General Ability: Health-pool manipulation, lifesteal. In-Game Abilities: Passive - Increase the amount of health regenerated per second for teammates, while Uzziel loses health over time. Fear Not - Cause enemies to scatter, attack each other, and cause general chaos as they run about in abject fear and terror.

Additionally, while this effect is active, teammates deal increased damage to the affected enemies. 25 energy. Crown of Thorns - Summon fleshy "thorns" around the heads of enemies within a several meter radius, gradually killing and draining them of health, which is then used to replenish the health of teammates and Uzziel himself. 50 energy. Wear and Tear - Every time you take damage from any source while this is active, transfer said lost health to friendly units in the form of raising their overall health for the duration of the mission. 55 energy.

Summary: A truly tortured soul, Uzziel underwent some of the most inhumane torture possible at the hands of the Orokin. It is said that for every day he spent being tortured beyond recognition by them, he spent that same amount of time slowly enacting his revenge upon them. Use Uzziel to become what your enemies fear most. Reset the clock that's ticking to your ultimate demise. Make sure that nobody has to suffer the way Uzziel did, ever again.
Background:
"Dearest Uzziel. Why must you struggle so? What's that? You want your face back…? I can oblige, I suppose… Just sit still, damn it!" ~ Unknown Orokin.
During the war between the Tenno, Sentients, and Orokin, Uzziel was one of the few conscious and sapient warframes, made by Ballas in a fashion similar to Excalibur Umbra, but with significantly less venom and hatred involved. During the war, his operator was killed in front of him, and he was captured and taken in by the Orokin. After years of endless torture at Ballas' hands, Uzziel's helminth-induced outer skin was cut from his body and fashioned into a horrifying metallic patchwork, that was then given to Uzziel to wear. Everything but his face was removed, that is and to this day he wears a "mask" of his previous warframe appearance, which appears veiled and crowned with "thorns".
Uzziel will never be satisfied, not now that Ballas is dead, not now that his only purpose has been taken by the Dealmaker… Uzziel's endless obsession and neverending pain will only cause more pain to himself, and others around him, now.
To be Uzziel is to embody suffering, pure and simple. Appearance: Skinned and tortured, the entire surface area of Uzziel's flayed form is covered with painful lesions and helminth-inflicted scar tissue. Most of said lesions are self inflicted. The same thorns crowning his "masked" head spiral tightly around his arms, while his patchworked helminth skin is pulled into something resembling a toga.
Signature Weapons: Crucified - A four barreled gun with the first two barrels in a row (horizontally), and the other two lowered downwards, to where it forms something resembling an arch. Gold filigree outlines it the weapon, and verses in an unknown language are scrawled across its surface. It is fairly large, and deals primarily slash damage, alongside piercing. It shoots rounds not to dissimilar to what the boltor uses, but significantly larger, and alongside that, unlike the boltor, it is not a full-automatic. It is in fact semi-auto, but one pull of the trigger sends all four barrels firing. Hierophant - A whip made of the same "thorns" that Uzziel can summon, its handle is one carved from the wood of a tree that only grows now in and around Cetus. Extreme slashing damage, as well as leeching small amounts of health per enemy killed.
