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...

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
Why has nobody suggested Leviathan(s)? Nexus is a big piece of equipment and the old Citadel had whole areas nobody had ever seen but the builders.
Manipulative, secretive, millions of years to acquire resources, information, and technology... and flushed out of hiding from Reapers.
I actually hope it isn't an AI. It obviously could be one but I am AI/advanced machined out. And whoever it is, if they're bad, I hope we actually get to lay hands on that person and bust them up rather than give them a computer virus or over loading them.

Riiiiight, and that is why abbreviation for Andromeda Initiative is... AI? ;-D
