Revenants are a race of reanimated bodies and creatures that have either originated from or have been corrupted by the influence of the Dark Aether. Have a lengthy history, the quote-on-quote “Zombies” of the Dark Aether have come and gone under a multitude of different leaders. Currently, they are under the command of an entity known as The Forsaken, who uses them along with his Aetherial powers to corrupt beings and spread the influence of the Dark Aether.

Currently, large swathes of Revenants have been detected across the European Dead Zone, Arcadian Valley, Rathmore Chaos, and Echo Mesa according to Vanguard reports. While it is unknown how exactly the Revenants ended up in Sol, a leading theory hypothesized by Osiris states that the event caused by the Witness's entry into the Traveler that resulted in the appearance of Airy, the Witness's Chosen along with his Taken Aspect entourage maybe be to blame for the appearance of the Revenants.

  • Tormentor - Volatile, crystalline beings composed of a more reactive and explosive variant of Aetherium crystals. Will chase down individuals at high speeds, before exploding themselves.

  • Mimic - Corrupted bodies of individuals exposed to prolonged periods of Dark Aether radiation. Bodies are severely corrupted and mutated to the point that recognition is impossible.

  • Mangler - Reanimated by remains of super soldiers from a bygone era. Decomposition is about the same level as regular Zombies.

Are formidable opponents and sometimes command swarms of Zombies and other Dark Aether entities.
