Cerberus appears in Mass Effect 3, and is seeking to take control of the Reapers at any cost and set humanity as the dominant power in the Galaxy. The organization has been using Reaper Technology to indoctrinate civilians for the purposes of creating an army loyal to the Illusive Man.
During the Reaper invasion of Earth, Cerberus forces were discovered at the Mars Archives, having infiltrated the facility with the aid of the Cerberus synthetic, Eva Coré, massacring Alliance and civilian personnel alike. Their objective was to retrieve the data for a Prothean superweapon which could defeat the Reapers. Commander Shepard managed to stop them and took Eva's body, which EDI soon came to control.
Cerberus soon began largely opposing Shepard's attempts to unify the galaxy against the Reapers, including launching a raid on Sur'Kesh to kill a fertile krogan female, detonating a bomb to start a war between turians and krogan, reactivating a Tuchanka ground-to-space cannon, kidnapping students from Jon Grissom Academy, assaulting an Alliance communication hub on Ontarom, and assisting Councilor Udina in launching a coup against the Citadel Council.
The Illusive Man also pushed his science division to work on Reaper technology salvaged from the galactic core. When a scientist had completed their work, they'd mysteriously disappear, prompting a number of scientists under Brynn Cole and their families to secede from Cerberus and go into hiding.
I like that that's how so many Cerberus troops are civils, and were being Indoctrinated by TIM, or was it the Reapers fooling TIM to believe that he has the power to Control them/the Reapers.
Cerberus Forces
Cerberus ground forces are formed from personnel - be they unsuspecting volunteers, refugees or abductees - who are deemed physically suitable. These personnel are put through an "integration" process - a combination of Reaper-inspired indoctrination, implantation or other conditioning - and become the various troop variants. While indoctrination is involved, and they are physically altered into a husk-like state, the integration does not reduce them to the feral behavior that Reaper husks exhibit. Instead, Cerberus troops retain enough skills to perform their roles and maintain complete loyalty to Cerberus' cause. Though there is a risk of Cerberus soldiers falling under Reaper control, the Illusive Man was confident that he could maintain control.
Cerberus troops make liberal use of Shield Generators. These can power portable cover systems or Shield Pylons, which envelop nearby units in an extra layer of kinetic barriers.
Cerberus also maintained a significant flotilla of warships to perform covert operations across the galaxy. The bulk of this fleet engaged the Fifth Fleet at Cronos Station.
Cerberus deploys the following forces against Commander Shepard:
After Kai Leng steals a Prothean VI on Thessia containing key information needed to complete the Crucible, both Shepard and Admiral Hackett agree that the information must be recovered before taking on the Reapers. Therefore, the Fifth Fleet assault Cerberus headquarters, dealing a decisive blow to the organization, though the Illusive Man escaped. He later died on the Citadel while it was orbiting Earth.
Despite the Illusive Man's control over Cerberus, one Cerberus cell was reportedly massacring civilians on Benning, which Cerberus painted as a rogue cell.
Okay you know more about Cerberus.
And we now that TIM built an army, and was so confident that the Reapers will not take Control of his troops.
And it looks like he is losing Control over his forces, and they are not representing humanity like TIm dreams Cerberus is Humanity. And we know at the end TIm is not Controlling his thoughts it's the Reapers.
Also who is Controlling who. Are the Reapers Controlling the Cerberus troops, and TIM, and they are making TIM believe that he can Control his troops, and the Reapers.
Mass Effect
During the events of Mass Effect, Commander Shepard discovers that Cerberus was a former Alliance black-ops organization with top-secret credentials and full clearance to Alliance activities. Through Admiral Kahoku, Shepard learns that Cerberus has conducted horrific experiments intended to create super soldiers, including experiments on rachni and Thorian Creepers. They accidentally unleashed rachni on Listening Posts Alpha and Theta when their experimental subjects -- shipped from Noveria -- escaped from Depot Sigma-23. Cerberus also deliberately destroyed a settlement on Chasca by turning the colonial pioneer team there into Husks. A traumatised marine named Corporal Toombs also claimed that in one of their most devastating experiments, Cerberus lured thresher maws to the colony on Akuze, resulting in the notorious massacre, later capturing Toombs -- one of the only survivors -- to conduct brutal tests. Things came to a head when Commander Shepard, investigating the disappearance of a group of marines under Rear Admiral Kahoku, found that Cerberus had lured them to a thresher maw nest using a distress beacon (similar to the "experiment" they allegedly conducted on Akuze). After being informed of the marines' fate, Kahoku bought information from the Shadow Broker and asked Shepard to track Cerberus down. During his investigation, Kahoku came to conclusion that Cerberus was in fact a rogue black ops group that broke away from the Alliance. However, soon after he had managed to contact Commander Shepard with this information, Kahoku was captured and killed by Cerberus. Shepard finds Kahoku's body in a Cerberus facility on Binthu. Shepard then headed to Nepheron to launch an assault on Cerberus' main base.
