Saren, hands down.
He embodies so many facets so well: Organic vs synthetic. The gradual succumbing of self to the reapers; indoctrination and implantation and the futile struggle to resist. Hopelessness, despair...and eventually hope and redemption. He's a Spectre, he's an enemy. He's a patriot, he's a traitor. He's the personification of a cycle that has occurred countless thousands of times before him, one which the player is watching unfold via the game. He symbolizes the inevitable fall of every civilization...the destiny of every sapient being before the reapers.
It makes me wonder how many "Shepards" have come before our own, in the history of the ME universe. How many other civilizations in past cycles have resisted and had their own "Spectres" and heroes. Which would be a depressing thought and leads me to hope that BW doesn't half-ass the ending with some sort of lolwut trump card that takes out the Reapers like a Sunday-morning stroll. If we take out the Reapers, I hope it's done in a very epic, wow-this-explains-why-no-one-else-succeeded-before way.
Or maybe I'm just tired and am reading too much into it with all my babbling. XD
But on a serious note this.
