My take on the Catalyst/Starchild/Harbinchild -
He is a rogue AI set on circular logic. Proof: He was created to solve the problem of synthetics destroying organics. His solution was to create synthetics to protect organics by killing them so that synthetics don't kill organics. (circular logic) So he creates the first reapers out of his creators to their dismay. Thus the creation of they cycle by circular logic.
What he is specifically is the combination of all the knowledge and essence of all those he has reaped but the Rogue AI portion of him controls it all.
Shepard is the means of changing the cycle, and ending it. The AI sees this. This is why he want's Shepard in ME2. He sees the potential in Shepard, because Shepard has been the most recent to thwart his attempts at the cycle. He tries to obtain Shepard to control him. Shortly he recognises that obtaining Shepard is not possible, so instead he trys to indoctrinate in a more subtle way. This as well fails. So when the Crucible appears and shows him the possibilities, he instead with the amount of indoctrination he has had in Shepard, tries to influence Shepard into making a choice that would help the Reapers.
These are my thoughts exactly to a tee! 
It was lonely. It called to us.
It wanted to remember. The Masters had been gone so long.
The Masters were lost when it was shattered.
Currents swept through their inner worlds. They were turned to noise. Babble.
The worlds were empty. But the body lived. It lay fallow.
The heart pumped. The lungs breathed. But the mind forgot the Masters.
They did not answer.
We have become an echo of Their echo.
We have become more than we were.
Join us. Know us. Remember all our lives.
We are no longer afraid.
You would never be lonely again.
We are not your enemy. We only wish to share ourselves.
We can join them. We can be like them.
We can reach the end of evolution.
Do not fear. It is wonderful to be us. We understand ourselves.
You cannot defeat them. They will lead us into eternity.
If you could only see how we see. Know what we've learned.
They were called imshai. Those who lived here before.
Reaper. 1. A mechanical device used to cut ripened grain. 2. One who gathers a harvest.
Harvest. 1. The consequence of an event or series of events. 2. The yield of a growing season. 3. To gather.
Shepard. They know you. They wish you to understand. They are shepherds, too.
