I hold on to the idea that the N7 logo was used by Bio as a marketing attention grabber and look.... it worked!
That is why Bio mentioned he is NOT the protagonist.

It has been repeated countless times that "Trailer N7 Guy" isn't the playable character.
My gut says he's the tip of the spear, the initial human explorer into the Andromeda galaxy. He's the proven veteran who gets the very important mission.
Trailer N7 reports that colonizing Andromeda would be fruitful, but sh1t hits the fan during his expedition. The Alliance loses contact with him, and this is where the N7 we'll be playing as comes in.
We're now tasked with colonizing Andromeda and finding Trailer N7.
Anyways, what role do you think Trailer N7 has in the story?
Probably not the first pathfinder. He might be IF it's a direct sequel. If not, if the story starts before the ending of ME3 I don't think they would have the time to send one guy with some companions to explore it first sight and then turn back to tell them it's all cool.
Where does he relate? No idea. It could just be one of those story unrelated trailers who's purpose is to hook you and show you something familiar(N7 logo). But maybe he'll be the new Illusive Man or/and the one that first discovers the first Remnant ruin or how to adapt their tech to "our" technology.
I had lotta theories.
Time for yours
Trailer guy will show up in the last act to help out, but not do anything important. Like Big Ben guy.
Well, I came up with something similar to a theory in the twitter thread, thanks to the analysis of this video
:
I want to point out something the author says: she says it is possible three Arks start the journey but only one (protagonist's Ark) made it to Andromeda. What if N7BadGuy's Ark made it too but not in a good way? For N7 his Ark would be the chosen one, not ours. He would be so pissed off we made it without pain as their Ark, something like that.
An approach like that would give us some Cerberus vibes, in a sense we have not only the conflicts preexistent in Andromeda with the natives (Khet and Remnant) but also we have some of our own people which don't think about us as allies anymore.

good job
my fav analysis so far
Best part is when you identified the southpaw stance and multiple ark ships.
Seeing all those arks makes me think this is more than just an innocent exploration. We're evacuating as many of humanity's best as possible for the sake of survival
Of course bio would say he isn't the protag. We are the trailer N7. The trailer, the leaks, this new E3 trailer. the pieces fit.It has been repeated countless times that "Trailer N7 Guy" isn't the playable character.

Except for the times the protag appears in white armor with A on it instead of N7
So unless we can fully change armor, the N7 guy isn't the protag

Name me a time when a straight answer given to a question made by bioware wasn't true because honestly i don't remember it
If our protag will always be running around in a white suit, I'll play as the girl.
I refuse to be a male white knight.
I don't have N7 armor on my shep all the time. Your point? My point is that guy we saw at E32014 was N7. Guy in trailer last year leading OUR squadmates, N7. Guy with dust on suit, N7 protagonist. It's all there. Guy with Krogan who is dropping human off platform, N7 armor. He's us. See.Except for the times the protag appears in white armor with A on it instead of N7

Found some evidence to support your argument because I want to be that N7 with the Krogan that drops person.

That was also before they stated the N7 wasn't our protag

you're right. We could not be that one specific N7. But we can be a different person and still N7.
Simply put I don't wanna run around in a goofy white suit.
N7 guy with his helmet makes me think of Cullen with his lion helmet.
I dunno its just a feeling, but maybe its someone we've seen before. Not a companion from the first 3 games, but someone from the backround/sidelines.
That guy from trailer we saw is...

They've alluded to there being more than one Ryder and alluded to a Ryder Family in the live interview which means it is possible the person known as the Trailer N7 Guy may be related to the protagonist.
Also, female character at the end of the trailer is fem!Ryder.

We can always customize, wouldn't be different now

People creating characters like to lean towards goody good Superman types even though Batman types are much more successful.
He's your brother if female, sister if male, who will be working with a more aggressive faction of milky-wayers, and for a bit, you'll be running damage control after him/her.
(Disclaimer: Probably not. That's just my current tinfoil hat from the trailers.)
thanks. That's what I was talking about.Found some evidence to support your argument because I want to be that N7 with the Krogan that drops person.

Of course they would say that. For hush hush. Can't say that now unless your deaf or blind. You watched the trailer. Accept this.That was also before they stated the N7 wasn't our protag

Accept what? I really don't care either way
The N7 guy is mostly like the protag's sibling
And that's more likely how? What sibling? There is no sibling. It's bull****. That is my fear for Andromeda. I customize my appearance and I have a sibling who looks nothing like me. How are they going to explain that?Accept what? I really don't care either way
