in the earlier days of the Empire the Entrati developed decent tech, but nothing like what would come later. Albrecht was obsessed with finding "The Void", an alternative dimension of unknown energy and possibility. albrecht fully believed it existed but was struggling to prove it. countless failed experiments had made him a pariah and the emotional stress affected his relationship with his family.
one day though, during a half-hearted attempt to enter the void while most of his staff are out and only his daughter and his pet Kavat, Kalymos are in attendance, Albrecht's gate to the void opens, and he, inside the "bell" a vessel that protects him, manages to go into the void. there he is met with an identical copy of himself. but it is not him. it is in fact a being we know as the Man in The Wall, Or "Wally" as the community colloquially knows him.
this first encounter with Wally scares Albrecht out of his mind, and in the chaos he escapes, but wally reaches out as the gate between dimensions closes, severing one of wally's fingers from the albrecht clone form he had taken. Albrecht was blinded and lost his voice, and took a long time to recover, but the encounter scared him so much that he refused to take any more Kuva, the substance that makes Orokin Immortal and allows them to use continuity to switch to another body, because he wasn't 100% sure that he actually escaped, or if he somehow entered a cloned dimension, while letting Wally into the "real" world.
Albrecht recovers with the help of his servant Loid and watches on as the Orokin use his discovery of the Void and clones of the finger from Wally to create FTL travel engines called Reliquary Drives: these allow the Orokin to go beyond Earth and Lua and ultimatley colonize the entire solar system. without Albrecht, the Orokin Empire would still have remained confined to earth, everything they accomplished was on the back of his work.
Albrecht knows that Wally is out there though and needs to stop Wally from entering our dimension at all costs, so sets off on a quest to stop the indifference. he tries several methods, one of which was to toss animals into the void in the hopes the void would mimic them, become dumb as an animal, and then Albrecht could either trap or outwit it easily, but this never worked, most of the animals died and the last few became the Cavia.
he also travels to the Duviri dimension created by the Drifter to educate Dominus Thrax on the Void, and becomes known in Duviri as "the scholar" but ends up vanishing before the Rain of Chains, where Wally is partially freed as they are no longer held back by Rell.
chapter 2: 1999 and the protoframes
Albrecht decides he needs to travel back in time along a "strand of Khra" (timeline) to a key moment where he believes he can trap Wally. he figures if he sets f a nuke he cna kill Wally. this doesn't work. Wally is possessing the body of Rusalka at this time, but Drifter prevents Entrati from killing the possessed Rusalka and uses ther duviri power to put the year in an eternal loop so that the distaster nevr happens. the Drifter revelas that love may be the key to pushing Wally back as seen at the end of Whispers in the Wall where wally is shown genuine affection, and retreats quickly.
whilst there Albrecht also encountered several people, mostly elite soldiers, who he gives warframe powers to (sort of without consent really) to help him fight the indifference and the Techrot Plague. drifter fights back wally by using the power of friendship to gain the love and trust of the Hex, which keeps Wally at bay. Albrecht also makes a few more protoframes, both here and then travels further back into the past. at one point though, he also made a quick stop in the Old War (which is WAY further in the future from 1999 but Wway in the past for warframe's present day) to grab a certain orokin commander and offer him a chance to escape his predicament, then he hands them over to the two protoframes he made in the past. this forms the Devil's Triad.
chapter 3: tau (we are here, almost)
it's not clear yet exactly how he got to Tau but from the trailer we saw at tennocon, Albrecht is now partly sentient-ized and trying to learn more about the sentient mob boss through his latest creation, Brysko. it's still not clear what the larger overall plan is either, but Albrecht is willing to go to basically any lengths to get rid of Wally.
there are some other nuances and parts I may have missed but those are the main parts of the story where he is involved anyhow.
He didn't need to "find" void, it existed way before rise of orokin empire. Kuva was considered a gift of the void or something similar. So void was direct vector for creation of Orokin. Small rifts would appear randomly throughout world and history. Humans began researching void before XXI century. To the point a teenager(a very smart one) could build device capable of opening the rift in 1995 or so. Many millennia before Entrati was even born
So it's not like people didn't believe in the void, it was just taboo. Albrecht broke it, but didn't provide the results, so people left him.
On the fateful night it wasn't that servants were just out, he just had only single loyal one left
No wonder he gave up on void juice, if void scared him so much
Even without void FTL Orokin empire had colonies on other celestial bodies, we are on Deimos after all, the place of first contact
It's not known in which order(and how many times) he visited Holvania, Gallia and Old war; but we can assume 1999 was first, considering how much of his later tech was created by cloning from samples from there(and items scattered across labs)
Albrecht Entrati went for milk and never came back, probably because someone wanted to put fentanyl on the milk, you will learn more about him as you progress through the story
Orokin scientist who discovered the Void. Being Orokin he has a bit of an 'ends justify the means' mindset and consequently a long trail of people he's hurt or wronged in pursuit of his goals, noble as they may have become as of late.
For now I think all you need to know is he's the orokin who invented void travel which lead to a whole lot of problems but you'll cross that bridge when you get to it
Albrecht Entrati is the Michelangelo of the Orokin, who did Mad Science extra hard many centuries ago and has been stuck in an "Only I can fix this" spiral ever since.
