Yeah, it sure is. I though it might be relevant enough to dedicate an entire thread to it considering the fact that he makes an appearance in the Redemption comic, albeit in holographic form:
Even though it might just be some kind of avatar instead of actually being the Shadow Broker's silhouette, the shape of his head suggests that he is a drell, without a doubt the rarest species in the Mass Effect series so far. So rare, in fact, that we have only seen three so far. The first two are obvious: assassin Thane Krios and his son, Kolyat. The third, however, is exclusive to the Mass Effect: Redemption comic: Feron, an agent of the Shadow Broker who joins Liara on her quest to save Shepard's body from none other than the Shadow Broker himself. In the end he ends up getting captured by the Broker's enforcer, Tazzik... or did he?
I find it to be highly unlikely that the Shadow Broker turns out to be someone, or something, we never knew. Revealing the identity of an entity this mysterious and intriguing will no doubt be one of the memorable moments of the series, and thus it will probably be a shocking revelation to say the least. A random volus or asari would not have the same impact as someone you may know and possibly care about.
Wouldn't having Liara's new friend turning out to be the Shadow Broker be a great twist? I can definitely see BioWare pulling a Keyser Söze like that, which would also change how one would look at the comic: the legendary Shadow Broker turning out to have been playing with Liara, Cerberus and the Collectors/Harbinger all along, never intending to sell the hero of the Battle of the Citadel to the Collectors, but just furthering his own plans, whatever those may be...
In any case, whoever - or whatever - the Shadow Broker may actually be, tell me and the rest of the community about who you think he - or she, or it, or they - is.
