been thinking a lot about devilframe, uriel. and just like, the implications of the name?

(take all of these ramblings with a grain of salt, i am by no means an expert on religious stuff. feel free to correct me if i'm wrong)

uriel translates to ‘god is my light’ and ‘fire/flame of god’. the interpretations of him vary, but i've found that he is sometimes an archangel, mostly just an angel; usually of wisdom, truth, salvation, and repentance. he is usually depicted with a flaming sword, standing guard over eden. others have him presiding over hell judging souls with no pity. interestingly enough, apparently there are some legends that replace lucifer with uriel in tempting mankind.

in the devil’s triad teaser, albercht called him ‘heretic of xata’ which translates to ‘heretic of truth’.

and the warframe website also has this to say about him:

A devilish Warframe rises from the flames of perdition. Condemned to torment, his return begs of the Origin System questions of forgiveness and redemption.

perdition is a state of eternal damnation. what the hell did this guy do to be banished to eternal torment and suffering?

if we go more in the direction of him replacing lucifer in the role of temptation: did uriel help in sparking the flames of rebellion against the orokin? 'tempting' others with 'lies', going against the orokin's 'truth', leading to his subsequent banishment and label of 'heretic of xata'? is that why in the key art he's front and center with the banner?

or even just going with the fact that uriel is an angel associated with wisdom and truth, that he goes against the orokin's doctrine in search of further knowledge.

and then there's the whole thing with being associated with the protoframes... marie's little flavor text doesn't hold much but lyon's? from the warframe website once again:

Father Lyon Allard (Harrow) Recognizable by his righteous thurible, Father Lyon is visited by both terrible evil and visions of a future that needs him.

there's another thing about uriel i haven't touched on much. uriel has many alias', but one that caught my eye was 'patron of prophecy'. multiple sources have uriel be the one to deliver messages, and father lyon here is having visions... despite demonic appearances maybe uriel is there to guide the two protoframes. somehow. i don't know he looked pretty feral in the teaser.

Or goth?
