Drusus Thelonius Leverian, or simply Drusus, is the mysterious curator and narrator of the Leverian; a little-known museum dedicated to recording the stories and historical feats of the Tenno and their Warframes.
The Leverian[]
- Main article: Leverian
The Leverian, named after its own avid curator, is a humble museum of artifacts dedicated to preservation of histories and stories. Not wanting history to be forgotten and repeated, Drusus created the museum in hopes of sharing and preserving history for future generations to experience.
Despite receiving donations, Drusus mostly curates his museum independently, gathering and presenting the various artifacts that can be found throughout the Leverian, all while personally narrating the story behind each exhibit.
Lore & History[]
General[]
An avid historian and storyteller, Drusus is a humble man who only seeks to preserve history and share it with future generations. Despite losing his body and becoming a Cephalon, he is still able to fulfill his duties to the Leverian. Before being cephalized, Drusus was a long-standing associate of Albrecht Entrati's assistant, Loid; a friendship that continues to exist even in the present day.
Even though Drusus acts as the main curator of the Leverian, it is only due to the efforts of its one and only chronicler, and dearest friend of Drusus, the Warframe Dante, that much of the museum's exhibits even exist in the first place.
Dante Unbound[]
Threatened with bankruptcy from the Leverian's lack of visitors and low donations, Drusus reluctantly agrees to help Parvos Granum in collecting artifacts pertaining to Albrecht Entrati. But when failing to make payment on time, the artifacts from Dante's gallery are confiscated as compensation, forcing Drusus to turn to the Tenno for assistance. With the help of Drusus' old friend Loid, the Tenno use Albrecht's old Arterial Conduit network to gather enough artifacts.
