Forum:Revenants

Revenants are a race of reanimated bodies and creatures that have either originated from or have been corrupted by the influence of the Dark Aether. Have a lengthy history, the quote-on-quote “Zombies” of the Dark Aether have come and gone under a multitude of different leaders. Currently, they are under the command of an entity known as The Forsaken, who uses them along with his Aetherial powers to corrupt beings and spread the influence of the Dark Aether.

Currently, large swathes of Revenants have been detected across the European Dead Zone, Arcadian Valley, Rathmore Chaos, and Echo Mesa according to Vanguard reports. While it is unknown how exactly the Revenants ended up in Sol, a leading theory hypothesized by Osiris states that the event caused by the Witness's entry into the Traveler that resulted in the appearance of Airy, the Witness's Chosen along with his Taken Aspect  entourage maybe be to blame for the appearance of the Revenants.
