Title reaper-employed bugs who are actuall keeping tabs on the best of ach soecies, the technology we create, home worlds of species, and which species have space flight for this cycle, and in return their people aren't harvested.

The Keepers' connection to the Reapers was severed by whatever it was that the Protheans did.

But even if that wasn't the case, the Keepers technically couldn't be considered traitors. They'd be indoctrinated and genetically and mechanically engineered lifeforms, designed for whatever purpose the Reapers assigned them. Just as the Collectors can't be considered traitors of the Prothean Empire (they don't have free will), the Keepers couldn't be considered traitors either. Like the Collectors, the Keepers were Reaper slaves.

The Keepers were created by the Reapers with the dual purpose of taking care of the Citadel and opening the Citadel Relay every 50,000 years. Like the Collectors, they lack the intelligence or sentience to deviate from their designated purpose. They are never at risk of being harvested, and neither do they take an active role in "keeping tabs" on species - they (the galactic spacefaring species) do that all too well on their own by conveniently storing all galactic information aboard the Citadel, which the Reapers then access to learn what they need to effectively harvest the galaxy's civilizations.

 Well, if we use the same logic others use to determine the Reapers' guilt, then the answer would be YES.


Thankfully, the Protheans did not think like humans.

Nah, I know we didn't even speak to them, but we trusted them!

There is nothing really left of a functioning being. They are pretty much organic machines at this point.

Everything - Replaced by tech.

First, could you edit this so I can better understand it?

Second, the Keepers were already harvested long ago and turned into what they are today. Talk to Vigil again about them.

I don't see them as betrayers. But, they certainly can't be fully trusted, IMO.

Now that they are known Reaper converts (albeit not always under their control), I'd put them out the Citadel airlock. 4 sure.

They can regain my trust by fixing the mass relays after I destroyed them. Shouldn't be too much of a stretch considering the Citadel is one itself...

Considering how the Keepers didn't serve the people who lived on the Citadel, no. Everyone left them alone and no one could talk to them, let alone tell them to do anything.
