Batarians. Think about it. It would have to be someone with a serious grudge against Shepard.

Someone mentioned Miranda's father. I'd go with that, too since he's working for Cerberus and has quite a bit of power.

I'm voting for this group.

1. The mastermind with the Cerberus connections -- Elias Kelham. He's a human with an axe to grind against anti-human politicians. 90% of you stopped his assassination attempt on an anti-human politician Joram Talid. Talid won election and made his life miserable. And you beat the living crap out of him, well most of you did, right. Come on, 'fess up. Enhanced interrogation. Unless you were a paragon pansy. I shot Talid anyway, but that's not going to help because I'm human. He wanted an alien to take out Talid.

2. Kelham has a toad now that you took out this guy's organization...Harkin. That former C-sec officer. You haven't seen the last of this guy. Put him out of his misery.

3. The traitor: Kelham has Bailey in his pocket. Bailey is dirty. He's been taking bribes from Kelham and Kelham is about to call in his markers.

This is why it takes place AFTER the coup attempt. The Udina Coup attempt was interesting. My theory is that Cerberus' instructions were to wound Bailey but not kill him. This was to insure that there was a friendly C-sec Commander in place after the coup, and the troops would fall in line.

The VS was to take care of Shepard. Kai Leng and company was to take care of the VS and the rest of Shepard's group, and Udina the council. Bailey was to arrive and holster his weapon with everything under control.

In case of failure, Bailey would then let Kai Leng escape into the Keeper Tunnels by being just slow enough and not pursuing him.

Things didn't work out, and Kelham is looking for payback. He's the Donovan Hock of the Citadel.

Interesting theory!

The person behind the conspiracy is dependent upon your Shepard's personal history.

If your Shepard was a Spacer, it turns out to be Shepard's mother, Hannah Shepard. During the climactic boss battle she fires biotic blasts while screaming 'You never call!  You never write!'

If your Shepard was an Earthborn, it turns out it is the leader of the Dickensian street gang that you used to run with. Shepard can only defeat this top hat wearing ruffian 'Wif a li'l bit of bloomin' luck'.

If your Shepard was a Colonist, the enemy is revealled to be Shepard's pet Siamese cat, who, having been kidnapped by the Batarian slavers at Mindoir, was turned into a cybernetic monster bent on revenge. While dodging Mr. Tiddles' drone attacks, Shepard will be haunted by the cry: 'Can I Haz Vengeance?'


...Either that or some more worn out Cerberus nonsense.

Clearly It's the Doctor Shepard is really one of the Masters regenerations and is the true villain the reapers actually the good guys who tried to stop the Master

[Sir Ulrich Von Lichenstien]

It's going to be Blasto I reckon

He is jealous of Shepard taking the centre stage again

I was under the impression Hannah couldn't physically appear in the games at all, because Shepard is supposed to look just like her, and Shepard's appearance is completely up to the player... but that's nit-picking a not serious assumption.

Whoever it is, if it's someone we've met before, it has to be someone that CANNOT die at any point in the previous two games. It has to be someone that everyone (regardless of how Paragon or Renegade you play) meets but never kills and would have a reason to want Shepard dead. Off the top of my head, I can't think of  a single person that might fit that criteria...

And Udina doesn't count, since he dies during the coup.

bailey makes sense - which is why it wont be him (seriously i dont believe bioware would be capable of writing that good anymore) same goes for hanar - and their drell assassins - who are pissed about the death of the collectors.

which is why i think itll be a throwaway character, someone with resources and connections who sheperd has pissed off. there are many of those but most can die or are now dead.
one who sticks out though is anoleis the ex administrator of noveria.

and since no dlc post would be complete without ample straw grasping, heres a quote from the mass effect wiki.

"Given Noveria's unique situation, it is the source of many wild conspiracy theories." 

and yes - thats a direct quote

The only two characters that consitantly match that criteria are the Illusive Man or Harbinger (either of which wouldn't surprise me if they were the antagonists of Citadel DLC).

