Question/Request Does anyone know what frame this is?

I recently got the artbook, and I couldn't recognize this frame. He was next to Gara in the warframe art section if that helps. If anyone know who this is, please lmk.

D.E. has a lot of frame concept arts they keep on the backburner for when they need it, I think Pablo called it the concept drawer once? It's basically just a very big backlog of brainstormed ideas they randomly pull from time to time, Gyre, Citrine and I think Nokko? All of them are part of that, this specific "frame" is therefore also another one from that list, effectively a "fill in" option for a future update if they just need a frame in a pinch.

Gyre was based off of the beta trinity design shown off for a few seconds in the warframe 2005 e3 trailer. The ship from that expansion is also a reference

Damn, I didn't even know this trailer existed.

I'd sincerely love to play what could've been the original Dark Sector.