Why I don't trust Cerberus. And why I didn't like them in ME1
Mass Effect: Ascension
Cerberus plays a key role in the events of Mass Effect: Ascension. It is revealed that Cerberus is led by a mysterious figure known only as the Illusive Man, and that Cerberus' goal is for humanity to be ascendant over all other species. Unlike the Alliance, which is restricted by the laws of the Council, the Illusive Man is prepared to take any action, no matter how heinous, to achieve his goal, believing history will vindicate him. For now, Cerberus has to work behind the scenes. Its primary cover is the starship manufacturer Cord-Hislop Aerospace. Cerberus has operatives across the Alliance, often in high-ranking positions, giving the Illusive Man constant updates and feeding him information that would otherwise be classified.
It is also revealed that Cerberus is responsible for several acts of sabotage and at least one assassination. In 2170, Cerberus engineered the Eldfell-Ashland Energy accident over Yandoa with Paul Grayson as intermediary, and implicitly two other accidents starting four months before that in two other colonies. The death of Claude Menneau in 2173 was also at the order of the Illusive Man.
In Mass Effect: Ascension, Cerberus focuses its attention on two separate projects. The first is human biotics, and they have infiltrated the Ascension Project to take advantage of the Alliance's biotic research. The key test subject is Gillian Grayson, Paul Grayson's daughter, whom Cerberus are feeding specialized medication to turn her into 'humanity's saviour'... or a deadly weapon. The second area of interest is the quarian Migrant Fleet, which the Illusive Man sees as a threat, given that the Fleet is the largest single armada in the galaxy. Also, as creators of the geth, the quarians have suddenly become of much greater interest in light of the recent attack on the Citadel. To this end, the Illusive Man contacts a quarian exile, Golo, to gain the Flotilla's transmission codes.
However, Pel decided to betray Cerberus, planning on selling Gillian and her tutor Hendel Mitra to the Collectors. Grayson killed him but also decided to abandon Cerberus, realizing that they would use his daughter as a weapon.
Now why would TIM see the Migrant Fleet a threat because they created the Geth, and they must be punished.
Now the TIM want's to ascened Humanity just like Harbinger does, but TIm has a diffrent view on asceneding Humanity.
Mass Effect: Retribution
Sometime after the assault on the Collector Base, Cerberus kidnapped
one of their former operatives, Paul Grayson, who was now working for Aria T'Loak on Omega. Cerberus operatives, led by Kai Leng - one of the Illusive Man's top 'wetwork agents'- attacked Grayson's apartment, kidnapping Grayson and murdering his lover Liselle,
as well as two security guards. Grayson was taken to one of Cerberus'
many research stations, where the Illusive Man ordered him implanted
with Reaper
technology which they recovered. However, just before Grayson was
kidnapped, he had sent all the information he had on Cerberus to Kahlee Sanders,
in the hope she could use it to bring down Cerberus or use it as
leverage to protect herself from harm. Sanders turned to Admiral David Anderson
for assistance, who in turn sought the help of the turians due to his
concerns about Cerberus infiltration of the Alliance hierarchy. The
turians launched raids against several Cerberus bases and front
companies, and a number of Cerberus agents and supporters were arrested
on the Citadel, greatly impairing the operations of the organization.
Still believing that Cerberus needed to protect and defend
humanity, and that the augmented Grayson, who had escaped Cerberus
custody during the turian attack, was now a huge threat to Cerberus’s
operations and to humanity itself, the Illusive Man made a business deal
with Aria T'Loak, asking her to kill Grayson in exchange for a
substantial sum of money. The trap failed, and Grayson once again
escaped, setting a course for the Ascension Project.
Kai Leng, who had observed the failed ambush, offered to transport
Sanders and Anderson off-station, but they turned on him, overpowering
him with the aid of a group of turian mercenaries, and used his ship to
pursue Grayson. They soon caught up with him, and Kai Leng was able to
eliminate Grayson and escape capture, albeit in an injured state.
The Illusive Man then made contact once more with Aria T'Loak,
and was able to successfully negotiate the return of Cerberus data logs
from Grayson's time in captivity. With all the 'loose ends' tied up, the
Illusive Man was able to return to the twin tasks of rebuilding his
damaged organization and continuing preparations to combat the Reapers.
I like how TIM was still himself, and that He was getting ready to fight the Reapers, but what happened to Cerberus joining Shepard in the fight against the Reapers. Also we now know why Kai Leng got his new Reaper implants.
What I am trying to say is that Cerberus is working for the Reapers in ME3 that's a fact. But when was TIM Indoctrinated, well it has to be during the retake of Omega. After retreving the Proto Reaper, TIM spent to much time around it, andmost likely caused this new TIM we see in ME3. We also know that TIM was power hungry to make humanity the Dominate speciaes in the galaxy, and look were it got him Indoctrinated.
Also this explains why Cerberus was not the Cerberus we got to know in ME2, and how Cerberus came to be the way they are in ME3.
