The SPECTRES: The Council's Hidden Hand

- The Spectres are the elite of the elite. Drawn from the various protectors of the Mass Effect galaxy, they are deployed to resolve situations and prevent threats to galactic stability and Citadel space. Answering directly (and only) to the Citadel Council, they are often seen as action heroes, spies, assassins as well as diplomats.
Sometimes their presence alone is enough to dissuade danger and sometimes, you won't even know they're there.
So.
Paragon or Renegade?
I've already done something similar for Starfleet, so lets look at another expansive sci-fi universe, this time the Mass Effect one.

“I’m Commander Shepherd is my favourite CZcams channel on the Citadel”
List of Spectres from what we see in game.
Salarian:
Jodum Bau (The one assigned to track down Kasumi Goto and later gains information on the Indoctrinated Hanar; Zimandis)
Beelo guri (First Spectre)
Asari:
Tela Vasri (Attempted to kill Liara and prevent her and Shepard from recovering information of the Shadow Broker which gives her information for her tasks)
Turian:
Saran (betrayed the council and went rogue after allowing with Sovereign and the Geth who was exposed by Shepard and had his spectre status revoked)
Nilius (assigned to inspect Shepard for his candidacy for the Spectres to Eden Prime and recover a Prothean Beacon. Later was killed by Saran)
Human:
Shepard (First Human Spectre
Ashley/Kaiden (depending on who lives, become the second Human Spectre by Councillor Udina)
Other:
Blasto (not really a Spectre, I think more of just a fictional character in a movie within the universe but included just for fun)
Anderson
@@shadowqueen1701 Well Anderson was submitted for the Spectres but Saran ruined his chances.
Love how you're talking about a kitchen product but everyone knows you mean Saren. With an e.
That's all? Seems so few.
On another note, I would love it if a handful of Human Specters in the future came from the Anderson/Shepard branch. Like you either were mentored, trained, blood related, or banged someone in this tree. Could be like a badge of honor for human Specter recruits if you were trained by the first wave of Human Specters.
I like how we didn't see that many. Kept the mystique. However they should of done more with Jodum Bau because what they did do just played into the stereotype that salarians are weaklings. Would of been cool if he helped us on a ground mission. I also feel Nihlus was wasted could of had him die on Virmire during that mission to build him up and show how good spectres are. Instead he just came off as a an idiot who went and got himself killed immediately.
The SPECTRES sound like a totalitarian's wet dream.
One of the first games where I just wanted to know everything about its lore. Great trilogy despite the ending of mass effect 3
First (Human Spectre was Commander Sheperd sorta)!
Well technically was the first actual human spectre. But second Spectre candidate.
@@jasonleslie203 From what we see throughout the books and games, Anderson definitely had the makings to be the first Human Specter. To bad Saren was always a douche even before the indoctrination :\
@@NRV0 yea.
Since humanity wasn't on the Council when Shepard became a Spectre, it can be assumed that Shepard didn't have full access to the Council's resources and they had to rely on the Alliance for support.
Spectres are scary and you'd never want them to exist in real life. The utilization of Spectres tells us a lot about the Council's true nature; that of a self-interested tenuous alliance that seeks to dominate the galaxy for the benefit of its true member races. The Council is not benevolent and neither are the Spectres. A Paragon Shepard is just really good PR.
A Council playing to the Reapers tune.
How about one about Cerberus. One about the company's of the mass effect Galaxy would be cool too.
This was an excellent episode! The SPECTRE agent represents the best of the races of the Council.
I do love some mass effect lore. But you know what I want to see one day.
If and/or when we ever venture out of our solar system and the Citadel Council and the Spectres should turn out to really exist in my lifetime I hope I am chosen.
Your channel is far too small Rick, your wit, and measured knowledge of this and trek as well is relieving to hear again. Giving you a follow mate. Keep it up. 🖒🤘👊
So STG now? ;) Shadow Broker files have interesting backstory on Mordin. One of my favorite character of the games. You could do planets/corporations, or Planets operated by Corporations (Noveria, Illium)
You need to do more Mass Effect videos.
I'd like to but there's not much coming out that's new and I'd mostly just be repeating what other people have already done. There's still the video on the Mass Effect corporations I'd like to make though.
@@CertifiablyIngame how do you make the Power Point Like info graphics? What program do you use?
Earth needs Spectres
I wish you could have explained how blasto became a spector
Two Sci-fi shows you might like to look at and start doing things on is Farscape and Lexx.
Babylon 5 was like proto-mass effect. It ran parallel to DS9. Shame it wasnt as polished as ST:DS9
Ummm, I defiantly look forward to seeing something in Elcoss Combine if we're going by your Company theme.
Sweet 👍
how about Illum and Planet Bekenstine as they are "Corp" planets
Have you covered the Inquisition from Warhammer 40k by any chance?
If not it would make for an interesting video.
The game 40k inquisitor Martyr puts them in an unique light.
Let me guess, they go kill things. Little else happens in 40k
What a cool vid!!
Maybe look into one of the mercenary companies or Aria's gang.
I would love to see a Cultural Index on the Kilrathi from Wing Commander.
Third Attempt!
Please do a video on the Forerunners.
Cerberus?
