The Scoria was an organization of assassins first mentioned in Ash's Leverian entry. It is unknown what their purpose was in Orokin society.
Lore & History[]
General[]
The Scoria was an Orokin school of political assassins. It is unknown why they were created, who created them, where they were located, and who led them. The Warframe Ash was seen as the patron saint of the school, and was revered as an idol among its members.
Each member bore a smoky-black jewel that was implanted between their eyes, and were seen as a symbol of both admiration and fear during the Orokin Era. These gems also act as memory blockers, causing a great deal of pain as it burns away any thoughts and memories deemed unwanted by the Scoria. The effect is temporary, as the removal of the gem will also remove the memory block and cease any more pain.

Scoria Ethos[]
The Scoria were a very harsh and strict organization. Capture was deemed unforgivable, and those members where detained were to become targets of assassination themselves, as was the case of the DeNas brothers.

Some of the Scoria members are implied to have been kidnapped and converted into assassins against their will, with the black jewels being used to block out any memories of who they used to be.
- Ash (Formerly) - Patron saint idolized by the Scoria. However, he betrayed the organization during The Collapse, having spared the DeNas brothers and assassinated the Scoria's senior ranks.
- Dom DeNas (Formerly) - Son of Lio DeNas, and brother to Pilio DeNas. Was exceptionally skilled, but he was captured and freed by his father.
- Pilio DeNas (Formerly) - Son of Lio DeNas, and brother of Dom DeNas. Not as gifted as his brother and was assigned to assassinate him after his capture, with Ash personally overseeing the mission. After witnessing the truth behind his brother's capture, Ash removed Pilio's memory-blocking jewel and allowed the DeNas family to escape.
