The following article/section contains spoilers.

And where have you been scampering, little skitterkin? Hither and yon and round about, and tying knots in the fiend's tail?
—Grandmother

Grandmother is the alias of the grandmother of House Entrati, from Father's side. She is a partially-infested IconOrokinOn Orokin elder who resides within the Necralisk; a Void research enclave located on Deimos. Grandmother serves as the overseer of K-Drive Races on Deimos and rewards players with Entrati Standing when family member tokens are turned in. She is located inside an infested flower on Necralisk to the right of the entrance.

Lore & History[]

General[]

Grandmother belongs to the EntratiIcon Entrati family, who were highly regarded since the Orokin Era for being the first ones to create technologies that harnessed the power of the Void. Her original name was Dagath, but during one Naberus celebration she gave it to a DagathIcon272 then-nameless and faceless Warframe, becoming known as Grandmother forevermore.

Grandmother herself is the mother of Father.

The Infestation of Deimos[]

Main article: Citrine

After a bio-bomb was detonated in Deimos in an attempt to repel the Sentients, the entire moon was overrun with Infestation w Infested. The Entrati had no choice but to lock themselves in the Necralisk and use it as a makeshift safehouse. After the Collapse of the Orokin Empire, there were no Dax or Tenno left to assist in the protection of moon, which resulted in its gradual decline and the abandonment of the Entrati's subterranean Isolation Vaults, after the Grey Strain began to encroach upon the Cambion Drift. Due to Son's habit of interacting with the Infested animals, he would inadvertently break containment protocol and allow Infested spores to make their way inside the Necralisk.

How the Orokin known as Grandmother came to the Deimos expedition is not specified; her grandchildren state she was not a soldier nor a scientist. Nonetheless, she was soon trapped in the Necralisk with her son, her daughter-in-law, and her two grandchildren. While the rest of the family bickered and argued, Grandmother would instead act as a neutral party, often earning their ire. She believed her son's martial discipline exercises were futile attempts at keeping order, however she would not approve of her granddaughter's ridicule, seeing it as too excessive.[1]

Grandmother would attempt to heal the family and keep them together, often taking care of their wounds or ailments.[2] Despite her best efforts, the family became increasingly dysfunctional.

Due to the previous contamination of the Necralisk, Grandmother would soon become infected, along with the rest of the family. The Entrati would then slowly start succumbing to the Infestation, losing many of their memories, though not their identities.

The Re-emergence of Deimos[]

Main article: Heart of Deimos

After the Tenno reunite the Entrati family to restore a destroyed Heart, they meet Grandmother,

However, she comments that, despite their dysfunctional nature, the family will come together in a crisis.[3] The Tenno glean from the conversation that Grandmother caused the events surrounding the Heart's destruction to unite the family.

The Waverider[]

Grandmother, having discovered a Graphica comic dubbed "Waverider #1" in Nef Anyo's possession, offered to purchase the completed Graphica from him. He tasks Roky to unlock the Graphica, but is fatally injured in the process, prompting Boon and the Tenno to take action in her stead. Nef slips having a buyer on Deimos (who is in fact, Grandmother), allowing Boon to contact the buyer and make a deal.

Once the Graphica is completed, Nef Anyo discovers the buyer had backed out, thus leaving him with an unsellable comic he deems useless, instead buying out of the ventilation shafts where the Ventkids live. Boon reveals that he secretly sold a copy of the Graphica to the buyer in exchange for an elixir to heal Roky and removal of their debts. Grandmother, now the Ventkids' new landlady, expresses to the Tenno her disappointment at Nef's greed and his dismissal of what he deems 'commoner art', revealing the completed Graphica of Waverider #1 contains a blueprint for the YareliIcon272 Yareli Warframe.

Rank 5 - Family Spoilers

When the player reaches Rank 5 - Family with the Entrati, a cutscene plays with a conversation between the entire family, where Vilcor gives Mother a Seriglass Shard and convinces her to let go of the shard that binds her to Grandfather. Following this, Vilcor gives Mother the name Gomaitru, meaning "the goblet refilled". This name replaces Mother's in-game name from then on.

The Tenno are fully welcomed into the Entrati family and are bestowed the name Ayatan. Grandmother, for her part, does not take a new name, satisfied with herself just the way she is.

  1. "The 'observations of martial discipline'. [chuckles] How futile. But my grandaughter's ridicule went too far." - Grandmother
  2. "Grandmother used to squeeze the juice out of these to burn off 'warts'. Of course, what we all thought were warts turned out to be something a bit worse." - Son when catching a Caustic Cryptilex
  3. "They're an insufferable lot, aren't they? My son, Father. Blustery and spineless, all at once. His absentee wife, Mother, who can't see past what she's lost... to see what she has. And who can blame the children? Daughter, trying to convince herself she's so different. It only makes her more the same. And the boy, poor Son, he mistakes kindness for mediocrity. Who is he competing with other than himself? But in a crisis, they can come together." - Grandmother during the Heart of Deimos quest
