Anyone else think the Asari consort is the benefactor?
The Asari consort seems to be the most reasonable choice to be the benefactor. in ME1 she gives Shepard a trinket that she has held onto for years because she knows someone will need it in the future. She is presentiment or has precognition. She knows something very bad is coming and Shepard needs to stop it. She is also absent in ME3. She has to be extremely wealthy and very well connected.
Asari need all the other species to mate. Yes, they can mate with each other but they risk having offspring that can't reproduce. The matriarchs knew about the prothean weapon yet kept it a secret until they were about to be destroyed. Maybe when the asari ambassador signs off by saying she needs to make sure life goes on she is actually making sure the fifth ark has left with more Asari aboard? That would be interesting.
Note all the asari commandos on the Nexus doing absolutely nothing but following Ryder around? Is that just because the devs wanted commandos wandering the Nexus or is it more telling. Someone is actually watching Ryder.
My memory isn't the best, but somewhere it talks about an unknown asari helping a human male instigate or take part of the Nexus uprising. The human dies but the asari disappears. Was there a matriach that actually died? If so, was that the consort? Did we ever know the consort's name?
