Could the Benefactor Be a Shadowbroker?
Think about it. Is it possible? Could it be one of the beings that was a Shadowbroker (or perhaps an associate)? Probably not but it's still fun to think about it, lol.
But a Shadowbroker has k...

Makes zero sense for the shadowbroker to show himself in regards to SAM and then suddenly hide himself as the benefactor.
What do you mean show himself in regards to SAM?
Oh wait, do you mean to help Alec make SAM? That would actually make quite a bit of sense. In a way, you kind of explained why because it lead you to doubt that the Shadowbroker and the Benefactor could be one and the same.
Also, there have been multiple Shadowbrokers. We can't even be certain if we've seen them and or if the ones we've seen were all really shadowbrokers.
A Shadowbroker just fits the build too well. Probably not it, but still. And I didn't mean to imply that the Shadowbroker remained in the Milky Way. What if the "throne" became empty because the original one vacated it and wasn't killed at all?
What if the Shadowbroker who is the Benefactor came along for the ride? I don't know.
Could also be a geth or an AI... OR... it's Conrad Verner. He was just playing stupid to hide his true agenda. Then he replaced himself with a clone or look alike using Cerberus resources before 3.
You hear that? That was your mind being blown... but not really cause there's no way Conrad is the Benefactor... unless he is.
Even the Jardaan or whatever else the name is, could be the Benefactor.

I am intrigued. How so?
You'll have to do pretty good to top Conrad who is looking pretty solid as the number one contender for the Benefactor as things stand.
okok since we are throwing out "out of this world" speculations, this will be mine 😃
Just like Soverign's real name is Nazara, the name Leviathan is given to a species by Bryson's group of scientist in ME3... What if... their real name was the Jaadan? When the reapers turn on them, they they were clearly very advanced, a group of them could have fled to dark space and ended up in andromeda, they needed a new home and started terraforming the planets. Could certainly have created a new race of AI which forms the basis of the remnants. They used the spherical artifacts to control the ME3 miners/reapers etc... In andromeda they are using a larger sphere (meridian) to control planets(weather, soil PH etc)...

Don't tempt me.
It think they could be preparing Andromeda for exotic species sharing coexistence, somehow herded by the Angara (although their plans failed half way, so they were not exactly lead where they needed to). If the Jarjardaan had knowledge of other species in the neighboring Galaxy, and knew of the desctruction cycle, depending on their nature (opposite of that of a Reaper, or better, the same as the Reaper, although they would keep the species not repurposed as reaper form), they could even be trying to save MW. As it is, they show themselves as the multitude of plenty species (constangly changing their faces when communicating), as well as defining friendly-designed terraforming.
Could be a rogue group of reapers either, given everyone seems to love rogue-like folk.
Ha, as far as wild ideas go, it can be SAM who is the Benefactor. Secretly funded own improvements (rogue AIs are known for hoarding illicit money), and then found a way to runaway to Andromeda, afraid of AI persecutions in Milky Way. When Garson learnt the true, SAM had to "silence" her using its well selected operatives... ;-D
