If it makes characters less sympathetic to be children who were treated terribly because of the fear of those above them, you might wanna shift your priorities just a bit. Especially since the flesh golem that is the frame can barely operate without the Tenno behind it.

It doesn't have feelings. It doesn't have motives. It simply kills because it is told. It bleeds because it places itself in danger without question. It does not understand the reasons it does things. It simply is. And it will destroy everything, including itself, to save the only thing it deems worthy of any value: the being that grants it life and power.

If you look into the Ember codex entries (Ember and Ember Prime, U18 leaving them unchanged), the children aboard the Zariman were already a part of the story. They were already the true power behind the frames. We already had all the pieces and yet no one wanted to put it together. We knew these children, these orphans, were the true tacticians and warriors.The true medics and defenders. We had already known for so long that the frames were merely a lens through which to focus the destructive powers of the void that had been granted to these terrified adolescents.

We already knew who we were. We denied ourselves. And thus we know our reasons for the war within. But for those that embrace the true self, their actuality...we may see greatness come yet. We may stand and fight beside each other, unleashing our true destructive powers, our proxies left behind as we grapple with the forces we are truly capable of commanding.

We may yet stand among the weak that we fight for. The world may yet see the truth that is the Tenno. And if that time should come that we should let slip the chains we bind ourselves with...the world may soon regret giving us reason.
