Based on the Synthesis stories, Codex Fragments and The War Within, it's my understanding that Orokin were a ruling caste of humanity. Any human could be elevated to Orokin status, in which case they were physically modified (perfect beauty/symmetry, golden irises, etc.) and gained a right to transfer their minds into new bodies, effectively making the Orokin immortal. There were different ranks of Orokin, the highest being Executor, of which there were only seven.
