Thing is, I don't think they even thought about the Drell when the Shadow Broker was interduced

Perhaps not, but they might've not even thought a definitive identity for the Shadow Broker at that point either.

That said, i don't agree about it being a drell.

I want to put this out there: It's a Krogan because no one would expect a Krogan to be the shadow broker. They've shown they can be intelligent (Wrex, the urdnot scientist, the shaman) and that they can have social skills (the Krogan working for Mr. Thax) plus they live as a long as Asari.

[chestersmurf]

As with everyone else this is just a guess but I do think that it is a real possibility that the Shadow Broker is a reaper/agent of a reaper and the information is traded and sold in order to keep the Galaxy developing along the path that has been set out for them.

You ever wonder what happened to the Prothean scientists who escaped from Ilos to set the virus on the Citadel they didn't return to Ilos through the mini mass relay ... hmmmm ... could they and their decendents be the Shadow Broker?

The Protheans most likely died because the Citadel was most likely stripped of food and water.

How smart are Drell and how long do they live?

They live an average of 85 years (according to ME Wiki). As for how smart they are, they have eidetic memory.. so pretty darn smart

Memory storage and intelligence are two very different things.

shadow broker is:



a random drell

a new human character

reaper servant

admiral hackett

geth

and if bioware decides to be something extremely lazy: Illusive man

I'd venture that Shadow Broker is most likely a Salarian.

*Mild Spoilers*

1) Pretty sure the Shadow Broker(s) have been around since before humans.
2) Salarians are known for their intelligence work: The League of One, STG, Spectres etc. Don't you think then that the head of the best intelligence group in the galaxy would be headed by a Salarian?
3) Salarians have photographic memory and can remember all of their distant relatives. Another assest that would be good for the Shadow Broker.
4) Supposedly one of the alleged "League of One" members survived. I'd venture this member became the first Shadow Broker.

Other notes...

-The Shadow Broker can't be a Reaper Agent/Indoctrinated. Why? In ME1 the Shadow Broker is clearly upset that Fist joined Saren. If the Shadow Broker was a Reaper puppet why would they get mad at Fist joining Saren/Sovereign?
-The Shadow Broker can't be T.I.M. He says so himself he doesn't trust Liara because she's working under the Shadow Broker.

-The Shadow Broker could be an Asari since they have very long life spans.
-Could be a Turian, but doesn't really fit the role.
-Might be a Volus since they are merchants by trade, and what better to trade then information for money. Perhaps Barla Von was the Shadow Broker?
-Probably not going to be a Hanar, Elcor, or Quarian.
-Not Vorcha or Batarian I can tell you that.

-If the Shadow Broker isn't a Salarian I'd almost be willing to bet money that the Shadow Broker is an A.I./Geth.
-Perhaps the Shadow Broker is some rare Alien?
-Or maybe the Shadow Broker is just a cover for a small secretive group.

The Illusive Man is kind of "Shadowy" don't you think?

[NKKKK]

I'm a fan of Shadow Broker is Feron, so she could forget about him.

[TheCerberus14]

I have a feeling that the Shadow Broker is an AI. I'm surprised no one else has said this.

[Lizmichi]

Just to throw it out there the Shadow Broker could be a geth. The geth share all they know so any one geth could know quiet allot. Never said that the Shadow Broker was an organic. I know it seems unlikely but if no one has seen him then being a geth would be a good reason for the Shadow Broker to not what to be seen.
I also agree with an Asari. They live long enough and can share minds with others. Hell it could be Aria. She hinted to holding information with great value and with her mercs she can get any info she wanted. Though that is most unlikely because of her helping Liara to find Shepherd's body when the Shadow Broker was looking for Shep as well.
It could be a Dread Pirate Roberts thing too. When the Shadow Broker has had enough he works as a hench men for a while and gives the new Shadow Broker all the info they know.  That points more to an Asari because they wouldn't need to train the new Shadow Broker, just share minds.

So the shadow Broker is a Salarian who's been around before humans? salarians have shorter lifespans than the average human lifespan. the humans been around probably over 200 years apart of the Galactic Alliance.
 The consort is a Asari who can live to be 1, 000yr. She's like a dignitary who gets to meet with alot of people who can know other people. She's famous for knowing other famous people. She's like a prostitute, and a consultant in one (meaning her plenty clients can tell her anything or stuff about anyone).

does this guy not seem shadowy at all? do anyone know the definition to the word illusive?

lol would not suprise me if it was the Consort.

I like the 13th survivor "League of One" theories here, could work... very cool.

However, considering the "group of people" idea a bit further -- not that the "Broker" is a group of individuals, but more that he/she himself has been multiple people throughout his history.   I agree w/ the "Dread Pirate Roberts" from The Princess Bride, theory.   Meaning, that the title and/or legend of the "Broker" is eventually replaced by/handed down to an upstart to continue their work.  "Once you find me/beat me, then you may become me."  Realizing then, that the legend of "Shadow Broker" is larger than any one, single individual.

In this case, clearly Liara has the means and drive to track him down, to overtake and/or eventually become the new Shadow Broker.   Additionally, I like the idea that someone you've trusted for so long (and potentially romanced in ME1, as I did) can suddenly become someone that is out for themselves and perhaps cannot be trusted for ME3.

OR possibly the Shadow Broker is an AI.

I actually like that idea, we had a run in with a rogue AI in ME1 and apparently going to be running into another one in the Overlord DLC coming out soon. It would make sense since the Galaxy at large fears the AI.

Dont be crazy, its conrad verner

I think the Shadow Broker is a female salarian. This would solve both the single peson (that is, there is a "boss") and the multiple person theory. Male salarians are biologically imprinted to do what the females of their species want; I imagine this is even more true if the salarian woman in question is their mother. "The" Shadow Broker would be whoever the salarian matriarch is at the time, with the organizational part being her brood (and whoever chooses to work with them, ala Feron in the comic). I also found it interesting that the Broker's enforcer in the comic is a salarian - an odd choice given they aren't typically known for being very physically hardy and/or aggressive.



The salarians, in the context of the Council, are already responsible for intelligence. They gather and analyze information. Female salarians are already kept separate from the rest of the galaxy, protected and secret. That would account for why no one actually deals with the Broker him (her) self.

The Shadow Broker is Barla Von, man I KNOW it's Barla Von.

One reason why I can up with that theory is there has to be a good reason why no one knows what the shadow broker looks like. Maybe it is, as you said, once they find the Shadow Broker the Shadow Broker them selves basicly tells who found them "you're good enough to find me there for good enough to do my job." to help keep the Shadow Broker's identaty a secret.

[CleverCover]

I've heard this before and saw a picture where the Shadow Broker was actually Liara's "Dad". It was meant as a Star Wars Parody joke, but I thought it would be a great possibility. Especially since Liara wants the person/thing/AI dead so badly, it would add drama.

Edit: sorry if someone else posted this. Never realized that there was more than one page.
