His eyes are explained in Evolution, his choice of office backdrop - in Retribution. And I sincerely hope you're not trolling.

The Illusive Man is partly fully evolved to live in a cave and toss people around. That's why he has blue glowing eyes!

what was out first? the comics or the game?

[Tivis014]

there was the first game, the prequel book, the Liara comics, (galaxy's somewhere in their but it doesn't matter), the second book, the second game, the third book, illusive man comics, now another set of comics is supposed to come out to bridge the gap to the next game.

Reading Retribution now. It's a great read, and gives you some insight into why the illusive man does some of the things he does.

EX: the Sun in the background? He situates his mobile base station in remote, impossible to find locations with highly intimidating backdrops to preserve this image that he is an all knowing, all seeing, entity that you shouldn't F' with!

[Nathan Redgrave]

The Illusive Man's eyes look almost exactly like the glowing cyborg eyes that start to show through as your Shepard gets more and more Renegade in ME2, so he just has some level of cybernetic implant in a similar fashion to Shepard himself. The sun behind the Illusive Man is just the solar body that happens to be near his station at the time--in Retribution, it's explained that the Illusive Man's headquarters is a mobile space station which gets moved around quite often, making the Illusive Man nearly impossible to find, as only trusted agents are ever given its location, and only when they need to go there.

This also provides an explanation for why the star changes color during the final conversation, as it could be written off as him moving to a different system that just conveniently happens to have a star to match the color of the ending--blue for Paragon, red for Renegade.

EDIT: Ninja'd on the mobile station point.

Either:
A- Metaphors that foreshadow surprising expansions of the reaper plot and new mysteries in the ME universe that we have never seen coming. (No, i'm not talkin about TIM being indoctrinated)
B- Just for dramatic effect and "Dat luk guud..." effect.

My money is on B- no offense to Bio's lead writer, The George Lucas retard clone

[Zelnik]

In all honesty, I think TIM is something similar to saren, just another pawn of the reapers. He may be responsible for the reapers picking humanity, even if he thinks he is fighting against them. His conditioning and cybernetic implanting of Shepard may be all part of the puppet mastery done by the reapers to make the ultimate soldier, only to incorporate it into their reaper, or to make a new champion to replace saren.

Illusive man is a geth.



In theory by seeing the Star behind him you should be able to figure out which system he is in.

Cool, I knew about the sun but I never knew about the eyes.

Can I read Retribution online anywhere because nowhere near me sells the comics.

I kinda liked TIM's eyes better when they were just assumed to be ordinary cybernetic implants showing the vast wealth he had at his disposal and his commitment to the advancement of the human race.

Making them the result of some Reaper artifact encounter from decades prior seems kinda cheap and cheesy.

[Manic Sheep]

1. It probably change to blue because blue is the paragon colour, dramatic affect. You’re over analysing. I very much doubt it actually means anything.
2. That makes no sense and his eyes are explained in the comic.
3. Cerberus has alot of money but they don’t have unlimited money. Bringing shepard back and building the Normandy was very expensive for them. Plus he may not have had access to the better armour.

It does explain how he was willing to accept the whole Reaper thing so easily, though.

[Hathur]

Eyes: Explained in the comic, they were changed by TIM's encounter with the reaper artifact.

The planet(s): Explained in the novels. TIM's base is mobile and constantly moves to different star systems to make it much harder to isolate / capture him (he has countless enemies.. I.e. the entire Council).

[xlI ReFLeX lIx]

^ Hey thanks for that. I was wondering why his eye looked so cool

[adi21]

Is it possible that the sun behind him is Haestrom's sun from the Dholen system?

His eyes look like sarens eyes in my opinion.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think hes part husk.

[Ananka]

I've wondered about the sun/star/whatever too, mostly because it is affected by your choice in the end sequence, suggesting that it is somehow connected to the collector base or shepard.

If you chose to destroy the base the sun/star/planet goes blue
keep it- red
shepard dies but destroys the base- a mix of blue and red.

I'm inclined to believe that this is part of a story element rather than just TIM travelling around in space. Don't see why it would have been included if it didn't mean anything.
