Mass Effect/Characters

Commander Shepherd
Commander Shepard is a veteran soldier, who has seen a lot of action in many engagements across the galaxy. In addition, Shepard does not have it very easy either, charged with the most important missions in the galaxy, Shepard is therefore authorized to get the job done at all costs – and it's up to you to determine what that cost will be. Often, something must be sacrificed to get further in your mission, and all of Shepard's decisions are important ones, where people's lives hang on the details of each choice.

Ashely
A companion of Commander Shepherd.

Saren Arterius
Saren Arterius is a former turian Spectre. As a Spectre he was known for 'getting results'. What this actually meant was that he more often than not killed everyone within the scope of his current mission, including innocent bystanders, witnesses, and the target(s) in general. He has a seething hatred for humans stemming from the loss of his brother in the First Contact War. After the events described in Mass Effect: Revelation, Saren subsequently takes command of an army of Geth.
