The Tenno are a faction controlled by the players, and are descendants of an ancient and mystical civilization of lost warriors from the Orokin era on the Origin System. Preserved in cryopods for centuries, the Tenno now awaken to a new war, fighting and resisting opposing factions as the sole bearers of the Orokin-created Warframes. While the memories of the Tenno have faded over time, their mastery of guns, blades, and Warframes, the suits of biomechanical armor, has not.

Note that Warframes themselves fall under the separate species tag Warframe_(Species)
