Who's the benefactor

[Antharius]

I think they wanted everyone to think it was the Illusive man but got bored of writing that part of the story or forgot who the illusive man was :D

On several occasions the unknown "Benefactor" is actually referred to as a plural, it could be flaws made by the voice actors that the editors didn't notice, but still, it might not be

[PandaTar]

Although being a plural entity would be also interesting: a group of frenzied vorcha with influence. Or something less stupid, of course. :eahigh_file:

Haven't searched the other threads (so I don't know if he has been mentioned) but Victor Manswell. He's done it before.  

Alliance Links Lost Colony with Manswell Expedition of 2070

“Surprising details have emerged about recently-discovered human colonists in the Alpha Centauri system who captured an asari scientist. Alliance ships performed a reconnaissance overflight of the planet in question and gathered details about a settlement there. After cross-referencing with Alliance databases, a clearer picture has emerged. An Alliance source explained: "These people are literally a lost colony in every sense of the word. We're 95% certain they originated from the Manswell Expedition of 2070." A background check reveals Victor Manswell was a billionaire who funded his own private spaceflight in the year 2075 after growing frustrated with the pace of official exploration. Pre-dating the use of mass effect relays, some 300 people joined the expedition and were placed in cryogenic freeze for the journey. After a successful launch the colonists were never heard from again... until today, if Alliance suspicions prove true.”

THIS. Thank you for this. I was trying to remember the name and the circumstances. You nailed it.
