Pazuul is the current leader of Narmer who succeeded Ballas following his death in The New War. Introduced in Veilbreaker, Pazuul is an Archon formed by the union of Erra's body with the head of a demonic ram.
Lore & History[]
Tau System[]
Pazuul the Ram was once a Sentient Beast, which were Sentients created by Praghasa and Hunhow to serve as the peacekeepers of Tau. The Ram acted as the de facto leader of the beasts, with Boreal, Amar, and Nira only answering to him.
The other beasts participated in The Old War, dying and becoming resurrected by Erra who converted them into Archons; hybrid abominations of Sentient and Warframe.
Veilbreaker[]
Kahl-175 mentions that Pazuul's "body is dead worm", suggesting that Erra had died during The New War and Narmer had grafted the ram head onto his corpse.
During Archon Hunts, the Lotus remarks about Pazuul indeed being a reanimated Erra, with the ram acting as a parasite as it and the other vengeful Archons keep Erra's consciousness suppressed. She hopes her brother may be restored by defeating the other resurrected Archons.
The Lotus suggests that Pazuul is building something that requires a large amounts of resources to build. The function and purpose of Pazuul's creation currently remains unknown.
Trivia[]
- Pazuul's name may be derived from Pazuzu, a figure from ancient Mesopotamian religion who is depicted as an anthropomorphic being with an animal head, resembling the form of the Archons including Pazuul of a human-shaped entity with a beastly head.
- Occasionally during Archon Hunts, Erra's voice breaks through and he appeals to the Tenno for forgiveness. This suggests that some of Erra's mind, still remorseful since the climax of The New War, remains in Pazuul. This could also be Pazuul trying to manipulate the Tenno by using their knowledge of Erra's betrayal of Ballas against them.
- In contrast to the rest of the Archons, Pazuul's Archon Crystal is jammed across his skull, as opposed to being attached where the host body's head would normally be.
- Said Crystal does not appear in in-game transmissions, though this could just be a rendering error.
