Let's kill Nef Anyo

[Radioactive Grass]

I'm tired of this man and his advertisement beard He thinks he is so cool with his dark eye shadow. This man has enslaved the Solaris and worst of all he enslaved me by forcing me to play the index like 5 times in the glast gambit!

On a serious note, why haven't the Tenno tried to kill Nef? He's enslaved a race and kidnapped a child and is one of the biggest corpus leaders(?)But no attempt has been made to even capture the dude?

Dude! That would be a helluva sortie! A series of sabotage missions, some index runs, maybe pulling favors from some of the syndicates, missions to hunt down his coordinates, an above-and-beyond capture mission including an epic boss-fight, and having to physically drag him out (not just beaming him out like the usual), some very satisfying cut-scenes. and JUSTICE for the people of Solaris.

Nef Anyo was built up into the most enormous scumbag in all of Warframe, anything less epic would be kind of a wasted opportunity (more epic would always be better, which I'm more than sure DE can pull off. Harrow's quest was really good).

Nef Anyo took away their all of their faces, their bodies, he scrambled their individuality, took away and parted off so many their friends, he had Thursby butchered...

Tyl Regor I felt pitty for. I really wanted to walk up to him as he was drying and be able to say "You fought with great conviction, rest well mighty general. I will see to it that your work is completed, and that your tube men can receive all that you did for them and know that it was your devotion and love for them that brought them health." (getting a bit deep into open-ended free-thought, but the guy's hard to not admire)

Not denying it wouldn't make a cool raid but my God... that amount of detail is concerning...

I read into things.
The way Nef adorns himself, that kind of outfit is either purely decorative and requires him to be ultra-protected, or it has utility to it. Given how rigid it looks, if it's a utility-build then it's armored and can most likely fly or even levitate, so "beating him within an inch of his life" isn't quite so easy, and could require pulling him out of that void key outfit as well.
After being pulled out he's not going to walk back willingly, and likely has something to prevent him from being digitized. All the other capture marks have to be beaten down in a similar manner but they have armor and using a warframe against an unarmored Nef would likely result in a mess strongly resembling something akin to "Lasagna night gone horribly terribly wrong"
Also, I'm pretty sure that Nef would not be quiet while being carried out of his personal area by a warframe, and with no protection whatsoever I can't imaging him being anything other than cowardly. Bargaining and haggling are is his nature, so I would see someone like him trying to buy his way out of it simply out of reflexive habit, or at very least to get himself back into some semblance of familiarity.
Being pitched into a trash can is a pride-breaker.
Being thrown down in front of all those people he's abused wearing silk pajamas (there's no way he's going commando) is a well-deserved heaping plate of poetic justice and sanctification for a people who could use some.
The fade-to-black leaves everything to the imagination
From the legendary way Eudico is talked about Nef would probably be screaming like a little girl is Eudico did do much as raise a hand as if to strike him.

For all anyone knows, the Solarans could very well be in the mind to trade him his freedom and all of his Index losses back in return for their lives, bodies, and faces back.

The humiliation he got, eh, that's the interest payment for all the BS.
Non-refundable.

The real question for me is.....










Is that black ♥♥♥♥ on his face make-up, a tattoo or what? Looks like magic marker.. is it supposed to be a beard in the future?

Just what type of fashion is it?

edit - at least it would be kind of cool if it was a tattoo... IDK

It's essentially the same thing as shaving off your eyebrows and painting them back on.

I fully support this. After all it's one Corpus pseudo-stalin vs. up to four borderline psychotic killing machines armed with... Well I'll leave that up to your imagination, although I'd recommend infested weaponry for extra brutality. I personally have been waiting for the chance to off the sucker since I first saw him properly in a storyline.

Nef doesn't know how to fashion frame.

You know if this had COD mechanics all we'd have to do is rack up 25 kills for a tactical nuke. Then again we also have tactical nuke launchers Lenz-Zarr at our disposal so I guess the only issue would be getting in position.

Just bring Nova, that ought to do the trick.

I for one am NOT a mercenary! I am a genocidal maniac hellbent on a crusade to kill hundreds of thousands of sapient lifeforms for the singular purpose of enlarging his collection of shiny things that go "boom"!

On another note, I don't believe we've actually seen him in person yet, maybe we haven't found him

The Perrin Sequence might be able to step in, if that's the Tenno motivation.

Wouldn't surprise me if that were true. :-)

Tbh, the real reason is plot. Having grand villains is really useful to give us character motivation, but if we could take them out same as we do regular trash (or even as we do in boss fights), there would be less to fight against. It's part of why Alad V has come back multiple times; and why Handsome Jack has been in most of the Borderlands games. Like them or hate them, they make for good villains. :-)

I'm sure we'll get to taking out Nef Anyo (or the corporate server facility housing Nef Anyo :-p ) eventually. But we'll get there when we get there. Same with the Grineer Queens + the Infested hive-mind (or whatever it is), too.

But Ordis, Suda or Simaris would be able to find out right? Since all Cephalon's are connected to one network?

stage assaults on banks where he keeps funding

he'll kill himself at that point

We're basically doing that with the Index. You'd think the guy would eventually stop gambling. He's got a problem!

TBH Anyo is more a mastermind than a real fighter. If we were to find and "fight" him, he'd put even less resistance than a capture target, because they, at least, knows how to operate a gun. Nef isn't that, he's just a master con artist and a hard-trusting "laissez-faire" businessman. The fight would be... Disappointing.

Good, if we ever capture him one day, He's walking the plank of my Railjack.