I've thought it over and I still don't believe they are the ones. With the Reapers around, it wouldn't make sense for the batarians to take revenge on Shepard until after the Reapers have been defeated. It makes more sense to fry the big fish first then go after the little fish last, and Shepard is the litte fish.

How would the Sanctuary mission link up his involvement in the Citadel DLC if this is true, providing if you played the Citadel DLC before going to Sanctuary?

[WhiteKnyght]

EDI: You may be surprised to know that the Batarians are much more agreeable without the Hegemony watching over them.

Balak: I'm the highest ranking officer left in the Hegemony, and I cant save my people. But I can end you. - Gaaaah! Our ships are yours. . . .

The Batarians are on Shepard's side. Only ones left with a grudge against Shepard are Balak and the guy on life support.

[Sir Ulrich Von Lichenstien]

Shepard's Dad (yes even Colonist... he actually survived unbeknownst to Shepard maybe)... as for the skin thing, simple Bioware just does what they did with Hawke's Mother, Carver and Bethany and alter them to match with His/Her tone.

After all, Shepard is the only one so far not to have had Daddy Issues

[WhiteKnyght]

As for who's out to get Shepard. It'd be hard to pinpoint exactly. Shep makes as many enemies as Joker makes bad jokes.

If it's supposed to be someone from Shepard's past. It'd have to be someone whose humiliation/downfall/etc isn't affected by player choice and someone that is scripted to go down, something you cant avoid, otherwise there's no motive.

Only problem is, that's pretty much everybody. Except for Saren, Warden Kuril, Wilson, Udina, And they're all dead.

Unless they're going back further and delving into Shepard's Pre-Saren history.

HAHAHAHA at the first time it opened Garrus' page :unsure:

Sounds good. For me, it was this guy.

Hahaha, mine opened up to 'Systems Alliance'. Then I realized how curveball of a conspiracy that could unfold to be. I've got my eye on you, Hackett.

Mine took me to Eddie Leng's page, imagine my surprise.

...Turrets. The conspiracy is by Turrets.

O_O

I just clicked this thing for fun again, and it took me to, in this order,

Cerulean Star from the blaso comic
Collector General page
Harbinger's page.

It's a sign from the gods, that asari has been assumed direct control of and is trying to kill shepard for harbinger.

After the synthesis ending, I don't think that anything is too preposterous for the reapers.

Aliens Colonial Marines does worse and Bioware wouldn't pull that stunt (I hope). More likely connected to a choice made in earlier games or worse idea the dead boy from Earth's dad, cause I just can't get enough of his story...

Actually could be Tombs with his squad of anti-cerberus fighters, made up of former Cerberus fighters like in the MP.

Can't be Tombs, as he could be dead for a fair number of Shepards

[Anthadlas]

The guy from Purgatory who said he will kill you for taking a shot at him

But knowing Bioware it's probably the Illusive Man and we get to fight more Cerberus, yay...

But the best by far would be if it was the Turian Councillor

Small problem with this.

1. Doesn't take into consideration that some people would kill Talid, which Kelham would like.

2. Doesn't take into consideration that some people skip Thane's loyalty mission. Or even skip recruiting Thane at all.

3. Doesn't take into consideration that Bioware admittedly does not lock DLC behind roleplaying choices. Meaning whoever is behind the conspiracy is either a new character, or one who is universally screwed over in every playthrough with no option to avoid or refuse.

[TMB903]

I hope it doesn't involve Cerberus. Pretty sick of them. Hopefully this DLC has a strong Reaper/Harbinger presence.

[Cainhurst Crow]

It will be Wilson, the undead lazarus project assistant.

[Nterl0k]

Conrad Verner, there's no other illogical choice that's any better.

I'm sure as bat-****-coo-coo-for-Fruit-Loops crazy that Bioware has gone since ME3 released my hard earned space credits are on him being the villain.

[ahnariprellik]

My bet is on Harby or TIM. Who else are we gonna need the entire cast from the whole trilogy fighting alongside us to defeat?
